Lyrics
0:09You tell me come over
0:11Then settle there to read
0:14And say it can wait
0:19I'm so unstable
0:21And I begin to leave
0:24Still holding this cage
0:28'Cause I have dragged in corpses
0:30Warmth on their lips
0:33As evidence of life
0:38And I have found their
0:39Voices hard to resist
0:43Even when they lie
0:45They're still talking
0:49And telling me I run
0:53Like I don't
0:55Read the signs
0:58Some are beating drums
1:02Staying low but holding time
1:10Show me something
1:12Surreal
1:14I'm your new lover
1:17So on fire
1:19In the night in the night
1:29Are you hopeless
1:31Like me
1:33Then you'll notice
1:36Those fires
1:38In the night in the night
1:50So why can we never
1:52Say the things we mean
1:55Before it's too late
2:00I've got some secrets
2:02I intend to keep
2:04Down to my grave
2:09'Cause I've built a fortress
2:12Failures and bricks
2:14Underneath the ice
2:19You have come
2:20And placed your hand on my wrist
2:23Dragged me in the light
2:26Now I'm hoping
2:30I will be enough
2:33To behold
2:36For a time
2:39And I would even trust
2:43With control
2:45Who relies
2:50Show me something
2:53Surreal
2:55Your new lover
2:58On fire
3:00In the night in the night
3:09Are you hopeless
3:12Like me
3:14Then you'll notice
3:17Those fires
3:19In the night in the night
3:28In the night
3:31Beg for it beg for it
3:33Beg for it beg for it
3:36I'm nervous I'm nervous
3:38I'm insincere
3:40I'm insincere
3:40Beg for it beg for it
3:43Beg for it
3:48Show me something
3:51Surreal
3:53Your new lover
3:55On fire
3:57In the night in the night
4:07Are you hopeless
4:09Like me
4:12Then you'll notice
4:14Those fires
4:16In the night in the night
4:26In the night
You tell me come over Then settle there to read And say it can wait I'm so unstable And I begin to leave Still holding this cage 'Cause I have dragged in corpses Warmth on their lips As evidence of life And I have found their Voices hard to resist Even when they lie They're still talking And telling me I run Like I don't Read the signs Some are beating drums Staying low but holding time Show me something Surreal I'm your new lover So on fire In the night in the night Are you hopeless Like me Then you'll notice Those fires In the night in the night So why can we never Say the things we mean Before it's too late I've got some secrets I intend to keep Down to my grave 'Cause I've built a fortress Failures and bricks Underneath the ice You have come And placed your hand on my wrist Dragged me in the light Now I'm hoping I will be enough To behold For a time And I would even trust With control Who relies Show me something Surreal Your new lover On fire In the night in the night Are you hopeless Like me Then you'll notice Those fires In the night in the night In the night Beg for it beg for it Beg for it beg for it I'm nervous I'm nervous I'm insincere I'm insincere Beg for it beg for it Beg for it Show me something Surreal Your new lover On fire In the night in the night Are you hopeless Like me Then you'll notice Those fires In the night in the night In the night
