I thought that you knew it all

Well you've seen it ten times before.

I thought that you had it down

With both your feet on the ground.

I love slow...slow but deep.

Feigned affections wash over me.

Dream on my dear

And renounce temporal obligations.

Dream on my dear

It's a sleep from which you may not awaken.



You build me up then you knock me down.

You play the fool while I play the clown.

We keep time to the beat of an old slave drum.

You raise my hopes then you raise the odds

You tell me that I dream too much

Now I'm serving time in disillusionment.



I don't believe you anymore...I don't believe you.



I thought that I knew it all

I'd seen all the signs before.

I thought that you were the one

In darkness my heart was won.



You build me up then you knock me down.

You play the fool while I play the clown.

We keep time to the beat of an old slave drum.

You raise my hopes then you raise the odds

You tell me that I dream too much

Now I'm serving time in a domestic graveyard.



I don't believe you anymore...I don't believe you.



Never let it be said I was untrue

I never found a home inside of you.

Never let it be said I was untrue

I gave you all my time.
