Surreal Lyrics - James Vincent Mcmorrow

Tell me come over 

Then settle in to read 

And say it can wait 

But I'm so unstable 

That I begin to leave 

Still holding this cage 

I have dragged in corpses 

Warmth on their lips 

As evidence of life 

I have found their voices 

Hard to resist 

Even when they lie 

They're still talking 

Telling me I run 

Like I don't 

Read the signs 

Some are beating drums 

Staying low but 

Holding time 

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 

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 have built a fortress 

Failures and bricks 

Underneath the ice 

You have come 

And placed your palm on my wrist 

Dragged me in the light 

Now i'm hoping 

I will be enough 

To behold 

For a time 

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 here 

I'm nervous 

That I'm insincere 

Beg for it 

Beg for it here 

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
