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)
