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.
