A Love Letter To Detroit

(альбом: Being Empty : Being Filled - 2018)

Another hard winter went and came, in the suburbs in a box with no name.
Sleeping still with your choices and your wives, in an office building insulated from the outside.
Next to your mother you lay a perfect stranger beside.
Wake up, your dreaming again.

Some more hard truths got given a face, making the places we live in look like graves.
And there's no way to know how long this will last, to just freeze everything, and see if it will pass.
Or put it all on hold and see what takes. You're not an island forgotten, you're not surrounded by lakes.
Wake up, you're dreaming again.

And this your nightmare. This is the scene that you play. This is the dream that you have when you know it's time to go and run away.
And this is important. This may really be happening to you I'm watching you sleep something has to get through.
But I keep making rings, these rings around you.
Wake up, wake up, wake up your dreaming again.

Ringing in one more new years eve all alone, head under heels, and the weeds are still overgrown.
Mark it another year that's fallen right through the cracks. Are we learning anything? Will we be able to come back?
Well, fear it keep us.
Wake up, you're dreaming again.

And here's to rebuilding, cheers to a certain tougher skin.
You keep getting up from where you're at, and starting over and over and over again.
The wreck hasn't stopped, stay frozen we'll find you where you're at.
Lay there until you're bored of death, and it's time to plant.
I hope you can make it back, or make it back.
Wake up, you're dreaming again.

And this is your life now. These are the choices that you've made. This is the way that you feel in your heart the more it breaks.
And what if it's all real? There's no easy way to rise and win. One day it won't be this way, so try and take it all in.
Take your time. There's a trap in these circles you're happy to tie on.
Wake up you're screaming, wake up you're dreaming again!
And this your nightmare. This is the scene that you play. This is the dream that you have when you know it's time to go and run away.
And this is important. This may really be happening to you I'm watching you sleep something has to get through.
But I keep making rings, these rings around you.
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up your dreaming again.
