Picking Locks


You compromise with me because you know I'll still give in
The love we share's so beautiful but that's just where it ends
Lost in our translations with these signal fires of hope
Still planning out our future like the punchline to a joke

You think you speak so slyly, sweeping dirt under the rug
Intent that we can fake it, looking down from up above
Comparing all their brilliant moves to standards yet attained
It's less than we could hope for but still futile all the same

When you sleep is this the dream that's been imagined?
Or when you scream are these the words you've longed to hear?
All entrapment failed to work here as a magnet
But when you stop to take it in is there some fear?
Well just you wait another year

I'll hold your hand to keep it warm but never for control
Too many seek to get their way but I'll never be so bold
Passive like this sleepless night, I'll take in anything
Chasing it and chasing it, until it forms a ring

When you sleep is this the dream that's been imagined?
Or when you scream are these the words you've longed to hear?
All entrapment failed to work here as a magnet
But when you stop to take it in is there some fear?
Well just you wait another year

I said that I'd get out of here, I told you that I'd leave
But all the doors are tightly locked and you've stolen all the keys
One that puts me in control and one that takes it back
I'll spend my whole life picking locks then see how you react
When you never thought I'd think a thing like that

When you sleep is this the dream that's been imagined?
Or when you scream are these the words you've longed to hear?
All entrapment failed to work here as a magnet
But when you stop to take it in is there some fear?

When you sleep is this the dream that's been imagined?
Or when you scream are these the words you've longed to hear?
All entrapment failed to work here as a magnet
But when you stop to take it in is there some fear?
Well just you wait another year

Just you wait another year, yeah just you wait another year
I'll pick these locks until I'm out of here
