The lashes they tear 
and bite 
ripping into her face 
and eyes 
in dreams, her dreams 
beating her down 
to the ground 
until nothing is left 

*chorus* 

Now tell me, my friend 
can you see all the 
razors that cut 
making you bleed 
and hate 

The feelings we have 
for each other 
that we choose to hide 
away 
deny 
and pay 

Can you pick out the face 
and the reason for all of this pain 
in dreams, your dreams, such dreams 
and bring it out 
into the light 
to pick it apart 

Do you give it a name 
or a race, or a person 
driving before you 
in dreams, your dreams, dark dreams 
the thought that 
negating it's presence 
will make it all stop

*chorus* 

I see in your eyes
that indeed this has happened 
before and it's not done the trick 

So why do you keep 
building houses of hate 
the anger is thick 
in your veins 
as you sway 

The only real thing 
that provides us 
a shelter from harm 
in life, real life, right now 
is the things 
that we say
to the ones that we love 
in the dark
