Deadbolt

When deadbolts awake you from deja vu dreams,

At four in the morning you know where I'll be.

Out running red lights asleep at the wheel.

The sirens feed my nightmares

I just close my eyes and I'm already there;

It's already too late.

I know it's nothing but lies,

But they sound so sincere;

I find them too hard to hate.

And she calls from the doorway "stolen water is so sweet,

So let's drink in the darkness if you know what I mean"

And she calls from the doorway "stolen water is so sweet,

So let's drink in the darkness if you know what I mean"

And I'm almost sure

That I've been here before,

That this is not the first time I've stood in front of that door,

With an overwhelming feeling that I shouldn't go in,

But it seems this is a battle that I never could win.

And you!

My true love!

You call from the hilltop.

You call through the streets,

"Darling don't you know,

The water is poison."

And I say!

“Come on and give me my poison.”

What have I done?

Is it too late to save me from this place?

From the depths of the grave?

We all are those

Who thought we were brave.

What have I done?
