Elusive Dream

Speak now or hold your tongue
No sooner said than done
A taste of the better things to come
If spirit is willing but weak
Somehow we'll make ends meet
The beds where I cried myself to sleep

I hear the sirens calling

Don't wanna fight fair
Stuck in a nightmare
Tell me a lie when I'm caught in the crosshairs
Every night I grind my teeth
Heaven knows the end is so bittersweet
Praying for guidance
Suffer in silence
Pushing the knife in the heart of a lion
Chasing my elusive dream
Heaven knows the end is so bittersweet

Ache on the face of God
For so long you beat the odds
A pale sound bleeding through the fog
Hollow graves, forgotten days
Cadillac driving through the barricade
Waves on the shoreline
Wishing for more time

Don't wanna fight fair
Stuck in a nightmare
Tell me a lie when I'm caught in the crosshairs
Every night I grind my teeth
Heaven knows the end is so bittersweet
Praying for guidance
Suffer in silence
Pushing the knife in the heart of a lion
Chasing my elusive dream
Heaven knows the end is so bittersweet

At the bottom of the ocean
When they opened up the gates
Could you say what you believe
And be reborn within a dream?

Don't wanna fight fair
Stuck in a nightmare
Tell me a lie when I'm caught in the crosshairs
Every night I grind my teeth
Heaven knows the end is so bittersweet
Praying for guidance
Suffer in silence
Pushing the knife in the heart of a lion
Chasing my elusive dream
Heaven knows the end is so bittersweet
