lyrics

The dream wakes me
I was in trouble again
Hanging off a cliff at a subway stop
The letter from the school threatened discipline
Scribbled numbers I can't read in
faith In faith you told me it's wrong
I twist the truth
A short cut to bad luck
The same self-abuse
But I have these dreams
Empty pools and broken houses
Ringing in my ears as I wait for the subway
A ringing in my ears as I walk the beat
And I can't stop hoping
I can't stop hating
It's hope against hope
