A Love Letter to Detroit Songtext
von Listener

Another hard winter went and came
In the suburbs in a box with no knife
You′re sleeping still with your choices and your wives
In an office building insulated from the outside
Next to your mother you lay, a perfect stranger beside
Wake up, you're dreaming again Some more hard truths God given a face
And there′s just no way to know how long this will last
But just freeze everything and see if it'll pass
Or, or put it all on hold and see what takes
You're in an alley forgotten you′re not surrounded by likes
Wake up, you′re dreaming again And this is
Your nightmare This is the scene that you play
This is the dream that you have When
You know it's time to go and run away
And this is important
This may really be happening to you
I′m watching you sleep Something has to get through
I keep making rings, these rings around you
Wake up, wake up Wake up, you're dreaming again
Ringing in one more New Year′s Eve all alone


Heading to hills and the weeds are still overgrown
Mark it another year that's fallen right into the
Cracks Are we learning anything? We will be able to come back?
Well, the fear, it keeps us
Wake up, you′re dreaming again And here's
To a building Cheers to a certain tougher skin
You keep getting up from where you're at
And starting over, and over, and over again
The rock has no stop, stay frozen We will find you where you′re at
Lay there until you′re bored to death And it's time to plan
I hope you can make it Or make it back
Wake up, you′re dreaming again And this is your
Life now These are the choices that you've made
This is the way that you feel in your heart The more it breaks
I wonder if it′s all real There's no easy way to rise and win
One day it won′t be this way So try to take it all in
Take your time There's a trap and
These circles that you happened to tie on
Wake up, you're screaming Wake up, you′re dreaming
And this is your nightmare This is the scene that you play
This is the dream that you have When
You know it′s time to go and run away
And this is important This may really be happening to you
I'm watching you sleep Something has to get through
I keep making rings, these rings around you
Wake up, wake up Wake up, wake up You′re dreaming again
