Listener - A Love Letter To Detroit Lyrics
Another hard winter went and came, in the suburbs in a box with no name.
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, your dreaming again.
And there's no way to know how long this will last, to just freeze everything, and see if it will pass.
Or put it all on hold and see what takes. You're not an island forgotten, you're not surrounded by lakes.
Wake up, you're dreaming again.
And this 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.
But I keep making rings, these rings around you.
Wake up, wake up, wake up your dreaming again.
Ringing in one more new years eve all alone, head under heels, and the weeds are still overgrown.
Well, fear it keep us.
Wake up, you're dreaming again.
And here's to rebuilding, cheers to a certain tougher skin.
You keep getting up from where you're at, and starting over and over and over again.
The wreck hasn't stopped, stay frozen we'll find you where you're at.
Lay there until you're bored of death, and it's time to plant.
I hope you can make it back, 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.
And what if it's all real? There's no easy way to rise and win. One day it won't be this way, so try and take it all in.
Take your time. There's a trap in these circles you're happy to tie on.
Wake up you're screaming, wake up you're dreaming again!
And this 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.
But I keep making rings, these rings around you.
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up your dreaming again.

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
Making the places we live in look like grace
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 lakes
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
edit: small grammatical fixes, also, this song is about both Detroit and a place called The Cryonic Institute in clinton township, Michigan (about 4 miles from where I live). Look up some pics; it's a creepy place full of creepy dead rich frozen people. Listener strikes again.
love the song but the lead guitar at the sound sounds like it is pulled straight from The Pixies' "Where Is My Mind"
This is just packed with passion, my friend just introduced me to your music and I've been falling down this emotional rabbit hole with you guys for the past few hours. Thoroughly enjoying the music and the depth and meaning of your lyrics.
Favorite song on the album
