"Elusive Dream" lyrics

Speak now or hold your tongue, no sooner said than done
A taste of the bitter things to come
If spirit is willing but weak, somehow we'll make ends meet
The bed's bare, 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
Twisting a knife in the heart of a lion
Chasing my elusive dream
Heaven knows the end is so bittersweet

Egg on the face of god, for so long you beat the odds
A pale sun 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
Twisting a 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
Twisting a knife in the heart of a lion
Chasing my elusive dream
Heaven knows the end is so bittersweet
