I wrote you a letter, I put the subject in the header
I hope you looked it over before it made it to the shredder
Cuz the days ain't getting better and the nights ain't any steadier
I'm prayin to whichever figure in the universe controls the weather
To give some kind of answer, or to wake me up from this disaster
Of fantasy gone wrong, I'm no longer of my destiny the Master
Nor the iron caster, I forged this armored suit of plaster
That cracked at the first sight of battle and made me vulnerable to my attackers

I didn't expect the trespassers to be strong as my love for you
Trying to take me out with every step when I attempt to push through
I'm trying to reach the door ending this corridor which I know leads to you
And give our secret knock in the rhythm to our heartbeats so you know who
Is beating on the outside, beggin' to be let in
Screaming to the skies, but there's no cracks in this fortress
It's been a long journey but there's no room to stop just yet
As I lay with my head in my hands at the step of your stone mansion

Hoping that the door will open soon, and you'll invite me in
Conscious of the wounds I've endured as you wipe the blood from my chin
Before you lean in close to prize me with my victor's kiss
And lead back to the top of this pedestal to bathe in this old bliss
As if it was the beginning of an overdue wish
Thank God, because this sea's too big and I never learned to fish
I just blow them out of the water with my quick explosiveness
And I see you gasping for air as I frantically try to fill the pond back in

I forgot to finish tellin' you the other day what you mean to me
I was about to do it, but couldn't tell if whether or not this was a dream
Or a nightmare, It's a fine line between reality and make believe
And if dreaming's where I'll find you then I'll give my eyes a squeeze
