A New Set Of Signs

I never thought it’d be easy
Yet I never thought you’d make it so hard
I just wanted to speak my mind
Before this fortress in my head falls apart
I made plans for myself and the one I wished was you
Oh how I wished these dreams would all come true

Your reaction just floored me
Yet it shouldn’t be that big a surprise
I knew exactly where those steps might lead
And I took the truth as just a bunch of lies
I always knew the ending of this evil book
But maybe it’s time to take another look

Where can we be marking time
Where can we go drawing lines
It’s just another wheel turning, a fire burning
As we build a new set of signs, yeah

Don’t you see I had to reveal
The things I stored in the room without lights
That no one was supposed to see
But I tell you, it’s all clear in sleepless nights
When the dreams you have don’t feel like dreams anymore
And there’s no key that fits the lock of this room’s door

Where can we be marking time
Where can we go drawing lines
It’s just another wheel turning, a fire burning
As we build a new set of signs, yeah

I made plans for myself and the one I wished was you
Oh how I wished these dreams would all come true

What can we reach following fools
What do we preach breaking rules
It’s just another wheel turning, a fire burning
As we build a new set of tools

Where can we be marking time
Where can we go drawing lines
It’s just another wheel turning, a fire burning
As we build a new set of signs, yeah

New sets of signs, we’re building
a new set of tools, that we use for building
new sets of signs, we’re building
a new set of tools, that we use for building
new sets of signs, we’re building
a new set of tools, that we use for building
new sets of signs, we’re building
a new set of fools
