Lyrics
Maybe I listen more than you think,
and I can tell that somebody sold you.
We said we’d never let anyone in.
We said we’d only die of lonely secrets.
The system only dreams in total darkness.
Why are you hiding from me?
We’re in a different kind of thing now—
all night you’re talking to God.
I thought that this would all work out after a while,
now you’re saying that I’m asking for too much attention.
Also, no other faith is light enough for this place!
We said we’d only die of lonely secrets.
The system only dreams in total darkness.
Why are you hiding from me?
We’re in a different kind of thing now—
all night you’re talking to God.
And I cannot explain it any other, any other way.
I cannot explain it any other, any other way.
The system only dreams in total darkness.
Why are you hiding from me?
We’re in a different kind of thing now—
All night you’re talking to God.
And I cannot explain it any other, any other way.
I cannot explain it any other, any other way.
I cannot explain it any other, any other way.
I cannot explain it any other, any other way.
