Soft light, total silence
So tired to take the table near the door
The table near the door
Set back under fire
Only as stable as I choose to show
If I choose to show
But where were you that night?
When I was…

Well, I feel that this an explosion
Nobody else could ever really know
I would follow you anywhere

You say you don’t believe in science
You’re always afraid of what you can’t control
I would follow you anywhere
But where were you that night?
When I was…

When I was calling for the answer
That you probably shouldn’t know
When it feels like flames surrounding me here
When you were calling with your questions
And all I needed was to know
When it feels like flames surrounding me here

Unkempt and over caffeinated
I walked the forty steps to the room
Back to the room

You say you don’t believe in science
You’re always ashamed of what you’re willing to lose
I would follow you anywhere
But where were you that night?
When I was…

When I was calling for the answer
That you probably shouldn’t know
When it feels like flames surrounding me here
When you were calling with your questions
And all I needed was to know
When it feels like flames surrounding me here

So this is it
So this is it
So this is the silence
So this is the silence we began
It’s never quite
It’s never quite over
It’s never quite over in the silence

When I was calling for the answer
That you probably shouldn’t know
When it feels like flames surrounding me here
When you were calling with your questions
And all I needed was to know
When it feels like flames surrounding me here
