The System Only Dreams in Total Darkness

The National

[Verse 1]
Maybe I listen more than you think
I can tell that somebody sold you
We said we've never let anyone in
We said we'd only die of lonely secrets[Chorus]
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[Verse 2]
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[Chorus]
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[Bridge]
I cannot explain it
Any other, any other way
I cannot explain it
Any other, any other way[Chorus]
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[Bridge]
I cannot explain it
Any other, any other way
I cannot explain it
Any other, any other wayI cannot explain it
Any other, any other way
I cannot explain it
Any other, any other way
