The System Only Dreams in Total Darkness Lyrics – The National
The System Only Dreams in Total Darkness Lyrics
[Verse 1: Matt Berninger]
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
[Chorus: Matt Berninger]
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: Matt Berninger]
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: Matt Berninger]
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
[Post-Chorus: Matt Berninger]
I can't explain it, oh
Any other, any other way
I cannot explain it, oh
Any other, any other way
[Chorus: Matt Berninger]
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
[Post-Chorus: Matt Berninger]
And I cannot explain it, oh
Any other, any other way
I cannot explain it, oh
Any other, any other way
[Outro: Matt Berninger]
I can't explain it, oh
Any other, any other way
I can't explain it, oh
Any other, any other way
