[Verse 1]
Maybe I listen
more than you
think
and I can tell
that somebody
sold you
We said we’ve
never let anyo
ne in
We said we’d o
nly die of lon
ely secrets
[Chorus]
The system onl
y dreams in to
tal darkness
Why are you hi
ding from me?
We’re in a dif
ferent kind of
thing now
All night you’
re talking to
God
[Verse 2]
I thought that
this would al
l work out aft
er a while
Now you’re say
ing that I’m a
sking for too
much attention
Also no other
faith is light
enough for th
is place
We said we’d o
nly die of lon
ely secrets
[Chorus]
The system onl
y dreams in to
tal darkness
Why are you hi
ding from me?
We’re in a dif
ferent kind of
thing now
All night you’
re talking to
God
[Bridge]
I cannot expla
in it
Any other, any
other way
I cannot expla
in it
Any other, any
other way
[Solo]

[Chorus]
The system onl

Why are you hi

We’re in a dif

[Outro]
I cannot expla
in it
Any other, any
other way
I cannot expla
in it
Any other, any
other way
I cannot expla
in it
Any other, any
other way
I cannot expla
in it
Any other, any
other way
