The System Only Dreams In Total Darkness Lyrics - The National

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 

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 

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 

I cannot explain it 

Any other, any other way 

I cannot explain it 

Any other, any other way
