lyrics

To count all the spaces in the dark
Might take a while
I’ll wait for your signal
It’s not my decision
No pets allowed
A voice outside my window
Sings a lonely serenade
A song of sweet surrender
To rain on my parade
I’m more than a number
I’m not just a name
I think you know why

Answers that you seek are not the ones you’re going to find
Questions form a tangle you’re too careless to unwind
The compromise in failure will keep you up at night
Counting all the spaces in the dark

I’ll wait for your signal
It’s not my decision
I think you know why

Answers that you seek are not the ones you’re going to find
Questions form a tangle you’re too careless to unwind
There comes a time and comes a place

Might not happen here
Might not happen now
There’s no reason to rush
There will come a day
You know it’s on the way
You will submit or be crushed
I choose: crushed

The pressure from above is a thousand times below
My bones will start to splinter and my body explodes
There’s blood splashed on the ceiling
My guts are on the floor
I’m a millionth of the man I ever was before
The crush

I’m more than a number
I’m not just a name
I think you know why
