The System Only Dreams in Total Darkness The National

[Intro]
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh

[Verse 1]
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]
The system only dreams in total darkness
Why are you hidin' from me?
We're in a different kind of thing now
All night you're talkin' to God

[Verse 2]
I thought that this would all work out after a while
Now you're sayin' that I'm askin' 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 hidin' from me?
We're in a different kind of thing now
All night you're talkin' to God
