lyrics

Can you?
Can you see darkness?
Outside your windowpane?
Behind the reflection of rooms?
Have you?
Have you told others this?
Have you tried to go out there?
Will you take them?
Take them too?

Can you?
Can you see darkness?
Patches on perfect spheres?
Spots on the sun? Little moons?
Can you?
Can you see darkness?
People who carry it?
All the ways, (the) places it moves?
Have you?
Have you told the others this?
Have you tried to tell them this?
Have you tried to say
That the earth moves?

CHORUS
They won’t see it.
They won’t see you.
And they will lock you
Into a room
(Da da)

In a room
They’re gonna leave you there
Without any telescopes
Without anything you could use.
They’ll block exits
They’ll build you a tomb
Yes they will build for you
The most beautiful perfect tomb.

CHORUS
They won’t see it
How it still moves
So they will lock you
Into a room.
