In the dark when you think you hear your name
They should know that this is an awful way
Say, “let’s talk in the daytime, we’ll work something out
Cause I’m tired and I don’t care what this is about”
The next night when they call on you the same
Just ignore it and it’ll drive them insane
Don’t get signed on to spew some uppercase truth
They’ll take all the credit when you say what you already knew
You’re in a new room trying to escape
But they always follow us to our new place
Yeah, they know this is usually the time that we falter
But you’ve read the fine print on all that they offer
You never said what they wanted you to say
It wasn’t “speak up” or “pack me up, send me away”
But once it was day you went down to the water
It looked like infinity and you knew not to bother
