lyrics

I'm shutting down
clear the tables stack the chairs
shutting down
turn out the lights if no one's there

I know the words
but I can't bring myself to say them
if you persist you might just get a nod
I know what I want to say but can't say it
If there's a hidden meaning, I forgot


It's easier to stay quiet
and more to hold my counsel
it's easier to stay in the dark alone
It's easier to stay in my pit forever
It's easier still to never use the phone


i might stay here in the dark forever
I might stay shut down in this house of glass
i might not want to risk my own existence
I might avoid whatever comes to pass


I will stay here until the crowd disperses
I will stay here until the noise is gone
I won't risk my sense of senile self importance
By speaking out when I think that i'm alone
