Entangled States - Room #72 Lyrics

It's a long hallway we gotta walk down
It's a long long way
Yellow light leaves yellow shadows on your face
As it flickers on and off
Count the numbers on the doors
I'm counting the tiles on the floor
I don't know the sound of my own voice anymore
I wondered if you would be awake when I came to get you
I tried everything I knew
I took the elevator to room number 72

Would your visage cut me in two?
When I grab your arm not a moment too soon
Your mind is awake in the other room
And we wind our way to room number 72
I give up on the issue
I give up on that one too
Explosions outside, there's poison in the machines
I count the ceiling tiles
I flew five hundred miles

I can only guess what you're thinking
It starts with a tidal wave
Then the buildings all fall down
Look at the mess you made
A vacant stare from half-closed eyes
Created the purple skies
The celebrations at world's end
Only to start again
If I only knew, goddamn
What was in room number 72

Wondered if you'd be awake
It's a long hallway we've got to walk down
Will your visage cut me in two?
Take the elevator to room number 72
Count the tiles on the floor
Count the numbers on the doors
Count the ceiling tiles
I flew 500 miles
That's all we know
Again and again
Now it's time to go
