"The System Only Dreams In Total Darkness"
(Matt Berninger / Carin Besser / Aaron Dessner / Bryce Dessner)

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

[Pre-Chorus:]
The system only dreams in total darkness
Why are you hiding from me?
We're in a different kind of thing now
All night you're talking to God

I thought that this would all work out after a while
Now you're saying that I'm asking for too much attention
Also no other faith is light enough for this place
We said we'd only die of lonely secrets

[Pre-Chorus:]
The system only dreams in total darkness
Why are you hiding from me?
We're in a different kind of thing now
All night you're talking to God

[Chorus:]
I can't explain it
Any other, any other way
I cannot explain it
Any other, any other way

[Pre-Chorus:]
The system only dreams in total darkness
Why are you hiding from me?
We're in a different kind of thing now
All night you're talking to God

[Chorus:]
I can't explain it
Any other, any other way
I can't explain it
Any other, any other way
I can't explain it
Any other, any other way
I can't explain it
Any other, any other way
