Safety In Numbers

You see her
She's lovely as oranges
On canvas
She doesn't want anything
But to have her
Fleeting escape from God
Am I sorry
I already told you
These four lies
Feel like the edge of my brain
I can't see them
I can hardly remember her name
And this silence
All this being alone
In the house
We never say anything
We just stare out
At the people who're staring at us
The sidewalk
Was shaking this morning
With people
All these rattling bones
If I could I
Would take every one of them home
And I'd scream out
Want to be just like you
Do you ever feel
Just like that too
Let's just stay here
There's safety in numbers, it's true
And this silence
All this being alone
In a house
We never go anywhere
We just stare out
At the people please take me I'm yours
You pretend you're asleep
I'll pretend I can speak
Please listen, I'm talking to you
I stammer and stray from these things I can't say
I wonder do you think them too
If I told you I knew you and I were like two
Words we can't utter aloud
But we both fall from grace
To the same sinful place
To just become another face in the crowd
And this silence
All this being alone
In the house
I swear I'll do anything
Just to find her
She's so simple, so lovely and then
Am I sorry
I already told you
These four lies
Feel like the edge of my brain
I can't see them
I can hardly remember her name
But the sidewalk
Was shaking this morning
With people
All these rattling bones
Let's just stay here
There's safety in numbers and God
