[INTRO - CHILD WHISPER]
Hey… can I ask you something?
…what’s the quietest way to go away?
Do you think… I could just… stop being here?
[VERSE 1]
Does the sky ever crack?
Can stars fall down and break your back?
What if the water drinks you whole?
Do fish know how to steal your soul?
[CHORUS 1]
What if the world forgets your name?
What if no one calls your game?
What if the dark doesn’t care…
If you’re still breathing… or not there?
[VERSE 2]
Daddy, do ghosts wear pajamas too?
Can silence choke you if it knew?
What if your heart forgets to beat?
Does death knock soft… or stomp your feet?
[BRIDGE]
Why won’t you answer? Why do you stare?
Is it worse to know… or not to care?
Maybe I’ll find out when I’m alone…
In the dark where you don’t come home…
[CLIMAX]
WHAT IF THE WALLS SWALLOW YOU WHOLE?
WHAT IF YOUR NAME IS JUST A HOLE?
WHAT IF THE LIGHT NEVER COMES BACK?
WHAT IF YOU’RE NOT EVEN HERE TO ASK?
[OUTRO - DISTORTED CHILD VOICE]
...I didn’t mean to disappear.
