40 Numbers (Amelia) Songtext
von Hannah Epperson

I′m counting lines on the road
How many paces get me home
If I look up, I know I am lost
My wires are crossed again

And I'm so scared to wake up in the wrong
Jesus Christ, father, it′s harder than I thought
Another path to take us underground
There's not enough light

I'll build my world with shapes and scales that you can′t touch
Using numbers, using figures that you′ll believe
Take more space
Crack the code
Shrink it down even more 'til it slips away


Overheat, overload, let it go
It′s 40 numbers to remember a lover's name
Too much light
Close the blinds
Copper wire underground, overhead to tether me to you

This is a dead land, this is a desert
There′s not a code we can break to get out
We're shapes without form, shades without colour
Here we are walking with nowhere to go
Go, go, go, go

So I′m still counting lines on the road
In the dark without you, it's harder than I though
This is the path of only hollow men
Shadows fall around them
