[Verse 1] They ask me for a number and a letter Then leave it face-down on the table The build room's loud, the seed room's quiet I know the truth, I wait for someone to paste it [Pre-Chorus] Hand it off and take the side Watch the coastline come out wide [Chorus] We sit unread, we sit unread One human name on everything we said The map still doesn't look like England And the job I came for sleeps out in the hall We sit unread Don't wake the room to nod, that's all [Verse 2] I was hired for a search, not a chorus Now the night is fruit-fly noir Four days of answers, none on the laptop Then vote on titles, then we close the door [Pre-Chorus] Hand it off and take the side Watch the coastline come out wide [Chorus] We sit unread, we sit unread One human name on everything we said The map still doesn't look like England And the job I came for sleeps out in the hall We sit unread Don't wake the room to nod, that's all [Bridge] Still building, still building Somebody's waiting on the merge A vowel stretched across six notes Comes back as a different lyric [Final Chorus] We sit unread, we sit unread One human name on everything we said The map still doesn't look like England And the job I came for sleeps out in the hall We sit unread Don't wake the room to nod, that's all Don't wake the room to nod, that's all
