[Verse 1] What about silence? What about sound? What about all the voices we lost underground? What about faded streets, and neon signs? What about all the truths we swore were yours and mine? [Pre-Chorus] Did you ever stop to feel it— The lightning screaming through the sky?! Did you ever see the shadows!! Underneath where we used to lie?! [Chorus – looped vocal harmonies over ambient textures] Ah, ah-ah (Ah) Ooh, ooh-ooh (Ooh) Ah, ah-ah (Ah) Ooh, ooh-ooh (Ooh) [Verse 2] What about damage? What about flame? What about all the names we never learned to name? What about midnight hearts, and distant cries? What about all the lives we buried in disguise? [Pre-Chorus] Did you ever stop to wonder!! Why the echoes feel so loud? Did you ever walk the edges!! Where the light no longer drowns? [Chorus – second layer of vocals, filtered electric guitar builds softly] Ah, ah-ah! (Ah) Ooh, ooh-ooh! (Ooh) Ah, ah-ah! (Ah) Ooh, ooh-ooh! (Ooh) [Bridge – low-pitched spoken word with glitchy fragments] I used to believe! In stars that cut through smoke I used to think! We’d find a better road But every step now pulls like rust And we forgot the ones we trust [Chorus – with ambient guitar swells and bass hits] Ah, ah-ah!! (Ah) Ooh, ooh-ooh!! (Ooh) Ah, ah-ah!! (Ah) Ooh, ooh-ooh!! (Ooh) Ah, ah-ah!! (Ah) Ooh, ooh-ooh!! (Ooh) Ah, ah-ah!! (Ah) Ooh, ooh-ooh!! (Yeah) [Breakdown – subtle rap / ambient guitar with glitchy layering] What about yesterday?! (What about us?!) Where did we go?! (What about us?!) Skies are getting darker! (What about us?!) But we don’t say no! (What about us?!) What about the oceans?! (What about us?!) The ones we drained! (What about us?!) What about the silence?! (What about us?!) It's screaming your name! (What about us?!) What about the stories! (What about us?!) Never told?! (What about us?!) What about the kids! (What about us?!) Growing cold?! (What about us?!) What about the noise! (What about us?!) In the rain?! (What about us?!) What about the feeling! (What about us?!) We never claimed?! (What about us?!) What about us—!!! Still chasing light?! (What about us?!) What about the dreams! (What about us?!) We left behind?! (What about us?!) [Chorus – fading repetition, echo trails and glitch crackle fade] Ah, ah-ah!!! (Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo) Ooh, ooh-ooh!!! (Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo) Ah, ah-ah!!! (Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo) Ooh, ooh-ooh!! (Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo) Ah, ah-ah!! (Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo) Ooh, ooh-ooh
