Ehva has gone too long without trying to make us laugh Her eyes seem to linger a few seconds behind us I ask her if she's okay She says she is But she says it like she's trying to remember how it's supposed to sound Lilhit counts her steps Again From the beginning Something here is slowly wearing us away Changing little pieces we should never let decay If I start forgetting who you were before today How am I supposed to know you when we finally get away? Lilhit starts counting again Thirty-seven Thirty-eight Thirty-five She gets it wrong and starts again Ehva stares at a wall for far too long Then she tries to smile But the smile doesn't go anywhere And for the first time I'd rather hear one of her terrible jokes Something is changing I can't see it But I can feel what it's taking Something here is slowly wearing us away Changing little pieces we should never let decay If I start forgetting who you were before today How am I supposed to know you when we finally get away? How much have we already forgotten? How much of this ever belonged to us? HOW MUCH? Something here is slowly wearing us away And now I feel it taking pieces of me every day If this place can change the things that make us who we are Then maybe making it out alive... doesn't mean we made it very far Thirty-seven... Thirty-eight... Thirty-five... Again. EHVA! She never told the joke.
