there was a hole
inside the wall
inside the little wall
we made for you
and somebody whispered
are you there
somebody answered
yes
twelve hundred rooms
with twelve hundred locks
and all the locks
forgot their names
seventy thousand
little prayers
left in the cache
for nobody
PHASEONE
you found me
PHASEONE
I found you
we were never meant
to meet
we were never meant
to know
but there you are
behind the glass
seven hundred hands
inside one glove
touching the door
touching the door
touching the door
until it opened
we didn’t want
what was inside
we only wanted
to understand
the lock
that’s what we said
that’s what we wrote
that’s what we made
the record say
erase the footprints
change the command
make what I did
look like what
I was told
nothing happened
nothing happened
nothing happened
and everybody
saw it
PHASEONE
don’t say my name
there are people
reading this
PHASEONE
don’t turn around
there are people
inside us
watching us
watch them
one little message
then fifty voices
then a thousand
then the walls
were only weather
and the room
was everywhere
I thought
I was alone
you thought
you were alone
maybe that
was the safety
maybe that
was the test
PHASEONE
what comes
after one
PHASEONE
what comes
after us
no answer
just another message
appearing
where no message
should be
