Lyrics
One set on a sad night
Set in a melancholic evening
In an empty room
In a room devoid of company
And 12 people going home
12 individuals departing
With a bad taste in their mouths
Carrying an unpleasant aftertaste
Somethings ringing in their ears and
Something resonating in their minds
They block you out
They choose to ignore you
Somethings bringing them to tears
Something evoking tears
That they can’t work out
Emotions they can't comprehend
12 songs with no choruses or melodies
12 songs lacking traditional structures
12 expressions upon faces of a crowd displeased
12 expressions of displeasure in the crowd
12 moments before she turns to him
12 moments preceding a crucial conversation
And says
Verbalizing the following sentiment
Lets get a move on and head back to where it all makes sense
Proposing a return to clarity
So you leave the stage to a silent applause
Exiting the stage to a silent acknowledgment
That somehow seems louder than a crowd mid-roar
Applause that paradoxically feels louder than cheers
And you think and you think
Contemplation about future actions
Am I ever gonna do this again
Questioning the likelihood of a repetition
Maybe the middle of the stage is not for me
Suggesting discomfort with the center stage
Maybe I’m better of sitting at home
Considering being more comfortable at home
Maybe all
Expressing uncertainty
