The dark is a blanket, is a blanket
the film runs at 20 frames per second.
Why cant you see that this is more than a part of me
In the back row, sitting in the back row
The screens filled with characters that Id like to know
So smooth and calm, this is where I belong.

The dim light guides me down the runway as the film takes off
The crowds silence is piercing. The crowds silence is piercing
Were living reel to reel, watching opening credits.
Should have known that theyd last this long.

We dive in and somehow were missing the obvious meaning
Dont go we still gotta figure out the most obvious reason
