William Beckett
40 Steps
Soft light, total silence
So tired, you take the table near the door
The table near the door

Sat back, under fire
I'm only as stable as I choose to show
If I choose to show
But where were you that night?
When I was

Well, I feel that this an explosion
That nobody else could ever really know
But I would follow you anywhere

You say you don't believe in science
You're always afraid of what you can't control
I would follow you anywhere
But where were you that night?
When I was

When I was calling for the answer
That you probably shouldn't know
Well, it feels like flames surrounding me here

When you were calling with your questions
When all I needed was to know
That it feels like flames surrounding me here
Unkempt and over-caffeinated
I walked the forty steps to the moon
(Back to the moon)

You say you don't believe in science
You're always ashamed of what you're willing to lose
But I would follow you anywhere
But where were you that night?
When I was

When I was calling for the answer
That you probably shouldn't know
When it feels like flames surrounding me here

When you were calling with your questions
When all I needed was to know
When it feels like flames surrounding me here

So this is it, so this is it
So this is the silence
So this is the silence we began
It's never quite, it's never quite over
It's never quite over in the silence

When I was calling for the answer
That you probably shouldn't know
Well, it feels like flames surrounding me here
When you were calling with your questions
When all I needed was to know
Well, it feels like flames surrounding me here
