Understand that you can't leave
Understand you can't go home
Understand you must be brave
Even if you're alone

We can't set you free
Think about how that would seem
We're depending on you to tell us what you know.

You'll find out that we are free
you'll find out that we know best
If you tell us what you know
We'll let you shut your eyes and rest

You simply can't go home
Think about what that would mean
We're depending on you, tell us what you know

Over and over again we've asked
over and over so patiently
Over and over your denials
Ring so hollowly

What if we let you go?
Think about what you would do
We're depending on you: tell us what you know

I understand that you can't breathe
I understand it's killing you
You should tell us what you know
Even if it's not true

That wasn't so bad now
Think about what you've seen
We're depending on you, so for god's sake, come clean
