The signal is subtle

With only simple words

With only subtle turns

I won't sleep if you won't sleep

So I won't sleep if you won't sleep tonight

G
Our act of defiance
Em F
We keep this secret in our blood

No paper or letters

We hide within our veins
G
The things that keep us bound to one another
