We drew lines upon it

So our thoughts could meet
使我们的想法得到满足
Through cables black and cold

We carry our intentions to bridge
我们将心意传送到彼端
And bring home

Would it all be so clear
如果这一切全被擦尽
If the lines were erased

And the silence restored

In the streets at night
现在夜晚的街道
In suburbs of cities with no name

Is this destruction or just quiet protest

Against loneliness

Our message will need a ship
