Lyrics
Fingers in
Listen what voices say
Fingers in
Listen what voices say
You always wrote for me, ego
Risk worth taking, risk worth leaving
Seems I'm still afraid of promise
To promise
Too big to stop
Too big to hold down
Trade up for the fast ride[2]
Trade your friends
Time passes us
Don't move
Be still
Be silent
Pulling your teeth, you push away
Cancel plans, cancel them all
Check your breath for cold and hold on
Please hold on
No pictures left to burn goodbye to
The smell of ash and white walls blank
Time passes us
Don't move
Be still
Be silent
Horizontal lines and button-up
Horizontal lines and button-up
Fingers in
Listen what voices say
The drawers of paper all say one thing
Like music boxes custom-made
Time passes us
Don't move
Be still
Be silent
Recording Details
Many entries online mention that Eric Richter sings on this track. This is likely because he's credited as singing "It's all the same..." in the liner notes. That line, however, is from the song Digits, not In The Same Room. Jimmy Eat Pod questions whether or not the lyric is "She doesn't listen..." as opposed to "Fingers in listen..."

Other Versions
The track listing for the first pressing is completely screwed up from how it should appear based on the studio album. The first pressing has album track “In The Same Room” appearing on the bonus 7″ intended for the bonus tracks, when it’s the 10th track on the studio that should appear as track 5 on the B-side of the record. The second pressing corrects this issue without the need for a bonus 7″ because the album was mastered properly, using the analog master, to stretch across to LP’s. So on the second pressing Static Prevails appears as intended, with the studio album appearing in order uninterrupted, with all the bonus tracks being tacked on to the end of the record on the C-side. the D-side of the second pressing blank and has no etching.[4]

- ↑ Tom Eats World, too! As if taking a note from fans and, ultimately, tour-mates Blink-182, JEW splits the workload straight down the middle between their two respective vocalists. “Rockstar”, “Seventeen”, “Episode IV”, “Caveman”, and “Robot Factory” are Linton’s, “Claire”, “Digits”, “World Is Static”, “In the Same Room”, and “Anderson Mesa” are Adkins’, and they more or less both shout-sing “Thinking, That’s All” and “Call It In the Air”.[1]
