Everyone's careful They're plotting their best escapes For fear of this whole place burning down Puzzles and pieces We're tangled in cages They rattle and shake their bones They grew from the earth I watched them grow They came up and grabbed me
So stand in a world that seems to be built On pillars and numbers Or dance with the hopes of falling in love Before we have learned to love ourselves
Measures and objects They fall in our fuel of words And we are widdled away by zeros, ones Somebody save us And nobody asks this Where does our heart live on In dreaming of dangers, dream of God And maybe we've got it
So stand in a world that seems to be built On pillars and numbers Or dance with the hopes of falling in love Before we have learned Just to stand in a world that seems to be built On pillars and numbers Or dance with the hopes of falling in love But how can we love If we can't love ourselves Can't love ourselves
