Why can't you just forget about algebra
it's all about you now
And all your talk of logic and formula
could never help you now
(not any more)
'Cause you were always
on the run
from the darkness in your heart
so you wear it
on the outside of your chest
I have taken liberty
to tell your ghost to go
bribing them with sunlight and sympathy
they've promised not to show
(for a while)
'Cause you were always
the little boy
who couldn't keep it to yourself
so your heart
is on the outside of your chest
At the speed of light
you moved inside my home
nothing is alright
if you're still alone
And your heart
is greater than
the sum of you and everyone
but still you're always on the run
from the poison in your lungs
and your heart is on the outside
of your chest.
