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 whittled 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....
