lyrics

I don't believe in souls, but mine is old and it's all that I own.
So you can have my dust, take my checks and balances.
They don't amount to much.

I give up my abacus. It didn't add up.
Those spinning cubes, they just brought me to my knees.
I will give my body back to wherever it's from
you know that place that harbors everything that breathes.

And now everything that breathes is breathing into me.
And I can feel the sticks and stones, the bricks and bones,
broken phones and long drives home.
Pressed flesh and the aftermath, now show me to your loneliness.
How dare you say that we're all alone?

Because I don't believe in souls. But mine has grown so close
to those around me, I'd move a mountain to make a home.
So you can have my dust, take my checks and my balances.
They don't amount to much. No they don't amount to much.

I gave up my abacus. It didn't add up.
Those spinning cubes, they just brought me to my knees.
One day I'll give my body back to wherever it's from
you know that place that harbors everything that breathes.
