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
