Just this time I ask, please, do it slowly
Don't leave this cardboard here in my soul
Remember I'm the meek and the lowly

Don't leave it crumbling here in my soul
Oh
Listen, it's gone

Oh
Listen, it's gone
Just this time I ask, please, speak it softly

Don't wake the ghosts here in my soul
For now I hear the coming of silence
As stark and white as my fragile soul

Oh
Listen, it's gone
Oh

Listen, it's gone
Oh
Listen, it's gone

Oh
Listen, it's gone
Just for now I ask, drop it forever

Don't leave it wandering here in my soul
Remember I'm the meek and the lowly
Don't leave this cardboard here in my soul
