Listen, It's Gone

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

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 white and stark

As my fragile soul

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
