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
