Circles into Squares (Bonus Track)

So you're gonna go back again You might wanna start over You just leave your clothes Follow the undertows I won't carry the cross again I'd rather run in the open We won't lock the door I wouldn't know what for Turning circles into squares To make them round again Are you listening, is somebody there? See what I've found again Can we sleep sound again 'Cause in the corner the lies add up They aren't hard to get used to Show us your beating heart And throw us off our guard You start out as a scientist Then you end up a soldier Or when you play it safe You'll be a happy slave And you're counting your loves, and your're counting the steps Of the stairs and your counting the stains on the wall Counting the wonders of science and god And you're counting the years and the tears Turning circles into squares One day we'll get it right I've watched my friends fall up the stairs But when they do drop by They just sit down and sigh And you're counting the words and the coins in your cup And the thoughts and the tools You're counting the leaves on the trees in the yard And the castaway rules Then you're counting your loves and you're counting the steps Of the stairs and your counting the stains on the wall Counting the wonders of science and god And you're counting the years and your peers Turning circles into squares It's almost alchemy Are you listening, is somebody there? And what's with gravity? We're turning circles into squares We're gathering around the ark While our friends fall up the stairs We're swapping question marks As the stage goes dark
