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
