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 white and stark as my fragile soul

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

Oh
Listen, I
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
