02.The Sum of Chains

from After I Died, I've Never Felt So Alive by Bashful Hips

	/

lyrics

What it means and what it takes,
Could completely be two different things,
And what if they don’t intersect at the same place

Well I think it starts at the sums

Well does that leave you and me even in the same space?
Or does that mean we’d have to change our characters day to day?

Well you know I’d change
Well you know I’d change…

I’d change the math of the chains that enslave us,
I’d change the math of the chains that enslave us

Well man, that’s a lot to think on,
As I split the page with my thumb,
I stared so long at the questions
That the answers seemed dumb,
And these dreams are a lesson not to get lost in my thoughts,

Well think it starts at the sums

I want to divide your long division into poems and songs,
I want to add and subtract our energies to the feeling of a touch of a palm
And we got ideas on what we could become,
On what we could become…

Well you know I’d change
Well you know I’d change…

It’s strange that chains stay the same,
But there what change us
