Been having trouble staying asleep 
You've been waking up at 4:12 
You roll the voices over in your head 
Then you try to put them neatly on the shelf
You watch the sun rise
You saw the darkness, had no choice before the dawn 
With your own eyes 
And then you broke out laughing from a yawn

You said
I'm so sorry I've been so down, I
I started doubting things could ever turn around
And I began to believe that all we are is material
It's nonsensical, yes it is

So you walk outside and everything's new 
You're looking at the world with new eyes
As if you'd never seen a sky before this blue
As if you've never seen the sky in your whole life 
And then the phone rings 
As it turns out, you're already late 
And now you're wondering 
Was peace just a temporary state

You're waiting tables and parking cars
You've been selling cell phones at the shopping mall 
And you began to believe that all you are is material 
It's nonsensical

Yeah, oh
I'm so sorry I've been so down
I started doubting things could ever turn around
But I still can't believe that all we are
And that all of are dreams
Are nothing more than material
Souls aren't built of stone
And sticks and bones, oh
And souls aren't built of stone
Sticks and bones and 
Souls aren't built of stone
Souls aren't built of stone
Sticks and bones and
Souls aren't built of stone
Souls aren't built of stone
Sticks and bones and
Souls aren't built of stone
Souls aren't built of stone
Sticks and bones and
Souls aren't built of stone
Souls aren't built of stone
Sticks and bones and
Souls aren't built of stone
Souls aren't built of stone
Sticks and bones and 
Souls aren't built of stone
Souls aren't built of stone
Sticks and bones and
Souls aren't built of stone
Souls aren't built of stone
Sticks and bones and
Souls aren't built of stone
Souls aren't built of stone
Sticks and bones and
Souls aren't built of stone
