lyrics

you were reading numbers in the dark
to trick your brain and plant a seed
so much of life lost to sleep
i'd like to see your integer dreams

sometimes i wonder if your mind
has a row for human faces
in all the shelves of formulas
the hidden jars of your emotions

isaac, oh isaac
what are we doing?
we laid in your orchard
now you're burning its trees

isaac, oh isaac
i've never heard god
isaac, oh isaac
let me be your ram

oh isaac don't you know
your book'll be read aeons from now
remembered for your genius
not as the little lamb who lived

have you seen an axe of gold?
have you tread your mother's basement?
do you believe in heaven?
is that why your body scares you?

isaac, oh isaac
don't worry about your brother
he never was born
he never suffered

isaac, oh isaac
i had a dream
of you and i and no one else
rewriting this world's laws
