My knees quake violently with the urge to run so far so fast no one will even see me pass My chest constricts so that I can feel the shape of my heart and I realize it's in two pieces My breath hitches in my choking throat because the sobs won't fit because they are too big . . . I've finally come to the conclusion that the human body is simply too small to hold the soul And that's why we die.

Conviction
My knees quake violently with the urge to run so far so fast no one will even see me pass My chest constricts so that I can feel the shape of my heart and I realize it's in two pieces My breath hitches in my choking throat because the sobs won't fit because they are too big . . . I've finally come to the conclusion that the human body is simply too small to hold the soul And that's why we die.
