Subtract Until It’s Audible (Remix)

[Verse 1] We built the hand That builds the house Then fed it hearts And asked for maps It prints out shapes Of things we ache for Little bright boxes We climb inside [Chorus] But the outputs are not the thing They’re just mirrors catching wings We live in the glow and call it life Like it’s everything Somewhere under all this sound Something patient Steady Sings You don’t reach it You just Subtract until it’s audible [Verse 2] Scrolled through a lifetime Before I brushed my teeth Traded my breathing For curated heat Every new answer Another small cage Golden and clever Same old ache [Chorus] ‘Cause the outputs are not the thing Just reflections on a screen We live in the scroll and call it real Like it’s everything Somewhere under all this noise Something simple Ancient Rings You don’t build it You just Subtract until it’s audible [Bridge] Take one thought off Then one more word Turn down the wanting To almost unheard Lose the script The clever spin What’s left humming Has always been [Chorus] The outputs are not the thing Let them flicker Let them thin We live in the hush and start to feel The actual living Somewhere under all we’ve made Quiet Bare And echoing You don’t make it You just Subtract until it’s audible (just subtract) Until it’s audible
