Death By Numbers Lyrics - Noah & The Whale

As our rotting bodies 

Pay back the earth its love 

In a vile fleshy matter 

We'll crumble into dust 

I'll be picked up by the wind 

And blown into strangers eyes 

Defuse into their bodies 

And their tears when they cry 

'Til I have 5000 people carry me 

'Til I have 5000 people carry me 

Oscar and Lucy 

Will buy themselves a coffin 

Oh a single box of wood 

That, together, they will rot in 

And their bodies will decay 

And combine with one another 

Oh a single act of love 

Far greater than any other 

And in death they'll leave just a part of them 

Oh in death they'll leave one part of them 

Oh when I'm minerals in the soil 

I'll diffuse into a tree 

It'll have 5000 brances 

Which will have 5000 leaves 

And I'll be in every one 

Oh and when a leaf blows free 

I will land upon the earth 

And grow another tree 

'Til I have 5000 trees made of me 

'Til there are 5000 trees made of me 

When Darkness surrounds me 

Oh when darkness surrounds me 

Oh when darkness is all I can see 

When Darkness surrounds me 

Oh when darkness surrounds me 

Oh when darkness is all I can see 

When Darkness surrounds me 

Oh when darkness surrounds me 

Oh when darkness is all I can see 

When Darkness surrounds me 

Oh when darkness surrounds me 

Oh when darkness is all I can see
