This is the February track. I swear it was done in February--just not available until March. 28 days and all. Also, deep thanks to Josh Engen for the help on some of the lines. And to Laremy De Vries for the story about WWI soldiers chanting "We're here because we're here because we're here."

lyrics

When you talk about star dust
And how it's in all of us
The picture in my mind
Is so pretty I could cry
And when I mention Jesus Christ
I know how you roll your eyes
And if I'm telling you the truth
Most days I do it too

And you and eye
Don't see eye to eye
On loads of things
But you and me
Can both agree
That to believe in anything
Is a helluva thing

So you play the scientist
And I'll take the alchemist
You can measure what we see
And I will read the leaves
And then when the sun is set
We'll lay our bodies into beds
Our skin covering ghosts
Knows dark matter matters most

And you and eye
Don't see eye to eye
On loads of things
But you and me
Can both agree
That to believe in anything
Is a helluva thing

Of course it's never quite as easy as I think
And we both may find ourselves awake
Asking what all of this means

And it may be the voice of God
Or it may be nothing at all
The answer is the same

We're here because we're here because we're here
We're here because we're here because we're here
We're here because we're here because we're here
We're here because we're here because we're here
