lyrics

Woke up next to my sleeping self
If she was breathing I could not tell
The heart removed its claims with a few incisions
Though I didn't have a say in this decision

The heart wants what the heart wants and the heart wants to be free
To be free from words and analogies
To be free from feeling anything
Just a mechanical pump in a living being

The heart will try to do what it is not able
Yet there it is sitting at the kitchen table
Writing resignation with a hurried postscript
"Please don't bother calling 'til the rest of you's fixed"
