Here is A Heart

here is a heart. here is a heart

i made it for you, so take it

battered and braised

grilled and saut?

just how you like it, like it

you know i live to fill you up

blood of my blood,

dripping with love

i bring you a thing

you need most

silent between

supplies and machines

i hang in the corners like a ghost

you know i live to be seen through

no better way that i can see

to spend all the time

while you're asleep

when holding your hands

inside of mine, mmmm

i wanna be here and nowhere else

rationing off bits of myself

so i can crumble at your side

sleep like the dead

through the noise in your head

while monitors click

and whirr and glow

i'm with you all day

and i still would stay

tomorrow and onward

just this close

you know i live to keep you safe, oh

no better way that i can see

to spend all the time

while you're asleep

when holding your hands

inside of mine

i wanna be here and nowhere else

rationing off bits of myself

so i can crumble at your side

i can't explain it

but i have to try

if you evaporate

the seas will rise

'til they devour the sky

here is a heart. here is a heart

i made it for you, so take it

battered and braised

grilled and saut?

just how you like it, like it

no better way that i can see

to spend all the time

while you're asleep

when holding your hands

inside of mine

i wanna be here and nowhere else

rationing off bits of myself

so i can crumble at your side
