Lyrics
The Heart Is A Cannibal
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
She hates you then she loves you more
Underneath the shadows of her thoughts
Shadows of her thoughts
She rings a bell for you
I wish that she was a statue made of gold
And nobody could
Bring her down
Goodness knows I just
Don't like sadness
She cries before she wakes
And so my friend
If you love her
Don't turn away
Don't fight it
Don't run away
We're people
And we are animals
You're thunder
And the heart is a cannibal
I ask you do you love me more
Than all the men that have ever come before
Ever come before
And when I'm like a storm
Kiss me, hurt me, heal me with your words
So nobody can ever
Bring me down
Goodness knows I just
Don't like sadness
Don't cry before you wake
No my friend
If you love her....
When love is gone
Your thoughts are calm
Your words are holy
Your days are long
Your blood gets colder
Your face is old
And the days flow by like water
You miss the stormy weather
And she was gold
Goodness knows I just
Don't like sadness
I cry before she wakes
So my friend
If you love her....
