Rattling of the Heart

I want it to rain in the morning

Stay in silent till the afternoon

I've got two coins on my eyelids

And two more I could show to you

But it's just me

That's all I could give to you

Some people wait for forgiveness

Some people won't come to terms with this

Half-told jokes interrupted by

The sounds of branches breaking

The wind rattles your heart around babe

Stretch your limbs and do your back bends

Student debt and a broken bike

You were out with 'em drinking city wides

I was on my bed alone sifting through

Trash to sell to make the rent

If you listen to the rattling of the heart now

It pumps the life into the veins, I know it's true

Together we are, together we all bend out of shape

The kids keep dancing, they wear cute and irony

If I can get through the grit of all this

Maybe I can live gratefully

I lost two grandfathers in six months

They don't leave my head much

A suicide, one with vital signs

I watch him try to wake up

If you listen to the rattling of the heart now

It pumps the life into the veins, I know it's true

Together we are, together we all bend out of shape

Some find joy wielding proof of their sadness

Have you yet found a master?

Try to find for a commonly ordered axis

Technology works, therapy tries

To provide a distraction

Medication's been tested, it might work the fastest

Sedated and tragic

Smiling black faces in monochromatic

Baby, there will be no more violent dreams
