heartbeat

I see the lines in the palm of its hand now

I listen hard but no words spring to mind

And it sounds so sweet, listen to its heartbeat

And I'm drowning in its sea

Falling at its feet

Listen to my heartbeat baby

And the blood sail leaves tonight

Fated in its blindness

And it won't be long before help is at hand

And the darkness sleeps

Cushioning the heartbeat

And I killed the captain, sank the fleet

To liberate the heartbeat baby

And it sounds so sweet

And it sounds so sweet

Listen to our hearts beat

And the darkness sleeps

Cushioning the heartbeat

And I'm drowning in its sea

Falling at its feet

Listen to my heartbeat baby

It speaks to ghosts and souls alike

Springs to life, and doesn't think twice

Wrapped in the blood sail

Bathed in snow

Nailed to the source and it won't let go

Fed on the bible, grown from trees

It opened the mind and the heart was free

A home in the silence, safe from sound

Where trouble sleeps and the light is found.
