Intro:
A minorAm
Verse:
A minorAm FF E MajorE
Cumbersome heart, far too enlarged for the cavity it's resting in now gravity is testing it.
A minorAm FF E MajorE
Strung like a harp, but always in minor keys weaving shut its openings with melodies on rusted strings
FF E MajorE A minorAm
Falling into the belly of the feast
FF E MajorE A minorAm
Crawling through the jigsaw to extract a piece
Verse:
A minorAm FF E MajorE
Cumbersome heart, rigged like a motor to chug along with energy from what the earth was borrowing
A minorAm FF E MajorE
Never quite sharp, bending its way to eternities of whetting stones which wear it down past blood and bone
FF E MajorE A minorAm
Diving into the belly of the feast
FF E MajorE A minorAm
Driving in circles of South, West, North, East
Chorus:
FF G+G E minorEm A minorAm
Bursting with blood but the arteries carry no air
FF G+G E minorEm
There’s a jam in the veins as they strain to replace what is there
E MajorE A minorAm
Growing stagnant and stale
Verse:
A minorAm FF E MajorE
Cumbersome heart, painted with brushstrokes like fingerprints and drippings down the can
A minorAm FF E MajorE
Undefined art, tripping at the borders constructed to assign to it, a label for defining it
FF E MajorE A minorAm
Melting into the belly of the feast
FF E MajorE A minorAm
Pelting effigies with hardening concrete
Chorus:
FF G+G E minorEm A minorAm
Bursting with blood but the arteries carry no air
FF G+G E minorEm
There’s a jam in the veins as they strain to replace what is there
E MajorE A minorAm
Growing stagnant and stale
