lyrics

She said my heart is too heavy,
my heart is too full,
feeling like it's gonna bust
through my chest like the alien
in that aptly named movie.
And I know it's still moving
cause I can count the beats
blood pulsing through soft warm hands.
And I demand that you open your eyes
Cause I know you're alive
I've felt; you're warm inside.
And i'm knocking on your cold exterior.

My heart's an open book
and yours seems to be an open wrist.
My throat is burning from the fire I hold inside of it.
And my wax lungs
are melting like the snow
and rightfully so
there's heat to certain words
and there's a weight to certain hearts,
sometimes hidden from the start
you can never see no matter how far
you pull the ventricles apart.

Night time encompass me,
inclose me, and hide me from all those that encroach upon me.
Oh become me intertwined in my soul
with fish hooks and knotted soda rings.
Cause you know what death bring;
an end to all life long dreams,
but a promise of what yet we could not been.

So if my heart grows
like a weed between the stones
I'll..
I'll cut it down and fill in the cracks so
no one knows.
So if your heart is heavy cut it out
and replace it with things you can't do without.
And scream out
My name is distance and I don't need anyone
My name is salary and I don't need to have fun
My name is validation and I'm not ready to face yet what would really make happy.

So this is what I'm meant to be
till darkness oh death pierce me.
She said her heart was too heavy,
I said if you cut it out
you might float away from me.
Come on everyone cut your hearts out
you'll see
When we are weightless and happy
and free
and free
and free
Oh, be free.

I feel my feet heavy on the ground
I'm scared I'm not ever coming down.

I feel my feet heavy on the ground
I'm scared I'm not ever coming down.

Feel my heart heavy in my chest
I'm so scared it's not ever coming out.
