Heavy Is My Heart

Lyrics

Intro
Cold wire in my spine
Rust in the door frame
I count the cracks
They count me back

Verse 1
I wake with a bolt in my jaw
Static in the marrow
My hands know the wall by heart
My skin is paper-thin

The mirror blinks first
Then learns my name
A clock face grinds
But it spits out knives

Pre-Chorus
Say it low
Say it clear
Something lives behind me
Something leans to hear

Chorus
Heavy is my heart
Heavy is my heart
I drag it through the dark
Heavy is my heart

Heavy is my heart
Heavy is my heart
Chain by chain, I start
Heavy is my heart

Verse 2
The machine in my chest
Keeps missing a beat
Like a locked room turning
Under my feet

I fed it fear
I fed it time
Now it hums my failures
In a perfect line

The walls breathe slow
The floor grows teeth
Every thought I hide
Turns into a leak

Pre-Chorus
Say it low
Say it clear
Something lives behind me
Something leans to hear

Chorus
Heavy is my heart
Heavy is my heart
I drag it through the dark
Heavy is my heart

Heavy is my heart
Heavy is my heart
Chain by chain, I start
Heavy is my heart

Solo
Instrumental
Whispered
One more turn
One more mile
One more mouth
In the steel inside

Breakdown
Crush it down
Crush it down
Bone to bolt
And bolt to ground

Verse 3
I wore my grief like armor
It learned my shape
Now every seam is singing
Now every lock will wake

There’s a child in the corner
With a face like mine
He points at the hole
Where my light got cut

Bridge
If I call your name
Will the dark unmake?
If I split this shell
Will the echoes break?

The room goes still
The pulse goes thin
I hear the gears
Start turning in

Chorus
Heavy is my heart
Heavy is my heart
I drag it through the dark
Heavy is my heart

Heavy is my heart
Heavy is my heart
Chain by chain, I start
Heavy is my heart

Breakdown
Drag me under
Hold me down
I was born
In the iron sound

Outro
Cold wire in my spine
Rust in the door frame
I count the cracks
They count me back

Heavy is my heart
Heavy is my heart
