lyrics

This pit in my stomach’s an old friend
The lead in my bones just a case
The tears in my eyes are a cool drink
They wash the dirt off my face

The weight in my chest is a mantle
My fluttering heart, hummingbird
The light in my eyes is a party trick
Showing off till my vision gets blurred

Do you know, do you know what happens when weeds start to grow?
They come from the ground and then without a sound
They outshine everything that you know

My heart belongs in my stomach
My arms can cradle it there
Cause if it always stays sunken
Then I will always be spared

The fire in my heart is a crackling ember now
Waiting at last to burn out
But I’ll hold it inside, so the fire doesn’t die
And the fumes will come out of my mouth
