I wrote this song years ago and it was always on my list to rework. It seemed to fit with the new songs on the current album, so I figured the time was right.
lyrics
With a lethargic heart its getting much colder in here
Pound my lethargic heart
It feels so much older it won’t start
I can’t when my skeleton
tries to crawl out from under my skin
Sometimes it feels like I’ll never, ever win.
And it feels like a million times just now
Or it fells like a trillion hours just passed
Over me, and through me, off of me
I’m so uncomfortable kill me
Reach into my chest a second time
Take my heart it cant be called a crime
Just rip, and pull, and tear it out
It’s almost dead it’s all burned out
Rip it out – it’s almost dead its euthanasia
With my aging heart I’m almost saddened by you
but I’ll remember the time when I was much younger
and I had never been shaken then
and I can’t forget all those many, many times
because of you I plugged into so many machines
With a congested heart its just too hard to see clear
With these thickened veins
I’ll sit and smoke and wonder how it still works
And if I think of you I can hear this old heart sputter though
Sometimes it feels like I’ll never, ever, ever forgive you
