My Heart the Liar

I’m trapped inside this hole that’s six feet under ground
The silence’s almost deafening with no one around
Feel the heart beat of the earth drum beneath my fingertips
Reviving the missing truth that lies on my cold, dead lips

But the stitches in my eyelids make me blind
And the removal of my brain has left me paralyzed

So I’ll stay where I can feel the walls are closing in
Try not to feel exposed as they rub off my skin
But the locusts tell my ears that everything’s okay
How was I to know that I’d be digging my own grave?

I’ll scream until the dirt does bleed my pain
Then I’ll bleed until my ashes fall as rain
When you’re in the dark
Only hear your heart
Beating, leading…
Never again

The world seems much safer now without my eyes
No one can come along and try to rob me blind
Only one thing’s in the way now to my brand new start
Have to remove this filthy liar that I call my heart

But you’ve glued down both my hands against my chest
And my tongue has been cut out so I can not protest

So I’ll lay here as they look down on me in my “sleep”
Never knowing just what was really happening
And I feel the traitor beating in my broken chest
Laughing ‘cause it knows I ended up just like the rest

I’ll scream until the dirt does bleed my pain
Then I’ll bleed until my ashes fall as rain
When you’re in the dark
Only hear your heart
Beating, leading…

Never again
Will I trust so aimlessly
Hold my breath and still hope to breathe
Believe just what the eye can see
I’m breaking, breaking

Won’t jump when it says to fall
Look at my hand and bet it all
Come running every time it calls
I’m screaming, screaming

I’ll scream until the dirt does bleed my pain
Then I’ll bleed until my ashes fall as rain
When you’re in the dark
Only hear your heart
Beating, leading…

Never again
