Bleeding Mr. Heart

Spit in my face and
Trace my lines,
You know I've got
What you could not find;
Rewind
And remember the way
You blew my mind

Scorched earth, our father
Flood water, our mother
Bleeding Mr. Heart;
Killing our brother

Teaching us to be
Hard-wired
Learning to be
Heart-wired
Will there be rest for the tired?

The operator is screaming
"You're only dreaming!"
"Wake up and get back in line
Before we count to nine"

Eleven days since we've been gone
Did you say there was something wrong?
In sleep we've heard your song
But we try not to sing along

The Heart wants what it wants
These are not taunts
Just our way of saying
We're no longer paying
For a life that's been pre-purchased
