Heart Is Cement

(album: Topograph - 2016)

Took me to the edge and you made me listen
Said your heart is cement
And it's time for separate ways
I asked what you meant and you turned in pity
Drank the view out west
Like you had nothing more to say
I am suffocating up here, oh
The air is so thin

Don't you dare tell me that you never felt anything

Every shaky breath so close
Every touch of mine you stole
You cast it out
And now my heart is cement
Every secret that you know
Every time you took your toll
You pushed me out
And now my heart is cement

Made me choke in clay and sand
Patched me in so tight
So much more than I could stand
Trying to be as warm-blooded as I can
Was it all too much?
My heart was soft to touch

Every shaky breath so close
Every touch of mine you stole
You cast it out
And now my heart is cement
Every secret that you know
Every time you took your toll
You pushed me out
And now my heart is cement

So heavy when you filled me in, yeah
I sunk like a stone in the deep end
Don't you dare tell me that you never felt anything

Every shaky breath so close
Every touch of mine you stole
You cast it out
And now my heart is cement
Every secret that you know
Every time you took your toll
You pushed me out
And now my heart is cement
