Cardiologist

(álbum: Of Unsound Mind - 2019)

I've diagnosed the pain, it's my open container, my open chest
You're no cardiologist, but you know the risks of talking like this
And I've heard the flat line, the solemn song of your monotone
I think we'll need to treat it, but we'll need to see an EKG

You can't just cauterize
The strongest lines, a slow-drip IV of ties that bind
You can't just cauterize
The strongest lines, a slow-drip IV of ties that bind

And I've opened the veins of the smartest men who know the "operation"
And I live very gently, in my quiet world I'm kind, I'm just thinking all the time
And I've got a bad heart, it's the best one I could find, but it runs ahead of time
And I've heard my loneliness ring out like machine trills in the passenger seat of your car

You can't just cauterize
The strongest lines, a slow-drip IV of ties that bind
You can't just cauterize
The strongest lines, a slow-drip IV of ties that bind
You can't just cauterize
The strongest lines, a slow-drip IV of ties that bind
