lyrics

THE WOODEN HEART

Do you feel like a stranger in your own skin?
When you knock no-one answers - there’s nobody in
There’s a lifetime of yearning and filling the hole
There are too many bodies and not enough soul

The wooden heart beats so still
Can’t swell in love or burn in pride
Just hates ‘til sun and moon collide
The wooden heart speaks only ill
The wooden heart beats so still

It’s quick to burn in anger’s flame
When the fire burns out only ashes remain
Let it burn to a cinder in unstoppable rage
‘til the blackened old rock can’t remember the flames
And the burning of hatred becomes the stinging of shame

The wooden heart beats so still
Can’t swell in love or burn in pride
Just hates ‘til sun and moon collide
The wooden heart speaks only ill
The wooden heart beats so still
