Heathen Heart

You see there is this concept That has consumed my head And it's very same thought That has been turning me over in my bed Do you hear that unfamiliar rattle? The sound of my knees as their growing weak I'm not used to kissing the dirt It crawled in between my ribs And its chipping away at my concrete heart My worlds spinning, I've lost my bearings Give me a chance to find my footing I'm struggling to wrap my mind around this single thing How I've strained myself endlessly I've made a fool of the grindstone I've worked my fingers down to the bone To earn something that was there all along Rats are caught in traps and dogs kept on chains Thieves are apprehended, murderers put in cages Am i any better than these? Am i not one in the same? So what qualifies me to be a recipient? What do i have to offer? I'm undeserving, I'm unworthy I'm undeserving, I'm unworthy This is unjust Extrinsic What conditional creatures we are If your nature was something similar What conditional creatures we are If your nature was something similar You would have burned this bridge You would have cut the ties a long time ago You see there is this concept That has consumed my head And it's the very same thought That has been turning me over in my bed You chose to love me even though I was dead
