Corroding Heart

I got some bite marks right on an artery

I thought that maybe it'd be better

Guess I was a bit naive

What started as something that I could ignore

Began to erode at my very core

This oxidized pulse beating out of my chest

It signals to warn of what time is left

Now I can feel the toxins taking over me

No, I can't go back to the man I used to be

So make it quick, just make it easy

Cut the wound off to stop it from spreading

I want to live, I want to be free

From this broken heart corroding me

Y'know, a couple months ago

I had no clue I could yell like that, Mm

It took a couple years or so

All the roses and thorns fade away to ash

Oh doctor, oh doctor, something isn't right

This face in the mirror is quite a fright

With scattering glass falling down from above

Do you recognize the man I've become?

Now I can feel the toxins taking over me

I'll cast the memories beneath the ocean deep

So make it quick

Make it easy

I want to live

I want to be free

So make it quick, just make it easy

Cut the wound off to stop it from spreading

I want to live, I want to be free

From this broken heart corroding me

With it all said and done

I turn my face to the sun
