Here Is a Heart

Here is a heart, here is a heart

I made it for you so take it

Battered and braised, grilled and sautéed

Just how you like it, like it

You know I live to fill you up

Blood of my blood, dripping with love

I bring you a thing you need most

Silent between supplies and machines

I hang in the corners like a ghost

You know I live to be seen through

No better way that I can see

To spend all the time while you're asleep

When holding your hands inside of mine

I wanna be here and nowhere else

Rationing off bits of myself

So I can crumble at your side

Sleep like the dead through the noise in your head

While monitors click and whirr and glow

I'm with you all day and I still would stay

Tomorrow and onward just this close

You know I live to keep you safe, oh

No better way that I can see

To spend all the time while you're asleep

When holding your hands inside of mine

I wanna be here and nowhere else

Rationing off bits of myself

So I can crumble at your side

I can't explain it but I have to try

If you evaporate, the seas will rise

'Til they devour the sky

Here is a heart, here is a heart

I made it for you so take it

Battered and braised, grilled and sautéed

Just how you like it, like it

No better way that I can see

To spend all the time while you're asleep

When holding your hands inside of mine

I wanna be here and nowhere else

Rationing off bits of myself

So I can crumble at your side
