black heart inertia

walking alone tonight

'cause i've only got room for two

me and my burdened black heart

it's all we know how to do

yet i look for a bigger bang

than the kind i continually see

sick of all this inertia

i want a human being

lover

can you help me?

i'm a child lost in the woods

a black heart pollutes me

and i think

you're a mountain that i'd like to climb

not to conquer

but to share in the view

pulled by a false inertia

pushed out by circumstance

pistol firing at my feet

that's coercing me to dance

yet i look for a bigger bang

than the kind i'm sorry to know. here i am

first foot of the climb

watch me go. lover

can you help me?

i'm a child lost in the woods

a lit path eludes me

and i think

you're a mountain that i'd like to climb

not to conquer

but to share in the view

you're a bonfire and i'm gathered 'round you

set this old black heart inertia aflame

send it away

you're a mountain

that i'd like to climb

not to conquer

but to share in the view

you're a bonfire

and i'm gathered 'round you

set this old black heart inertia aflame

set it aflame

send it away
