hideous heart

transfixed on a sin

it's always watching

it shivers my skin

i cannot shake from its sight

translucent and blue

shares never blinking

fueled by booze

gets me to thinking it's right

the beating is bursting my brain

punishing

pulling apart

the pounding

it drives me insane

please silence this hideous heart

the madness it grins

burns me like matches

blood running thin

haunting me day and night

shadows like hymns

from hell and ashes

calling me

calling me

'bury the evil eye'

drumming erupts in my brain

punishing

pulling apart

the pounding

it drives me insane

please silence this hideous heart
