the literal heart

i could be so much stronger than i am right now

with broader shoulders and a sturdy frame

but that would cost me time and change

that i might not be willing to make

it's gonna take every drop of young blood i've got

so hold on and stop and settle down

i want to sit still and empty

i want to learn the hollow route

a lonely piece of mountain

i want to sit and shut my mouth

but i'll be damned

i'd rather sleep

the gardens soft

my skin is weak

it's gonna take every drop of young blood i've got

so hold on and stop and settle down

settle down

settle down

settle down
