I don't enjoy swallowing life through a bottle How the poison makes all of my memories hollow And how my throat moves in sync with my body In a crowd I'm composed; my life's a dichotomy
Still my heart, my heart Is burning through darkness for you Still my lungs, my lungs Respire for no one, but you
When I close my eyes I can hear the city There's no miracle or medicine for self-pity I imagine you standing in white in the middle I don't blame you for leaving; you did what you had to
And all of the while everything's still in motion The working class learning that life's just a bargain While the rich men conspire plans to reach heaven You stand there so pretty, why won't this last forever? You did what you had to; you did what you had to
Still my heart, my heart Is burning through darkness for you Still my lungs, my lungs Respire for no one, but you
Still my heart, my heart Is burning through darkness for you Still my lungs, my lungs Respire for no one, but you
