lyrics

Everybody’s got a hungry heart
But nobody ever knows when it’ll start
I can take what you send my way
But this deep black hole will make an Atheist pray
And I don’t want to realize
That my own blood won’t sympathize
I’ve had a hundred or more consultations
I can’t get closer to an explanation

I’ve got a poison condition
This stabbing in my head
I’ve got an open infection
I could be dead

Everybody’s got the will to take
But nobody knows quite where it’ll break
And I can see what I mean to them
A handshake, a buck, and a “hey, good luck”

Charm and beauty
And simple joys
I can’t feel it
I don’t know why

Stolen evenings laced with doubt
Because my own body won’t help me out
And where’re the magical medications
To deal with these vanishing expectations

I’ve got a poison condition
This stabbing in my head
I’ve got an open infection
I could be dead

And everybody should know…

Charm and beauty
And simple joys
I can feel them getting further
Caring voices
All turned to noise
I can’t feel them
I don’t know why

I’ve got a poison condition
This stabbing in my head
I’ve got an open infection
I could be dead

I’ve got a poison condition
I could be dead
