i'm waiting for your heartbeat to begin its rhythm
i'm in awe - in shock - of who you've become
i couldn't be more proud of what you've done
so brace yourself; this is gonna hurt
this world doesn't care if you bleed
and you'll die alone like all the rest
so i wait for your heartbeat
to begin again
your eloquence is staggering in light of these events
you overcomplicated everything and you hold yourself back
so brace yourself; this is gonna hurt
they can't wait to watch you as you bleed
and you'll die alone like all the rest
i blindly embrace your heartbeat to try to get it
to begin again
