Black Heart Inertia Lyrics
Walking alone tonight
‘Cause I’ve only got room for two.
Me and my burdened black heart,
It’s all we know how to do.
Yet I look for a bigger bang
Than the kind I continually see.
Sick of all this inertia,
Oh, won’t you mend me?
Lover, can you help me?
I’m a child lost in the woods.
A black heart pollutes me
And I think…
You’re a mountain that I’d like to climb,
Not to conquer, but to share in the view.
Pulled by a false inertia,
Pushed out by circumstance.
Pistol firing at my feet
That’s coercing me to dance.
Yet I look for a bigger bang
Than the kind I’m sorry to know.
Here I am, first foot of the climb.
Watch me go.
Lover, can you help me?
I’m a child lost in the woods.
A lit path eludes me
And I think…
You’re a mountain that I’d like to climb,
Not to conquer, but to share in the view.
You’re a bonfire and I’m gathered ’round you.
Set this old black heart inertia aflame.
Send it away… (8X)
You’re a mountain that I’d like to climb,
Not to conquer, but to share in the view.
You’re a bonfire and I’m gathered ’round you.
Set this old black heart inertia aflame.
Set it aflame, send it away… (6X)
