Track 7 from my 10 track album, Heosphoros to Holy Death, pending release (currently only up on Bandcamp). Written, sung and produced by me. It's a standout track on the album for me as it's the most personally symbolic and meaningful. It also has the feel to me of a Gothic romance like Wuthering Heights plus a tone of vampirism.
I thought I had done well of putting my heart up
Ripping it out, cutting it off my sleeve
I buried pieces of it deep
Jarred some of it high
Fed it to the lions and the tigers as sacrifice, sacrifice
And burnt it in the fireplace every night
To keep me warm
To keep the thieves away
Satiate the hungering
To not hurt again but it’s constant, rejecting
The phantom of my heart knocking endlessly
A stake through me begging please, put me out of misery
Cut finely, thinking logically
Elusive so much so lost it
The moon made it bloom
And Neptune made it vapor
Venus made it stranger
Cast off to wash up whole again
Regenerating
I filled every chamber in concrete
Shattered to a thousand pieces
Hung to dry, hid it under the leaves
Froze it in ice to stop the bleeding
Oh, stop the bleeding
I don’t regret a thing
Alone but not lonely
Nothing else seems right for me
Nothing satiates the hungering
To not hurt again but it’s constant, rejecting
The phantom of my heart knocking endlessly
A stake through me begging please, put me out of misery
