Artificial Hearts

from Demos & Early Recordings by Shape of the Sun

/

lyrics

Every smile is a whisper under their breath
And every word is a lie
While they're staring at you like you're out of your head
But never look in your eyes

You hold your breath 'til it's over but it never is
When you're walking alone
Down the street that you lived on for so many years
But never called your home

They say when it rains, it really pours
But hell I wouldn’t know
‘Cause they’ve got a way to completely ignore
The artist and the art, the artificial hearts

It's hard to see you're a victim bound to the floor
Left to wait in the wings
Just like a marionette without anyone
There to pull on the strings

Well the seasons are changing as fast as they can
Winter's coming around
If you think that we're lost then maybe we are
But we won't be found

They say when it rains, it really pours
But how was I to know?
'Cause they got a way to completely ignore
The artist and his art, the artificial hearts

I went off like a loaded gun
I went off like a loaded, I’m the only one
Like a loaded gun
Like a loaded
Hearts explode
Am I the only one?
