Breathe in, breathe in
hold the breath of the wicked sin
slowly savor the smoke of the lost
let the effects of this terrible cost
persuade your ghost into giving in

Breathe out, breathe out
exhale the destruction of your doubt
hissing the song of your failure
as smoke escapes in a disgraced aura
to blind yourself down this perilous route

Apple, oh Apple
Whatever shall I do?
All I wanted was a taste
But apparently, the worm did too....

There is a sailboat out at sea
empty and lifeless
as lonesome as can be

     You can blow hard, but you'll fail
     as you make no progress here
     pressing against this furled sail

          Waves of the waters, Wind, I surmise
          you're waiting and hoping
          to watch it capsize

I was given a new heart tonight
trying something new
I've had so many hearts in one life
I'm hoping this next one will do

I was born with a heart of crystal
so innocent, so pure
until one day it slipped and fell
and shattered upon the floor

So I was given a heart of plastic
one that wouldn't break
but I met that adolescent heartthrob
who's fire melted my heart away

After heartache's call came my heart of granite
it's fireproof after all
until it chipped and cracked and started to split
when adult life came to call

I bought myself a heart of diamonds
so sharp, so strong
was gonna cut my way through this life
but I cut till all was nigh gone

Depression brought me a gift, a heart of stone
heavy and cold, it felt fake
I kicked that heart while I walked along
until I ran into a lake

I skipped my heart across the lake, but I should'a known
your love ran too wide
and your touch ran too deep to skip this stone
And now that is why

I was given a new heart tonight
I'm hoping this one will do
Its soft and comfortable and feels alright
Because it was given by you
