A rusty cage conceals me Deep beneath the waves, of another passing day The blood inside my veins Is laced with warmth, that erodes away the pain The needle scratches vinyl As the pills provide the music, singing sorrow in my brain Lost on the lamb Searching for the touch, from my own callused hands A wind-up ballerina in her box Doesn’t spin and twirl like she wants Damaged dancer Standing still, inside my antique heart

Antique Heart
A rusty cage conceals me Deep beneath the waves, of another passing day The blood inside my veins Is laced with warmth, that erodes away the pain The needle scratches vinyl As the pills provide the music, singing sorrow in my brain Lost on the lamb Searching for the touch, from my own callused hands A wind-up ballerina in her box Doesn’t spin and twirl like she wants Damaged dancer Standing still, inside my antique heart
