He strugglin .
Always had heart problems, from just being a kid.
Physically ill.
This thing beat for two, repeating each echo.
Growin over sized to fit the world.
This thing beating itself for it's compensation .
Telling one's self it's going strong, while the doctors say he don't got long.
Everything else keeps on, physically torn apart.
But that's not the worse, emotionally his heart just gone wrong.
Getin check-ups to see the pain he knows he can't.
Find some wound they've never seen since childhood
It's a funny thing that the illness fits exactly as he is
A heart yearning for another to beat right next to him
The Heart keeps pumping. The man?
