Heart Still Beats (The Light Of Things Hoped For Album Version) - Brave Saint Saturn[00:00:00]
The girl in the alley kneels with exhaustion[00:00:18]
She's guarded by the skinny guy[00:00:23]
Who limps from some infection[00:00:26]
Behind a veil of bleached thin hair her eyes tell a story[00:00:30]
Like a photo of Berlin December 1944[00:00:36]
She's looking for a handout;[00:00:42]
She's been high for several weeks now[00:00:45]
She's too far gone for whoring [00:00:48]
And the money just gave out[00:00:51]
And her heart still beats inside[00:00:54]
And the blood runs in her veins[00:01:00]
A remanent of life remains[00:01:06]
And her heart still beats inside[00:01:12]
The man finally comes to the door;[00:01:26]
I've seen him several times[00:01:29]
He always looks pissed off [00:01:31]
And his sunglasses stay on[00:01:34]
I think he got his biceps and tattoos while in prison[00:01:37]
And it doesn't seem to bother him when he says[00:01:43]
"Go to hell"[00:01:48]
And his heart still beats inside[00:01:50]
And the blood runs in his veins[00:01:55]
A remanent of life remains[00:02:02]
And his heart still beats inside[00:02:07]
The thought it comes to my mind [00:02:21]
To somehow intervene[00:02:24]
But it could bring me trouble [00:02:26]
And what could I do anyway [00:02:29]
It's hard to be affected when it happens so often:[00:02:33]
To see a life unraveling through drawn venetian blinds[00:02:38]
I'm sickened by compassion [00:02:45]
I'm stifled by my limitations[00:02:48]
Anesthetic apathy take the pain away[00:02:51]
And my heart still beats inside[00:02:58]
And the blood runs in my veins[00:03:04]
A remanent of life remains[00:03:11]
And my heart still beats inside[00:03:17]
Oh God we need you here[00:03:23]
We're sinking fast and we don't care[00:03:29]
The evidence is all around me[00:03:35]
On both sides of my door[00:03:41]
Our hearts beat[00:03:46]
Our hearts beat[00:03:53]
Our hearts beat[00:03:59]
Our hearts beat[00:04:05]
