lyrics

Someone else's heart


He's got someone else's heart inside of him, he can't remember so well just how it got in
some poor soul with no more use for it was kind enough to hand it over
and with this brand new organ sealed tight in his chest all the wise men there agreed that he would have to rest
after all it's a delicate procedure a young boy with a brand new heart to master

Inside this child a war is stirring and all across his lungs the enemy hurries
side stepping the guards all lost in slumber
when outside shadows worry worn out numbers

He's got someone else's hand wrapped around his
he's been lying there too long in someone else's bed
they remove the tubes that help him breathe
he coughs lightly, they've missed something they should have seen
an infection grows angry in his chest
multiplying quickly desroys all of his defense
he's weak now from constant attack, wise men worry and pray that he might fight back

Inside this child a war is raging, and all his body guards are so slow waking
traitors throats are filled with songs of treason
and outside shadows beg him not to leave them alone

but our brave little soldier, he dreams up a fever, and he burns all his enemies and sings out loud for life

he's still got someone else's heart inside of him, he can't remember just how it got in
