My Black Heart

A woman, a ruined heart and enough darkness to fill a cathedral.

Physical release

Lyrics

Verse 1

I don't know where I'm going
I don't care if the sun don't shine again
Only know that I'm drowning
Beneath the waves in a storm that never ends

Verse 2

I don't know what to live for
Struggle for every worthless breath I take
The miz-ery that surrounds me
Forever causes my curse-ed heart to break

Chorus

My black heart, my black heart is torn in two
My black heart, my black heart is torn in two
My black heart, my black heart is torn in two
My black heart, my black heart

Verse 3

I can tell what you're [sarcastic] "thinking!"
But the truth is you just don't have a clue!
This isn't only a [sarcastic] "problem!"
This is something I'm [sarcastic] "dyin!" to get through

Verse 4

I can't escape from this nightmare?
The ghosts of the past keep haunting me
They take me into the darkness
Don't you see this is not how I want it to be

Chorus

My black heart, my black heart is torn in two
My black heart, my black heart is torn in two
My black heart, my black heart is torn in two
My black heart, my black heart

Instrumental

Bridge

As the spiral spins around
It drags me further down
And the shadows fold around
In the place where I am found

Verse 5

Tried to kill this addiction
But I can't kill the truth I try to hide
And I don't have a reason
To fix all the pieces broke inside

Verse 6

Is anybody still list'ning?
Did anybody hear anything I said?
Is that a voice in the chaos?
Or the screams of the beast inside my head!?

Chorus

My black heart, my black heart is torn in two
My black heart, my black heart is torn in two
My black heart, my black heart is torn in two
My black heart, my black heart
