Black Heart Inertia

  • Walking alone tonight
    'Cause I've only got room for two
    Me and my burdened black heart
    It's all we know how to do
    Yet I look for a bigger bang
    Than the kind I continually see
    Sick of all this inertia
    I want a human being

    Lover, can you help me?
    I'm a child lost in the woods
    A black heart pollutes me
    And I think

    You're a mountain that I'd like to climb
    Not to conquer, but to share in the view

    Pulled by a false inertia
    Pushed out by circumstance
    Pistol firing at my feet
    That's coercing me to dance
    Yet I look for a bigger bang
    Than the kind I'm sorry to know
    Here I am, first foot of the climb
    Watch me go

    Lover, can you help me?
    I'm a child lost in the woods
    A lit path eludes me
    And I think

    You're a mountain that I'd like to climb
    Not to conquer, but to share in the view
    You're a bonfire and I'm gathered 'round you
    Set this old black heart inertia aflame
    Send it away
    Send it away
    Send it away
    Send it away
    Send it away (send it away)
    Send it away (send it away)
    Send it away (send it away)
    Send it away (send it away)

    You're a mountain that I'd like to climb
    Not to conquer, but to share in the view
    You're a bonfire and I'm gathered 'round you
    Set this old black heart inertia aflame

    Set it aflame, send it away
    Set it aflame, send it away
    Set it aflame, send it away
    Set it aflame, send it away
    Set it aflame, send it away
    Set it aflame, send it away
    Set it aflame, send it away
    Set it aflame, send it away
    Set it aflame, send it away
    Set it aflame, send it away Writer/s: Benjamin Lee Kenney, Brandon Charles Boyd, Christopher E Kilmore, Jose Anthony Ii Pasillas, Michael Aaron Einziger
