I never meant this safe space of mine to wear me down

I painted a million heartless faces not knowing mine

Unaware, anywhere in between, but never there

Everybody knows who is the heir of all their rotten roses

If someone could teach me how to feel

I’d claim the names in my heartlines

If somehow dark matter disappeared

Then so would I with my hurt lines

With clean hands over turbid thoughts

I never thought I’d feel safe far from my dungeon mind

Here 'tween the cracks of my hypocrisy, clearly blind

Unaware, anywhere in between, but never there

Don’t nobody show who was the source of all their burning burdens

If someone could teach me how to feel

I’d claim the names in my heartlines

If somehow dark matter disappeared

Then so would I with my hurt lines

With clean hands over turbid thoughts

Flashes of intermittent clarity

My unconsciousness unfolds

We, we all vex ourselves, it’s how we live

Punishing each other, oh

Heaven’s not meant for me, meant for me, meant for me

(Rip my hands, take my eyes and fill my heart)

Heaven’s not meant for me, meant for me, meant for me

If someone could teach me how to feel

I’d claim the names in my heartlines

If somehow dark matter disappeared

Then so would I with my hurt lines

With clean hands over turbid thoughts
