Dead Heart

from Cardea by Bitter Whiskers

/

lyrics

carries it with him, that one little dot
it never changes, no matter what
it's in the middle of his tiny little soul
it's nothing, a pixel, not even a black hole

could be a scar but then he'd care
he doesn't know that it's even there
dead heart, blank screen
i'd never hurt you, girl, 'cause you're my queen
dead heart, blank screen,
cut it out, wipe it off, make it clean

blank heart, secret bomb
keep on digging just to find he's pretty numb
no love, playing dumb, then he
gives me a little, keeps me under his thumb

oh, he can't fix what he can't feel
he isn't hurting so the problem isn't real
dead heart, blank screen
cut it out, wipe it off, make it clean
blank eyes, you're unseen, and what
he didn't say is exactly what he means

cut it out, cut it out, wipe it clean
get me out, get me out from underneath your dead heart
