lyrics

I
heard your heart beat
Oscar Wilde
In your breastplate deep.
You said don’t weep,
my child.
Just get some sleep,
Because in a while

The morning sun will rise
as the grief leaves your eyes.
As fatigue leaves your eyes
As the sleep leaves your eyes.

I
watched all your dreams
the admission
was free.
Turnstile, it struck my knee
on the exit.

But my voice wouldn’t shriek
I wouldn’t let it.
My voice couldn’t speak
I would not let it.
My voice wouldn’t shriek

My face dropped
down from its smile
I feel right now
just like Oscar Wilde.

Oscar Wilde.
I’ve heard your heart beat
Now for miles
underneath the sea
in your breastplate deep.
Just out of sonar reach.
