lyrics

A stilted sort of candor-lit dinner
Culminates in
A fistful of finger food in your face

A black eye takes such a shining
On par with a run of the course

The food on your plate
On you it will wait
A puerilist
A pugilist dunce
My gloves are off with a string that runs ‘round my back

It won’t let me lose this comfort

A snarl that is worse than its bark
A treasonous one that tallies the tab and dashes away

Fine
A tip of the hat
I’m put in my place

It won’t let me lose this comfort

Warm as it throbs
Pulsing thoughts

My beaten heart
My beaten heart
My beaten heart
My beaten heart

My beaten heart won’t take it anymore
