Brave Saint Saturn - Heart Still Beats Lyrics
The girl in the alley kneels with exhaustionShe's guarded by the skinny guy who limps from some infectionBehind a veil of bleached thin hair her eyes tell a storyLike a photo of Berlin, December 1944She's looking for a handout, she's been high for several weeks nowShe's too far gone for whoring and the money just gave outAnd her heart still beats insideAnd the blood runs in her veinsA remnant of life remainsHer heart still beats insideThe man finally comes to the door, I've seen him several timesHe always looks pissed off and his sunglasses stay onI think he got his biceps and tattoos while in prisonAnd it doesnt seem to bother him when he says "go to hell"And his heart still beats insideThe blood runs in his veinsA remnant of life remainsHis heart still beats insideThe thought it comes to my mind, to somehow interveneBut it could bring me trouble, and what can I do anyway?It's hard to be effective when it happens so oftenTo see a life unraveling, through drawn venetian blindsI'm sickened by compassion, I'm stifled by my limitationsAnesthetic apathy, come take the pain awayAnd my heart still beats insideThe blood runs in my veinsA remnant of life remainsAnd my heart still beats insideOh God, we need you hereWe're sinking fast and we dont careThe evidence is all around me, on both sides of my doorOur hearts beat
