ABOUT THE SONG:
"Tin Heart" anthemizes our fallen abject rage at the Creator with revelatory sorrow that we have no one to forgive but ourselves, for we are the divine hiding in our own flesh.
LYRICS:
Form is the first division, the morning after's news.
God gave light and then the darkness came in crashing too.
The reason being: we chose this blood and juice
cuz it's no fun to dine alone,
and dine on what, and what's the use?
We know no better.
We tie on our blinds and fetters,
and curse the weather.
We are lost in pursuit...
Form is a form of cutting.
God gets off on self-abuse,
and every broken-hearted love song is a bomb
at the end of an automatic fuse,
an empty tracing of a bruise.
But we know no better.
We tie on our blinds and fetters,
and curse the weather.
We are lost in pursuit...
