Even the Blackest Heart Still Beats

Waking up drunk as the sea shouts harder
try to wake me up, but there's nothing left to say
I said it all in a distant memory
Image of a boy with an absent father
Who would've believed it would take its toll on me
The payback is never ending
If your mind's made up
Can it ever change
A vicious circle
A halo around the head
Congratulations, it seems you've won again
But maybe this time you'll learn
It doesn't change a thing
If it's war you seek
Then seek no more than me
But even the blackest heart still beats
Starving for a place to conceal this murder
Driving just to stay awake with the broken radio
The voices come again to soothe me
Crashing in the rain of a wasted summer
Ever since the clouds derailed all my makeshift confidence
What a brief unhappy life
If your mind's made up
Can it ever change
A vicious circle
A halo around the head
Congratulations, it seems you've won again
But maybe this time you'll learn
It doesn't change a thing
If it's war you seek
Then seek no more than me
But even the blackest heart still beats
I can handle life's discomforts
Confidence and all is understood
You're gonna grow up one day
So, light the wick and burn the candle
Falling over, catching flame to me
And everyone I've known to ashes
Congratulations
You finally won today
Maybe this time you'll learn
You're on your own
Congratulations, it seems you've won again
But maybe this time you'll learn
It doesn't change a thing
If it's war you seek
Then seek no more than me
But even the blackest heart still beats
Yeah, even the blackest heart still beats.
