Dead Heart

Around your head, drowned and wet

Is a ring of lights, buzzing lights

Cousin, light is not foreign

No, such is light in me tonight

I at all white and I not white

I at all white and I at not whiteBut wait I wasn't born

I wasn't born to hide

Or shy from light

I was not born to hideI got limbs all strong and slim

But there's nothing here to hold

I got limbs all made to bend

And, cousin, made to fold

But wait, I wasn't born

I wasn't born to hide

Or shy from light

I wasn't born just to dieNo I was born and I got love

And you were born and I got love

Cousin, don't you know?
