VITA VERSUS LYRICS

"Cardiac Atrophy"

At least I tried
She doesn't want the help
She lost herself
In a bottle of cheap wine
Looking for a good time
Mind you
She was confined to
A twisted state of mind
Why do you try to
Push any one away
Who gave a damn about you anyway
Self destruction is in your nature
Yet anyone who calls you out
Is labeled a hater
Don't think that this is over

[Chorus:]
My feet have carried me this far
But I'm crippled by the weight
Of a heavy heart
And now I'm slipping away
Slipping away

Bleak expressions and outward offenses
Shake the notion
That you're defenseless
Don't ever say
That you didn't intend to offend
A gaze like venom
Corrupting weak hearts of men
Was I looking for trouble
Or am I the victim
All I know is I'm happy
That you're out of my system
Confronted by the fault
Enthralled by the fear
Jealous is an ugly color
But it flatters you my dear

And at the end of this catastrophe
I'm praying
That it's not the end of me
I thought
That we could make this right

If you could then you would
But you can't so you won't
Now you remain a slave
To a clockwork throne
To find a place to call my own

[Chorus:]
My feet have carried me this far
But I'm crippled by the weight
Of a heavy heart
And now I'm slipping away
Slipping away

Silence hangs heavy
On the stale air you breathe
A statuesque vision
Of every wasted opportunity

Once framed with poise
Now just another empty hollow husk
In a way I suppose it's fitting
I always knew you'd be the death of us

But I won't let you be the death of me

[Chorus:]
My feet have carried me this far
But I'm crippled by the weight
Of a heavy heart
