I Am A Heart, Watson. The Rest Of Me Is Mere Appendix Lyrics - Singles - Forgive Durden

Splintered soles and cracked rungs 

Soaking flames and black lungs 

Climbing only brings me closer to drowning 

Effort only speeds burning embers to rain down 

This ocean's waves crash up 

Against the varnished sides of the hull 

Whose walls securely insulate 

My heart from the swells 

But these, these tides persist 

Rust grows by the inch 

Corrosion turns to decay 

This ship's tired and old 

Can't take much more of the cold 

Before it breaks like glass 

I've been drawn and quartered 

My limbs anchored to spirited steeds 

Who tear with opposite speeds 

I've had my turn, I've crashed, I've burned 

Through catastrophe 

It's been right here in front of me 

This is of epic proportions 

The essence of enlightenment 

This is a divination which I alone am privy to 

My fears have been suffocated by vindication 

My vessel's bow has detected 

Your beacons along the shore 

I've been drawn and quartered 

My limbs anchored to spirited steeds 

Who tear with opposite speeds 

I've had my turn, I've crashed, I've burned 

Through catastrophe 

It's been right here in front of me 

So I will grab my pale 

And drag my shovel across the ground 

But I'm not striding coasts 

Building sand castles and moats 

I'm off to dig my own grave 

No service is needed, no eulogy here 

All I need's this final resting place 

So build me a tombstone 

Engrave it by hand with 

"The boy who Mishandled your heart" 

My last goodbyes are to those 

Who'll soon eat my insides 

I've been drawn and quartered 

My limbs anchored to spirited steeds 

Who tear with opposite speeds 

I've had my turn, I've crashed, I've burned 

Through catastrophe 

You've been right here in front of me
