about

lyrics

rattle in your heartbeat

her heart was like a bird
in a box
in the kingdom´s deepest well
kept apart from words
every doubt
and every whisper

i´ll lead you out of here
said the girl
locked into a silver cage
travelling to the core
you might end up
without me

here comes the tricky bit
the things you leave behind
keep floating in your ocean
fracturing the surface
like a rattle in your heartbeat

her body heat was like
a cocoon
a dry blanket in the snow
decelerating time
to a standstill

the sound of shuffling feet
from a boy
who could hardly walk
someone searching for
a lenght of rope and a ruby

here comes the tricky bit
the things you leave behind
keep floating in your ocean
fracturing the surface
like a rattle in your heartbeat
