Heartbeater

There’s a change in the tides soon as it hits my blood
Stuck in a cave when the water showed up,
and it sent me to the salty top,
where I felt that my heart might stop
and the door between our worlds unlocked
But I’m so delicate, my balance gets thrown
I see worlds that lie beyond our own
— some with wildernesses twice as dark
And I felt that… as the sky began to shimmer apart
Hey, I’m in love with the quickening
pace that sends my blood all over the place
I’m trying to spend my heartbeats all at once
And I heed the maddening voice (as if I ever had any
choice) that beckons, spend your heartbeats all at once
That I might beat Poseidon awake,
to drag me to the depths of the drink until I’ve had all
that I can take and the doors between our worlds bust open
Hey, I’m in love with the quickening
pace that sends my blood all over the place
I’m trying to spend my heartbeats all at once
And I heed the maddening voice (as if I ever had any
choice) that beckons, spend your heartbeats all at once
