A Wound In The Heart - Nicholas Teo

There you are As you always were In bathing light And naked blur You're a part of me Eternal One By grand design And setting sun If you wait I will wait Taste I will taste If you love I will love Run I will run To my last breath Last night I turned around and thought I saw myself turning Inside the strangest dream of life unloved and cities burning Awake in my arms You cry unharmed Our age of the hours While they still devour all So take it all I doubt if we Will know it's gone Cause we've been here Since time began Begged god awake and make these plans Wound opens Reveal this broken man And soon there's notions of blood on his hands If you wait I will wait Taste I will taste If you love I will love Run I will run To my last breath Last night I turned around I thought I saw myself turning Last night I turned around and thought I watched the world ending Inside the crushing down I felt a pang the tide was turning Destroyed in the wake The jealous ingrates Who'll tear this world down To spite god above With his own love With his own love If you wait If you wait If you wait I will wait Taste I will taste If you love I will Love Run I will run To my last breathe

It was a ruby that she wore On a chain around her neck In the shape of a heart In the shape of a heart It was a time I won't forget For the sorrow and regret And the shape of a heart And the shape of a heart I guess I never knew What she was talking about I guess I never knew What she was living without People speak of love don't know what they're thinking of Wait around for the one who fits just like a glove Speak in terms of belief and belonging Try to fit some name to their longing People speak of love There was a hole left in the wall From some ancient fight About the size of a fist Or something thrown that had missed And there were other holes as well In the house where our nights fell Far to many to repair In the time that we were there People speak of love don't know what they're thinking of Reach out to each other through the push and shove Speak in terms of a life and the learning Try to think of a word for the burning You keep it up You try so hard To keep a life from coming apart And never know What breaches and faults are concealed In the shape of a heart In the shape of a heart In the shape of a heart It was the ruby that she wore On a stand beside the bed In the hour before dawn When I knew she was gone And I held it in my hand For a little while Dropped it into the wall I let it go and heard it fall I guess I never knew What she was talking about I guess I never knew What she was living without People speak of love don't know what they're thinking of Wait around for the one who fits just like a glove Speak in terms of a life and the living Try to find the word for forgiving You keep it up You try so hard To keep a life from coming apart And never know The shallows and the unseen reef That are there from the start In the shape of a heart
