Each Heartbeat is On Fire

Reach through the iron gate
Feel for the broken shards
Even though it’s far too late
Bring them back through the bars

Slowly fit the heart together
Ignore the holes and cracks
Know it will never get better
You will never get it back

Slowly put it back inside
Move back into the dark
All that’s left is to hide
And survive through every mark

Eyes are closed and thoughts shut down
Walls keep rising higher
The darkness tries so hard to drown
Each heartbeat is on fire
