I danced as though I were about to die And the playthings that I broke would be just fine the next day I'd fall and rise and march again into the sea Until the sirens of the shore would call me back to the fray In time one must let go, or so I’m told So I’m told Like skin, words grow so old But still my heartbeat keeps me awake Pulsing in time with the clock though neither means anything My heartbeat keeps me awake Counting every second as I lose everything I wear blue like a cryogenic crown And the arch of my eyebrow will outlast Notre Dame And even drowning in the waters that I need I look twice as good as you although I'm playing at half speed As long as I feel cold in summer I’m warm enough I’m thin enough Shades make this vision clearer Yet my heartbeat keeps me awake The rain is falling like it wants to smash the window My heartbeat keeps me awake Repeating information that I already know I dance although I feel like I could die And the playthings reconstructed are wasting away Looming shapes beyond the surface of the sea The mirage of the sirens still tempts me to stray My heartbeat keeps me awake Pulsing in time with the clock though neither means anything My heartbeat keeps me awake Counting every second as I lose everything My heartbeat keeps me awake The rain is falling like it wants to smash the window My heartbeat keeps me awake Repeating information that I already know
