lyrics

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
