Cautionary Measures
Stage whispers and panic
We rush for the door
Whilst I call ahead
You put your foot to the floor
Translator
You’ll need to speak for me
I choke on these sentences
Can’t get the words out
This private pain, this
Mass devastation
The heart isn’t beating
And it won’t beat again
My heart will never be the same
These cautionary measures taken couldn’t stop this one from breaking
Tide had turned and taken the full away
And empty took it’s place
There’s a heart beating uncontrollably
It’s mine
Felt the strong medication
As it slowly ejected
The last of a life that my body had rejected
See there’s no-one to blame
At least we’ve still got each other
At night you reassure me
One day I’ll make a good mother
This private pain, this
Mass devastation
The heart isn’t beating
And it won’t beat again
My heart will never be the same
These cautionary measures taken couldn’t stop this one from breaking
Tide had turned and taken the full away
And empty took it’s place
There’s a heart beating uncontrollably
It’s mine
So we let the dust settle
We trust there’s some sense
To this unending chaos
So we take no offence
I lie in your arms
You’re strong by my side
But every now and then
I catch you wiping your eyes
This private pain, this
Mass devastation
The heart isn’t beating and it won’t beat again
My heart will never be the same
These cautionary measures taken couldn’t stop this one from breaking
Tide had turned and taken the full away
And empty took it’s place
There’s a heart beating uncontrollably
It’s mine
This private pain, this
Mass devastation
The heart isn’t beating
And it won’t beat, it won't beat, it won't beat, it won't beat again
