about

I started this messing with some guitar samples from King Crimson's track titled Heartbeat. It then took on a life of it's own.

lyrics

LYRICS
Verse
My knees
start to tremble
when you cross the floor.

I'm asunder.
i go mental.
I'm halfway out the door.
Just a little
conversation
what I'm wishing for

I go tongue-tied
swallow my pride
I won't hide anymore.

Pre-Chorus
But my heart betrays me,
once again
Feel it's rhythm it skips,
and I can't pretend.

Always tells me just how,
it's gonna end.
I take a detour to ensure,
it won't begin.

Chorus
My hearts a traitor
An instigator
but you know I can't deny,
she knows what's good for me.

My hearts a traitor
Manipulator
but I can't blame her,
cause she's the one who's looking out for me.

Verse
Walking,
in the moonlight,
I find that missing spark.

Help me,
help me trick her,
try to divert her,
distract this wicked heart.

Just a little,
Complication.
what I want is not allowed?

Fuck it.
I am jumping.
Won't let her stop me now.

Pre-Chorus
But my heart betrays me
once again.
Feel it's grip and I slip,
and I can't pretend.

Always tells me just how
it's gonna end.
I take a detour to ensure
it won't begin.

Chorus
My hearts a traitor,
An instigator.
But you know I can't deny,
she knows what's good for me.

My hearts a traitor,
manipulator.
But I can't blame her,
cause she's the one who's looking out for me.
