Scales

This beating heart won’t stay
Steady enough to keep me on this narrow way
With every twist and turn
The street beneath my feet begins to burn (Burn)
So I turn off
So I turn off, ooh
And leave it alone
There must be something here
Beautiful to hold against my dying ears
Before I disappear
Send me off with something I’ve not heard (Heard)
So I turn off, ooh
And leave it alone
So I turn off, ooh
And leave it alone
Ooh-ooh
Wonder why I fail
As I’m hunting down my tail
Oh, wonder why I try at all
This bleeding heart won’t stay
Heavy enough to keep me on the ground to lay
But I’ve never known the turns
But still I run like hell until it burns
So I turn off, ooh
And let it go
So I turn off, ooh
And leave it alone
Ooh
Oh, I turn off
