This Open Heart

A Northern Chorus

The poems strewn

Across the floor

They're out of tune

With every chord

And one reads "˜lay down

Inside this open heart'

And where's this heart of which it speaks?

It must be soaring skies revealed

For it's been fooled for the last time

Or so it would seem

And I can't lay down

Inside this open heart

With these crazed eyes

Of aftermath

Tell me what happens when the planets align?

Will torrid skies collapse our hearts?

Will jealous moons come crashing down

Into the ocean floor?

For it's been fooled for the last time

Or so it would seem

And it's been fooled for the last time

Or so it would seem
