The Heart Is a Cannibal

She hates you, then, she loves you more
Underneath the shadows of her thoughts, shadows of her thoughts
She rings a bell for you
I wish that she was a statue made of gold
And nobody could bring her down
Goodness knows I just don't like sadness, she cries before she wakes
And so my friend

If you love her
Don't turn away
Don't fight it
Don't run away
We're people, and we are animals
You're thunder
And the heart is a cannibal

Oh, I ask you, do you love me more
Than all the men that have ever come before?
Ever come before
And when I'm like a storm
Kiss me, hurt me, heal me with your words
So nobody could ever bring me down
Goodness knows I just don't like sadness, she cries before she wakes
And so my friend

If you love her
Don't turn away
Don't fight it
Don't run away
We're people, and we are animals
You're thunder
And the heart is a cannibal

When love is gone, your thoughts are calm
Your words are holy, your days are long
Your blood is colder, and your face is old
And the days flow by like water
You miss the stormy weather
And she was gold
Goodness knows I just don't like sadness, she cries before she wakes
And so my friend

If you love her
Don't turn away
Don't fight it
Don't run away
We're people, and we are animals
You're thunder
And the heart is a cannibal

The heart is a cannibal
The heart is a cannibal
The heart is a cannibal
