Brain & Heart

Help me when I'm at a loss for words Bring up all my memories Folder please, in the temporal lobe False lovin', when I was illogical Didn't know they held each other's hands 'cause they made one whole Brain stem, yells temperature Arise now, sweat, raindrops down my silky flesh But doing up my consciousness Good, good, good now Ability to sleep sound Throughout the star times An illusion, if you just remove it When did humans start to separate Brain and heart as if they could stay alive alone? Flip it around the other way If they were apart and you had no power start or no database Only a shell remains What fun is it, to be so calculated Or be taken advantage of, 'cause your heart's too trusting Silent expressed push my head into my chest Bind them up, forever wed "Don't drift too far," they said Help me when I'm too detached and cold Give me the vitality that I need to trust love more Blood to the water, neither can fuel us alone Fervency in my arteries, passion bloomin' through my bones Heartstrings trigger emotion streams Agape loves a journey, red rivers connect all of me But, but be it steadfast, don't you disappoint me Sometimes I think you're all I need, wise beyond belief When did humans start to separate Brain and heart as if they could stay alive alone? Flip it around the other way If they were apart and you had no power start or database Only a shell remains What fun is it, to be so calculated Or be taken advantage of, 'cause your heart's too trusting Silent expressed push my head into my chest Bind them up, forever wed "Don't drift too far," they said --- Brain & Heart - Melanie Martinez
