"A Fatal Beating" lyrics

"A Fatal Beating"

What's that lying in the leaves so still?
An empty shell of self, I'm all alone and dying
It's just a fatal beating of my heart
Another fatal beating of my heart

When you look into my eyes, you see
A shattered me. You see, I'm all alone and dying
When you listen very, very close, you'll hear
A muffled scream, a dream you never want to visit
It's just a fatal beating of my heart
Another fatal beating of my heart

Oh love, oh love, why did you go?
Oh love, oh love, why did you die?
Oh love, oh love, why did you go?
Oh love (oh love), you've beaten me
Oh love, no chances I'll survive it
It's just a fatal beating of my heart
Another fatal beating of my heart

What's that lying in the road ahead?
Could it be our love, our love is dead?
I guess you tried to hit the brakes too late
It's dead wight, my fate, you drag beneath your tires
It's just a fatal beating of my heart
Another fatal beating of my heart

Oh love, oh love, why did you go?
Oh love, oh love, why did you die?
Oh love, oh love, why did you go?
Oh love (oh love), you've beaten me
Oh love, no chances I'll survive it
It's just a fatal beating of my heart
Another fatal beating of my heart
