I don't enjoy swallowing life through a bottle   How the poison makes all of my memories hollow   And how my throat moves in sync with my body   In a crowd I'm composed; my life's a dichotomy      Still my heart, my heart   Is burning through darkness for you   Still my lungs, my lungs   Respire for no one, but you      When I close my eyes I can hear the city   There's no miracle or medicine for self-pity   I imagine you standing in white in the middle   I don't blame you for leaving; you did what you had to      And all of the while everything's still in motion   The working class learning that life's just a bargain   While the rich men conspire plans to reach heaven   You stand there so pretty, why won't this last forever?   You did what you had to; you did what you had to      Still my heart, my heart   Is burning through darkness for you   Still my lungs, my lungs   Respire for no one, but you      Still my heart, my heart   Is burning through darkness for you   Still my lungs, my lungs   Respire for no one, but you
