Open Heart Surgery

I'm wide awake as they operate Lost count of the days in my helpless state I brave the doors climbing to my core Making a mess of tears and gore breaking in my Trojan Horse Every bullet aiming for my open heart Open theatre to my naked scars Take me down to build me up Pull me apart Fortify my helpless work of art White lights why am I this way? Will the harvest be worth all the pain? I can feel the spotlight in my bones And I know the love won't grow If I leave my heart exposed for every stone Every bullet aiming for my open heart Open theatre to my naked scars Take me down to build me up Pull me apart Fortify my helpless work of art My muse is all I see I choose what I believe I brave the armoury To one day be a tower in their sea I'll keep my poets heart I'll keep the tender parts But I won't be their casualty The boy who couldn't handle the heat Every bullet aiming for my open heart Open theatre to my naked scars Take me down to build me up Pull me apart Fortify my helpless work of art Every bullet aiming for my open heart Open theatre to my naked scars Take me down to build me up Pull me apart Fortify my helpless work of art
