Behan the Scene - Heartbeat

Man has 206 bones that endure 365 days
And I've done a full 180 since

With a heart like this, I don't feel anything
(Not anymore)
It concerns me that it's irregular
My vital signs are unhealthy
And this body tries to taunt me (It's aching)
At any moment, I could fade away in a heartbeat

My bloodstream's pumpin'
Heart rate'll sky-rocket
These bone's endurance withstand some things no one's done
It's skull-crushin'
Goin' full-dumb with nothin' to lose
Brood
Incomin' with a looped noose
Loose screws makin' up this dude's who's numb from liftin' all the excess
Cranium is crushed and flooded
Fluids 'bout to gush in
No adrenaline junkie, but facin' side effects
Pinch me, I'm a lil' rusty
It deprives me, though I fight, it's conniving
I contrived a gripe that's writhing in my immune system
That's how I feel as a Pisces
Found it did me no justice, slunk inside this rubbish with a nest of pest remainin' in the rummage
And like maggots, eatin' at my flesh
Yeah, since, my soul's been wanderin'
Tunneled through an underpass, shut the hatches
Look me in my eye, say what my heart desires

With a heart like this, I don't feel anything
(Not anymore)
It concerns me that it's irregular
My vital signs are unhealthy
And this body tries to taunt me (It's aching)
At any moment, I could fade away in a heartbeat

Get the first-aid kit, I ain't gon' make it
I'm at this stage where it's hard to take it
Brace yourself, if there's nothing else
Can't emphasize this enough
What is there to tell?
Just look at this health, I am for the shelf
Banged up
Heart beatin' the other way
Rotten and it's findin' the quickest way to decay
Evasion awaits me, I'm achin'
Everyone evacuate
This is a new change of heart, what will you do when it reshapes?
Hidden figures, different people, they won't split up
Meet one, don't you hesitate
Finish me, and do not wait, eventually I'll misbehave, yeah
Got a lot of stitches in me
You can't perform surgery on me
Set aside my problems, expectin' God to solve them
My life is on the line any day He wants to call me
I have no feelings, you can help yourself
Dead weight on a gurney, lost my rhythm whelp, oh well

A human isn't invincible
As I've deteriorated throughout a vulnerable lifestyle
Every part of my body is riveting in its socket
Neither is my heart whole
But hollow at its core
To a certain extent
Have I checked such a reduced pulse
That a beat, without a rhythm, is soon to succumb to
I'm nothing less of a battery
Charged up to eventually die
And due to my health
I'm incapable of holding a percentage
Lately, I've tried to ease the pain
But there's no cure for what's already become permanent
I, in particular, am futile
Who's set wishful thinking aside
Because realistically you can't pluck him from obscurity
I have yet to ask myself, "What do you do this for?"
