I have lost my heart beneath the bandages
Somewhere it rests on a bed of white
Beating ever so softly
I have lost touch with it
Its moans are muffled
It sinks deeper in its wrapping
Becoming an unreachable place
I cannot blame it
Not with the beating it's received
I want to hide away
Just rest away from the world
But I cannot retreat
Just as my heart cannot stay
We cannot stop the calling
We must each go our separate ways
So as my heart falls asleep
I will open my eyes wider
Until the surgery is complete
Then I will soldier on
Through the days of this world
That place in my chest that has been numbed
Will slowly infect the rest of me
Cold has come to make a home
In the vacated hollows between my bones
Finally I will lose myself beneath the bandages
I will become a figure clothed in white
I will not remember myself
My sighs will be silenced
I will be my past
An irretrievable time
Can I blame myself
I have taken such a beating
Though no one saw me bleeding
I will become the bandage
It has become all I know
Though it cannot keep out the cold
Perhaps it will keep it in
