The heart does tire

We woke up in good spirits and uplifted
It didn't take long for us to get hit
Have you been out yet
Just wait until you do
They will break your spirits if you let them
They who let themselves stay broken
We woke up in good spirits
But alas, now our hearts are hurt
The heart does tire

We woke up whole and healthy
It didn't take long for us to get sick
Have you seen the decay
Just wait until the stench hits you
They will take you into the gutters if you let them
They who enjoy pigwash
We woke up whole and healthy
Alas, now we're fainting from the rot
The heart does tire

We woke up excited for the future
It only took minutes for us to get deflated
Have you seen the news
No, don't wait until you're the news
They will break you unless you fight
The dead who don't even know they are
For that's what they are
They who seek to kill body and soul
We woke up excited
Now we just want to get by
For the heart does get tired

Truly the heart does tire
When does it get a break?
Again, I ask
When does it rest?
To heal
To nourish
They will trigger you unto death if you let them
They whose whose minds have long been broken
The heart does give up eventually
Don't wait until it does
