about

Lyrics for 'Heart Karma' were inspired by real events, a little fiction, and a period of emotional helplessness. There is no catharsis in the karma of the heart, only suffering and eventual redemption.

lyrics

Well it started with the fever and the green eyes
And the jealous bones
And it never should have escalated further than a lockout
From my home
But I chased you through the evening when you threatened me
With bleeding on the phone
I should have known that you were leaving
But your love was so deceiving
I was a fool

It was only my heart
Only my heart
I gave you my soul
Only my heart
Only my heart
I could give you more

When you told me that you wanted me I knew that it was
Knew that it was wrong
You should never build foundations on a broken heart for someone
Well not for long
When you fought me in the forest it was karma
And inside of me I knew
With your violence and your poison and your helplessness
And noise away you blew

It was only my heart
Only my heart
I gave you my soul
Only my heart
Only my heart
I can't give you more
Only my heart
Only my heart
I gave you my soul
Only my heart
Only my heart
I can't give you more
