Old Wild Hearts Lyrics by Gateway District

Old Wild Hearts

2012

Our hearts are drugged and down
Heaving with the stress of fear
Silence cancels sound
And I'm not sure how we wound up here
We try to forget what we've got
And we get so confused
We try to relax but we're lost
And our hearts feel abused
We try, oh, we try to be mighty
We look around and wonder how
Our eyes reflect in neon now
The birds are singing wrong
Through the haze of something strange
They've put us on
We try to stretch out but we're fenced all around so we cry
And we try to pick fights so there'll be something we recognise
It's not good or bad, it's just wild
Like thunderstorms and crocodiles
We look for new migration paths
And circle round the centre part
Following old wild hearts
In concrete habitats
We try to forget that we're so delicate
How did we all get this goddamn desperate?
Like stars of heavy elements
Torn by forces opposite
We try, desperate, to forget
That we're terrible and delicate
We try, oh, we try to be mighty
