Lyrics for The Tinderbox (of A Heart)

They are beaten You'd feel danger there Through the edged are beaten You'd feel danger there How heavy you are on this faded hatch Tinderbox of a heart left a shell is all How heavy you are on this faded hatch Tinderbox of a heart left a shell is all How heavy you are on this faded hatch Tinderbox of a heart left a shell is all Bleed in your fate's ground through the edge It's so bloody and blunt of big crystal eyes How heavy you are; it's fading your hatch Tinderbox of a heart left a shell is all Bleed in your fate's ground through the edge It's so bloody and blunt of big crystal eyes How heavy you are; it's fading your hatch Tinderbox of a heart left a shell is all
