• The Cataclysmic Joy Series;
    A Heart That Beats
    By Resurrecting Chivalry
    The heart was made to beat,
    not to conquer great feats,
    or handle defeat,
    or even utter words too sweet,
    or deal with truth too concrete.

    I want a heart that won't break,
    whenever I'm shaken awake,
    whenever I make a mistake,
    every time I'm handed a fake,
    and give mine up for one to take,
    and break and shake and make their own
    and oh it aches...it aches...

    She said
    I'll give you a heart that won't cry,
    even if you're denied,
    even if you're lied to,
    when friends are few,
    when there's nothing left you can do,
    I'll give you my hand,
    and show you something new.

    She said
    I'll give you a heart that'll never tear,
    nothing will be too much too bear.
    No love will be able to compare,
    and not another soul need care,
    'cause not another soul need be aware,
    that we're climbing towards our heaven,
    let's forget the stairs,
    faith be our wings, and we'll take the air.

    I want a heart that won’t bleed,
    so when I'm brought to my knees,
    So when I'm forced to plea,
    so when I must flee,
    with nowhere else to be,
    there won't be a wound,
    for the world to see.

    I'll follow you with glee,
    to a place where we are free,
    be it through the clouds,
    or to the bottom of the sea,
    to a place where it's just you and me,
    if you can give me a heart that beats.
