Test Tube Heart

from Only The Sad Songs by Chris Webb

/

about

song written in October 2014 about all the factors of your life bubbling away in a test tube over a bunsen burner.

lyrics

With a test tube heart it's often hard to speak
With a lab set your mother bought for you
You sit in rooms and quietly clink the glass
A scientist boy fixing it true to your heart

Like a matchstick in burns up to a point and then stops
The smoke fills the air
Then start over again, when it's new it is empty
The fire spits, love hits home like axe to tree

With my test tube heart it often starts to bleed
All the chemicals foaming like head on a beer
It comes as words flowing to ears with great force
Tubes on sleeves, a tattoo of my life on my arm

Like a matchstick in burns up to a point and then stops
The smoke fills the air
Then start over again, when it's new it is empty
The fire spits, love hits home like axe to tree
