Black Heart (Why Protect​?​)

from You Only Love Me When I'm Dreaming (EP) by Dean Marino

/

lyrics

Black heart still beating
Black heart still cheating me
Out of bliss ignorance
And any sense of serenity

So, give me a name and address
Just this once, give me a fucking chance
To bring him down, or prove me wrong
Or just make him a human being

Why protect? Why protect?

Black heart pumping hurt
Black veins full of dirt
Can't stop the imagery
From building a false memory

Just give a name or a photograph
And I will write his epitaph
Burn the image or shake his hand
Bite his throat or roll on my belly

Why protect? Why protect?

I wouldn't mind a lesser man
Inside you, my sweet territory
But if I can't tower over him
Then I am nobody

Do not protect! Do not protect!
Afraid I’ll do something I might regret?
I’ll just add it to the list and then forget
I’m a man with a black heart

I half believe in this Darwinist shit
After all, I'm made from it
You’re just a child who is always hungry
But I am a man with a black heart
