Melanie Martinez - Brain & Heart (Lyrics)


[Verse 1]

Help me when I'm at a loss for words
Bring up all my memories for the please and the temporal lobe
False lovin', when I was illogical
Didn't know they had each others hands as they made one whole

[Pre-Chorus]
Brain stem, yells temperature
Rise now, sweat, it drops down my silky flesh
Buttering up my consciousness
Good, good, good now
Ability to sleep sound throughout this dark times
An illusion, if you just remove it

[Chorus]
When did humans start to separate
Brain and heart as if they could stay alive alone
Flip it around the other way
If they were apart and you had no powers
Start on no database
Only a shell remains
What fun is it, to being so calculated
Or be taken advantage of, 'cause your heart's too trusting
Silent expressed push my hand into my chest
Bind them up, forever wed
Don't drift too far, they said

[Verse 2]
Help me when I'm too detached and cold
Give me the vitality, that I need, to trust love more
Blood to the water, neither can fuel us alone
Fervency in my arteries, passion bloomin' through my bones

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Heart strings trigger emotion streams
A God belongs, a journey where rivers connect all of me
But, but be a stepping stone, you disappoint me
Sometimes I think you're all I need
What is beyond belief?

[Chorus]
When did humans start to separate
Brain and heart as if they could stay alive alone
Flip it around the other way
If they were apart and you had no powers
Start on no database
Only a shell remains
What fun is it, to be so calculated
Or be taken advantage of, 'cause your heart's too trusting
Silent expressed push my hand into my chest
Bind them up, forever wed
Don't drift too far, they said
