cavern of hearts - coffin varnish lyrics

[verse 1]
my chest is a cavern, my heartbeat echoes like a lonely beast
i’ve gone exploring, but i’ve never found just what it needs
torches don’t light and fires snuff out, and warmth is an envied folktale
and i am inside somewhere in the dark, waiting for someone to lose the trail

[chorus]
i’d steal a million hearts and fill the cavern up
to drown out the awful sound of my own bemoaning, “it’s hopeless luck.”
to be starving for something, something like love
and i can’t givе it that, so i’ll steal a million hearts to shut it up

[verse 2]
i can feel the spotlight illuminating thе darkest shadows
there’s something like love in the applause at the end of a show
what a performance, i almost fooled myself into believing
that i deserved any of it, any of it, i’m always underachieving

[chorus]
i’d steal a million hearts and fill the cavern up
to drown out the awful sound of my own bemoaning, “it’s hopeless luck.”
to be starving for something, something like love
and i can’t give it that, so i’ll steal a million hearts to shut it up

[bridge]
i don’t want you to love me, it makes me insecure
i’d rather you praise me, it’s safer and it’s simpler
i don’t deserve love but i can earn praise
and if i work hard enough, maybe someday
i can shove enough accolades into my chest
to make the pain go away
[chorus]
i’d steal a million hearts and fill the cavern up
to drown out the awful sound of my own bemoaning, “it’s hopeless luck.”
to be starving for something, something like love
and i can’t give it that, so i’ll steal a million hearts to shut it up
