med school still creeps into some of my songs.
i started to write this before i saw the week 1 challenge...
i wonder if the heart
is the most sung body part
but i'm working on another one that i started specifically for the week 1 challenge...
and i have another one about hearts that i'm prepping for V-day.
this might be my first "your heart is a __________" song in over 10 years.
the lyric is a bit thrown together
and so is the recording...
all as it should be, i suppose.
rehang the pictures when the walls stop shaking
the stress ain’t good for nothing but hea – a – art breaking
ranking high on a rubric long since rendered obsolete
and tomorrow ... has just started waking
feeding off the bottom on the edges of the map
and your heart.... aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
is an octopus trap
endless contemplation of the cards that you’re holding
sweet overanalyzed futility, none too emboldening
the embers grow colder – alternate worlds all to shoulder
and the future ... forever unfolding
adrenalized by every bad dream and every thunderclap
and your heart.... aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
is an octopus trap

Great metaphor, it’s unusual but apt and scans really well with the melody as well! Catchy tune.
