Lost on the stage I was looking her way to see, She was naming the dead And talking in poetry. And every line is a bookshelf, And i won't feel sorry for myself, Your heart is desperately damaged, And my heart is a wasp's nest. (2x) And i hate that river I know i have rivals dear, But if books are my home Then you killed my family. And every line is a bookshelf, And i won't feel sorry for myself, Your heart is desperately damaged, And my heart is a wasp's nest. (2x) My heart is a wasp's nest, My imagination was the first apple tree. (4x) And every line is a bookshelf, And i won't feel sorry for myself, Your heart is desperately damaged, And my heart is a wasp's nest.
