Black Heart Inertia (album version) Lyrics

Walking alone tonight
"Cause I"ve only got room for two
Me and my burdened black heart
It"s all we know how to do
Yet I look for a bigger bang
Than the kind I continually see
Sick of all this inertia ow
Won"t you mend me?

Lover, can you help me?
I"m a child lost in the woods
A black heart pollutes me
And I think

You"re a mountain that I"d like to climb
Not to conquer, but to share in the view

Pulled by a false inertia
Pushed out by circumstance
Pistol firing at my feet
That"s coercing me to dance
Yet I look for a bigger bang
Than the kind I"m sorry to know.
Here I am, first foot of the climb
Watch me go.

Lover, can you help me?
I"m a child lost in the woods
A lit path eludes me
And I think

You"re a mountain that I"d like to climb
Not to conquer, but to share in the view
You"re a bonfire and I"m gathered "round you
Set this old black heart inertia aflame
Send it away (repeat)

[guitar solo]

You"re a mountain
That I"d like to climb
Not to conquer, but to share in the view
You"re a bonfire
And I"m gathered "round you
Set this old black heart inertia aflame

Set it aflame, send it away
