lyrics

Like mud on God’s feet, a heart leaves no trace
Heart knows no boundaries of time or space
A lost poet soldier alone in the field
My heart will keep on fighting--
no gun and no shield
My heart won’t be denied
No my heart won’t be denied tonight
In the face of danger,
in the wake of regret
Heart flows unabated,
drinking this breath
Everything your body does,
my heart wants to feel
My mind can’t deny
what my heart knows is real
My heart won’t be denied
No my heart won’t be denied tonight
Heart will build a castle, heart will tear it down
Heart’s a broken compass lying on the ground
All of the things I thought I knew
They only prove that I’m a fool
My heart is trying to see this through
But in my mind I haven’t got a clue
It’s all in season; it’s all in bloom
You walk into the room, there’s a buzz in my ear
Up high in a frequency only dogs can hear
Everything your body does, my heart wants to feel
My mind can’t deny what my heart knows is real
All of the things I thought I knew
They only prove that I’m a fool
Everything’s different around you
My heart is trying to see this through
But in my mind I haven’t got a clue
It’s all in season; it’s all in bloom
It’s all in bloom
