Cover Art Inspired by The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp (1632) - Rembrandt and Penguin Classics

lyrics

Oh my EKG
Pumping like it's a timeline
Mapping my brightest days
Tracing my darkest nights
And that little space between each beat
Of that bittersweet design
Where it rests most of the time

And though the timescale seems like it's seconds apart
It could take weeks on end
It might take years to start
Oh but it repeats itself
Each segment of the chart
Every vast beating of my heart

Chorus:
And even though there's stasis in the spaces in between
That doesn't mean that you're dead
That doesn't mean
And even though we're not always living in the peaks
That doesn't mean that you're dead
That doesn't mean

Oh look at my EKG
Moving like it's a plot chart
It rises up to the peak
The most exciting part
But right after each climax
Is when the falling starts
Setting each lonesome beat apart

You see, Hollywood would end
Before the drop
But that's never where
Any story stops
It seems that the highest highs
Fall to the lowest trough
In this vast beating of my heart

Chorus

I'm not trying to speak in riddles
Although I speak in rhyme
You see this pulsing chart
It's not only mine
It's ours, it's theirs
It's all combined
And it's been beating for all time

Oh and throughout the universe
Echoes a thumping sound
As our cities rise
And fall to the ground
And it beats just for you
Until it flattens out
Oh this vast beating of our hearts
