Chrome

It's not the things that

I can't change that bother me

And it's not the things that

I don't know that undermine me

It's not the thing that

I can't hold or the balancing wire

That broke, that throws me

It's not the fact that

You walked out that bewilders me

It's not the sleep that

I can't steal that wires me

It's not the coffee or the pills

It's not this space that

I can't fill that kills me

Well, in case you didn't know

I've got a heart made of chrome

It's been bent 'til it was twisted

And in case you didn't know

I've got a heart made of chrome

It's been burned

But it's still willing to try and shine

It's not the drunks and their devices

That provoke me

And it's not the politics of love and distance

And all that that shit evokes in me+

It's not the Sunday morning fights

Or this soul on ice that numbs me

And it's not the passing of another Indian

Summer that saddens me

It's no the shutter in the undertow

That bears down on me

It's not everything ending as it begins

Or the loneliness that grins that destroys me

Well, in case you didn't know

I've got a heart made of chrome

It's been bent 'til it was twisted

And in case you didn't know

I've got a heart made of chrome

It's been burned

But it's still willing to try and shine, yeah shine
