Lyrics
HeartStops words and music by ThadWheeler aka TacTavo 7/13/03
copyright 2003 by thad wheeler aka tac tavo
The sun drips light on empty branches.
River twisting by in crystal motion.
Hollow tracks tell desperate stories,
Where a heart stops.
Shadows trapped in frozen limbo.
Water growing still in silent action.
Breathing slows in mute endurance,
Not a tear drops.
If love grows cold, will I die?
Can I lose my faith and rot away,
And still be alive?
If hope fades, will I?
Corrupted spirits prey on weakness,
Spreading ripe decay of fallen angels.
Hungry eyes in gnarley darkness.
Where does fear stop?
If love grows cold, will I die?
Can I lose my faith and rot away,
And still be alive?
If hope fades, will I?
Butterfly, she spins so lightly.
Holding tight, I feel my daddy?s heartbeat.
A thousand candles light the ballroom.
Dancing, turning in the ballroom?
A butterfly dies?
Lips turn blue, can?t stop the shaking.
But a tiny ember flickers deep inside.
Now a rest seems so inviting,
When a heart stops?
