about

"Zombie Heart" evokes a darkly hopeful mood through pensive lyrics about a dead heart reawakening, lilting piano melodies, and preoccupation with the Apocalypse.

lyrics

I keep fighting it back, but I charged with no plan of attack...
Just a singular thought in my head-- I wanted you back.
I keep pushing it down
Thought I buried my heart in the ground
But like the living dead it clawed its way out
And it wants you around

Woah, I can feel my heart beat like it's alive again
Woah, I can feel my heart beat when you hold my hand

Tried to put it to rest
But it's hard when you wake up the dead
To know how to stop it again
But to tear it to shreds
I keep pushing it down
Thought I buried my heart in the ground
But it suddenly found its way out
And it wants you around

Woah, I can feel my heart beat like it's alive again
Woah, I can feel my heart beat when you hold my hand

You say there is no way for us
Only heartbreak for us
But you can't deny my heart had died
You say there are no miracles
No healers, no oracles
But you can't deny
My zombie heart's come alive
You say there is no way for us
Only heartbreak for us
But you can't deny my heart has come alive

Now you can feel my heart beat like it's live again
Now you can feel my heart beat when you hold my hand
