Self Portrait Lyrics & Tabs by Light This City
Self Portrait
guitar chords lyrics
Now listen
Because I've listened to you
Your voice
Your words
And the music behind them
And all of it sinks in
And weighs me down
Finds my heart
And breaks it down
Breaks it open
And empties it out
Tries to fill it back up
But it just spills out again into
My whole body is awake
I have never felt purer pain than this
But it just spills out again into
My whole body is awake
I have never felt purer pain than this
You're in complete control of all my senses
Now you've gotten my attention
Singing
You've gotten my attention now
Sing it
I left my heart's final punch
Echoing in that of the kickdrum's
But somehow
My finger finds the button
And the resulting music kickstarts that vital pump
Blood carries the beat to my ears at the peak of heightened sensitivity
And I'm listening to the sound of a different voice now
He's pulling love out of daring melodies
Wrenching me from the most peaceful sleep
The pieces come together again
And the blood just rushes back through it
Singing
The blood just rushes back through me
Sing it
Don't you understand this power in your hands
You have made me understand everything I am
