Lyrics:
(Intro)
[Lonely piano chords. Sound of wind. Minimalist.]
(Spoken, whisper)
I really thought we were a team.
Take a look around.
(Verse 1)
[Source: "Possibilities"]
Take a look around... what do you see?
One empty room filled with our memories.
The many conversations we had and done did.
Was it worth it?
(Tell me, was it worth it?)
Take a look around... see the faded outlines on the walls.
Those were the memories caught on film.
Now they're just shadows in the hall.
(Pre-Chorus)
[Source: "Bleeding Heart"]
The borders between right and wrong...
They blur when it comes to my heart.
And it starts to bleed... oh, it starts to bleed.
(Chorus)
[Source: "Bleeding Heart" + "Possibilities"]
Oh, this BLEEDING HEART. This fickle heart!
It’s the CURSE OF AN EMPATH.
I place myself in your shoes, but I just lose!
Why'd you break my dreams?
Why'd you do this to me?
Bleeding heart... SHATTERED HEART.
(THE HOOK)
[Beat drops. Vocal Chant.]
[Source: "Shadows"]
Shattered! (Pieces on the floor!)
Shattered! (Can't take it anymore!)
Shattered! (Walk out the door!)
My heart is crying out.
(Verse 2)
[Source: "Possibilities"]
[Drums kick in. Heavy.]
Do you remember the soft music? The swaying side to side?
My head resting comfortable on your chest?
But now I see the SHATTERED FRAMES of what used to be!
The pushing! The shoving! The screaming!
(I can still hear the screaming!)
We were supposed to be a team!
(Chorus)
Oh, this BLEEDING HEART. This fickle heart!
It’s the CURSE OF AN EMPATH.
I take all the blame!
But my heart just bleeds some more!
Bleeding heart... SHATTERED HEART.
(Verse 3)
[Source: "Possibilities" + "Shadows"]
[Music pulls back, then builds slowly.]
Do you miss me? Can you hear me calling you?
Why can't you see my tears?
I got on my knees and I PRAYED for you!
(Lord knows I prayed!)
I battled at the door!
Pain in pleasure but not getting anywhere!
I tried to save you... but I had to save myself!
(Bridge)
[Gospel Choir enters. Maximum Volume.]
[Source: "Shadows"]
I can't go anywhere without the shadow!
The shadow of my past!
I thought I evicted it!
But the pieces are SHATTERED!
(Shattered!)
(Guitar Solo)
[Screaming, emotional Blues guitar solo]
(Final Chorus)
Oh, this BLEEDING HEART.
I look around the room...
And what do I see?
Just a room full of broken POSSIBILITIES.
(Outro)
[Piano fades]
Take a look around.
(Spoken) Just possibilities.
(Song ends)
