lyrics

Stage whispers and panic
We rush for the door
Whilst I call ahead
you put your foot to the floor
Translator, you’ll need to speak for me
I choke on these sentences
Can’t get the words out

This private pain, this mass devastation
The heart isn’t beating and it won’t beat again
My heart will never be the same

These cautionary measures taken
Couldn’t stop this one from breaking
Tide had turned and taken the full away
and empty took it’s place
There’s a heart beating uncontrollably
It’s mine

Felt the strong medication as it slowly ejected
The last of a life that my body had rejected
See there’s no-one to blame
At least we’ve still got each other
At night you reassure me one day I’ll make a good mother

This private pain, this mass devastation
The heart isn’t beating and it won’t beat again
My heart will never be the same

These cautionary measures taken
Couldn’t stop this one from breaking
Tide had turned and taken the full away
and empty took it’s place
There’s a heart beating uncontrollably
It’s mine

So we let the dust settle
We trust there’s some sense
To this unending chaos
So we take no offence
I lie in your arms,
you’re strong by my side
But every now and then
I catch you wiping your eyes.

This private pain, this mass devastation
The heart isn’t beating and it won’t beat again
My heart will never be the same

These cautionary measures taken
Couldn’t stop this one from breaking
Tide had turned and taken the full away
and empty took it’s place
There’s a heart beating uncontrollably
It’s mine

Shotgun Tori & the Hounds Johannesburg, South Africa

Shotgun Tori & the Hounds is an indie/folk band from Johannesburg. They make music to move you, and to move to. It’s honest- to-goodness, raw, foot-tapping road-trip music for warm-bodied, hot-blooded humans.

Between her sweet, road-worn vocals and his guitar-driven melodies, what you get a fresh soulful mix of country and folk, dynamic in execution and ambitious in range. ... more
