Lyrics

[Verse 1]
This is gospel for the fallen ones
Locked away in permanent slumber
Assembling their philosophies
From pieces of broken memories
[Verse 2]
Oh, this is the beat of my heart, this is the beat of my heart
Oh, this is the beat of my heart, this is the beat of my heart
[Verse 3]
The gnashing teeth and criminal tongues
Conspire against the odds
But they haven't seen the best of us yet
If you love me, let me go
If you love me, let me go
'Cause these words are knives that often leave scars
The fear of fallin' apart
And the truth be told, I never was yours
The fear, the fear of fallin' apart
[Verse 4]
Oh, this is the beat of my heart, this is the beat of my heart
Oh, this is the beat of my heart, this is the beat of my heart
[Verse 5]
This is gospel for the vagabonds
Ne'er-do-wells, insufferable bastards
Confessing their apostasies
Lead away by imperfect impostors
[Verse 6]
Oh, this is the beat of my heart, this is the beat of my heart
Oh, this is the beat of my heart, this is the beat of my heart
[Verse 7]
Don't try to sleep through the end of the world
Don't bury me alive
'Cause I won't give up without a fight
If you love me, let me go
If you love me, let me go
'Cause these words are knives that often leave scars
The fear of fallin' apart
And the truth be told, I never was yours
The fear, the fear of fallin' apart
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
The fear of fallin' apart
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
The fear, the fear of fallin' apart
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh (This is the beat of my heart, this is the beat of my heart)
The fear of fallin' apart
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh (This is the beat of my heart, this is the beat of my heart)
The fear of fallin' apart
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh (This is the beat of my heart, this is the beat of my heart)
The fear of fallin' apart
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh (This is the beat of my heart, this is the beat of my heart)
The fear of fallin' apart
