Ugly Human Heart Pt. 1

She crawled into the tavern
 With her stringy hair
 All tangled like a brier
 My habits took her by the hands
 But this time they were branded
 From the fire
 If I had any sense at all
 I would have had those officers arrest her
 But something in the desperate light of nature
 Wouldn't let good reason register
 Her ugly human heart
 We walked the arid sunrise
 And then back again
 Through webs already spun
 We were dancing on the
 Unmarked graves of everything
 That cannot be undone
 If I was wearing anything at all
 I probably wore it on my sleeve
 'Cause love's enough for any fool to put on
 Quick as something to believe in like
 Her ugly human heart
 There were shapes of ancient wonder
 'Long the trails of piling rocks
 And foggy dew
 And though it seemed like make believe
 The assassins are all fleshy and true
 (What about you?)
 All the while I stood in style
 My fingers either occupied or crossed
 And though our cards were counted
 We still folded every hand until we lost
 Everything but
 Her ugly human heart
