Heartwork Lyrics

[Intro]
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh—

[Verse]
Fists clenched in prepared kindness
Jaws grind in syncopation with primordial electric twitch pulses of kindness
Moment-made involuntary movement
Swift slashing swings of severe blunt-force kindness
Knucklebones' crystalline collisions crash as physiologic thwaps and thumps
Of kindness
Euphoric blackout of rage of kindness
Blows sending sway
The baby hairs on prettiest peach fruit dermis
Swollen shunts showing sweet palette purple
Reprinted with the violence of kindness
Bludgeoned to a pulpy pith, the pulpith of kindness
En masse, a world body blown to bits
Bashed and beat broken to fragmented particulate
A sludge-kludge swamp of bubbled bone and fang
Killed by and with kindness
A quote-unquote kindness holocaust

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

There’s a little arrangement on a song we’ve made with a really special poem of mine, that is the title track for the record. The poem has been around probably since 2012. [I] Wrote it in kind of a horrible moment, a violent moment, an extreme moment, but – you’ve captured it. And so you have that feeling, you have that little capsule of that moment ready whenever you wanna pull it out, wherever you wanna put it. And if it’s good, you can read it five-six years later, and be like, “yeah, I still feel that.”

-Bert for Razor
