Poe – Terrified Heart lyrics

Album: Haunted

Second phone call to mother

[RING.]
Mother's answering machine: HELLO. NOBODY'S
HOME. PLEASE LEAVE A MESSAGE
AFTER THE BEEP, AND SOMEBODY'LL GET BACK TO YOU.

Daughter:
Mom? You there? Are you sleeping? I'm so bummed.
I'LL sing a little song AND MAYBE...you'll pick up:

Sometimes, I'm TERRIFIED of my heart
Of its constant hunger
For whatever it is it wants
(speaking) The way it stops...

[The line below is actually at the beginning of Track 7, "Wild".]
...and starts.
