• Artist: Toe-Tappingly Tragic
• Description: "The Overly-Repetitive False Preaching Song"
  
  This is just a rough draft that I'd like a few opinions on.
  The song was inspired by one of my many personal philosophies. It's about how all humans are going to feel emotion so there's no point in resenting love or pain or any other form of emotion but instead to be proud of these feelings along with a few more deeper, debatable, philosophical topics.
  I'm working on a concept album and I hope to add this as maybe a bonus song or resolution?

I wear my heart on my sleeve [x2]
It’s getting hard to breathe when my lungs are sucked dry
(By your oh-so exhilarating kiss)
I think I’m gonna die [x2]
(Thanks to your toxic lips)
But you’ve got plenty of oxygen in your ivory tower
I take one step forward and three steps back
I’ve always been stuck in repeat [x2]
And it’s still hard to breathe when I’m busy wearing my heart on my sleeve
I’ve become pretty good at pretending to be kind
Even though I’m always being stabbed from behind [x2]
You’d tear my heart off my sleeve just to watch me bleed
You’d let my body fall to the floor and rewind time just to kill me all over again
Your curse would never end…
Because I’m stuck in repeat [x2]
I take one step forward and three steps back
I’m not going anywhere but I’m getting nowhere fast
I wear my heart on my sleeve and I was born to love but I grew to ache
The human condition is based upon joy and pain
It’s no wonder why our scholars are typically insane
They understand the heart’s anatomy
Born to love and destined to ache
Yet I’d rather wear my heart on my sleeve than bury it somewhere inside of me
And your ivory tower will soon collapse
One day you’ll suffer emotional relapse
The heart is like an open book pinned to a sleeve
So to all of its readers and future believers, preach this song
Wear your heart on your sleeve and raise your fist in the sky
We’re all bound to die…
But live life while you can
Wearing your heart like a pin

[Toe-Tappingly Tragic]

Note: I ran out of characters above. The song is not religious in anyway so try not to take any religious offense (feel free to be offended by anything else) and the song title isn't permanent. It's a draft, just like the lyrics.
