[v1]
my physical therapist says its amazing how im standing strong
black hole heartbeats dont usually last very long
so theres no precedent for this singularity
just brace and bear the weight: a walking zombie

[prec1]
and you say
nothings changed 
like i can’t
feel my body null and void,
cosmic hum
in my veins, made over

[chorus]
your heart beats twice as fast as mine
like its chasing the safety of keeping in time
and im already far too gone

my black hole pulse is gonna swallow you away
if you knew what i knew you wouldnt have me stay
so i’d rather be already gone

[v2]
it’s in your eyes, the way it starts to take its toll
slow motion windup like you’re loathe to let it go 
desperate to see you smile, but i’m damned to pull you in
event horizon mirrored, we’re due to cross within the year

[prec2]
swallow pride 
with the moon; 
pack your bags
for a fate we can't outrun
counting down
to collapse of the sun

[chorus]
your heart beats twice as fast as mine
like its chasing the safety of keeping in time
and im already far too gone

my black hole pulse is gonna swallow you whole
if you knew what I'd say you wouldn't ask at all
so i’d rather be already gone

[bridge]

[sick instrumentals]

how can i keep running?
how are we to keep running?
why do i keep running?

maybe i'm still hungry
as long as I'm still standing
fate will have to catch me

[chorus]
your heart beats twice as fast as mine
like its chasing the safety of keeping in time
and im already far too gone

my black hole pulse would’ve swallowed you whole
you wouldn't hold onto hope if you knew what I know
so i’d rather be already gone

your heart beats twice as fast as mine
so determined to stay; to keep us synched in time
but i'm already far too gone

my black hole pulse would've swallowed you away
i couldn't live with myself if i let you stay
so i'm sorry, i'm already gone

[outro]
the scientists say its amazing how im holding on
black hole heartbeats dont usually last very long
