Galaxies Lyrics & Chords By Hospital Ships

Your heart is faint
Like the soft faint light
Attendant to the end
Of some dying star
And your mind is blank
Like the humble face
Attendant to your end
And his quiet words said
O'er your body when you're dead
Galaxies of grief
Like diamonds clear and clean
You tried to spit them out
Exhale then breathed them in
You're precious, weak, and thin
And you're an empty building then
Like your body when you're dead
And they blow your chest
Out like a flat balloon
And if your ribs would break
You'd spill your life, as from a dam
And your thoughts grow dark
Like the deepest of caves
Attendant to the end
Of some awful thing
At the bottom of the world
Silent, still, and strange
Like your body when you're dead
Galaxies of grief
Like anxious little fish
You tried to spit them out
Exhale then breathe them in
They're beautiful and blind
You're a flooded river then
Like your body when you're dead
And they blow your chest
Out like a black balloon
And if your ribs would break
You'd spill your life, as from a dam
And you drop to the ground
Just like a wounded bird
And if your ribs would break
You'd be a perfect vessel then
