"How does a heart that was as warm as yours suddenly turn as black as charcoal?"

lyrics

Hold your silver locket
Keep it in your pocket
Even though that boy is off the market
You can play the ragged peasant
Try hard to be pleasant
Your cries for me or for anyone are deafening
You see what you tossed away then
Rises again
Your eyes saw sunrise
But you stayed in bed.

CHORUS:
Charcoal heart
Never fell apart
But caught fire in the dark
Inferno valve
Eternal doubt
If something as dark and as cold as that charcoal
Could burst into embers and flames that sparkle
Then how could I expect this?

Her expired v-card
Gets seen by a police car
And they're holding her back so she cannot see far
You see what she tossed away then
Rises again
Her eyes saw sunrise
But she stayed in bed.

CHORUS

You see what she tossed away then
Rises again
Her eyes saw sunrise
But she stayed in bed.

CHORUS
