"My Wrecking Heart"

I'm not sure about most of the lyrics in this song; they aren't transcribed anywhere easy online. I think he says, "My wrecking heart," but I'm not sure. I'd like it if he did.

This album was a slow burn affection. I heard it several times, unable to discern if I liked it through pedal steel bias. Its lyrics, however I hear them, have struck me repeatedly. Arrows to the gong.

"I speak in tatters, a lone disaster. Revelations and diamonds underneath the flowers. Give me idle hands to carry this sword to them."

"I can't see you, Leviathan. Makes me nervous. I spent my wrecking heart on seven failures."

"Your loneliness dissolves / the love you can't... recall."

It takes a lot of effort for me to convert my lyric subconscious into intelligible speech. Some bands run a little closer to the seams. The molten glow we forget below dirt. The raw heat of meaning both above and beneath. I'm grateful for someone who can capture and endure their own eruptions.
