Zeirlith (Intro – soft, wise, slow spoken word) A heart is just an organ… beating only to keep you alive. But that same organ only becomes a heart… the moment it learns how to love. I’ve seen the bread man become the most important man in the town when the hurricane was coming. His table was surrounded by people desperate to buy bread, reaching, pushing, barely giving him space to breathe. But the moment the storm passed… the same people walked right past him like he was invisible. They didn’t call his name. They didn’t even look his way. I’ve watched the poor become rich… and I’ve watched the rich become poor. I’ve seen a house full of family… and I’ve seen that same man left alone in an empty house. That’s the truth of this world. Verse 1: They only love you when their world is falling apart, Soon as the dust settles, they forget you had a heart. When trouble comes knocking, they suddenly know your name, But when the calm returns, you’re just another face in the rain. Verse 2: I’ve seen loyalty die faster than the storm clouds disappear, Watched the ones who swore forever slowly vanish in thin air. The same hands that begged for help are the first to let you go, Funny how the ones who need you most are the quickest to say no. Chorus: A heart is just an organ until it learns how to break, Until it knows what it means to give more than it takes. People run when they’re drowning, they reach when they’re in need, But when the water dries up… they forget you ever bleed. Bridge: So I’ve stopped counting on hands that only reach when they’re desperate, Real love doesn’t disappear the moment the storm is over. Outro: It’s your goddess… Zeirlith.
