Jeyffa - Stitched-Back Heart

folk, Gothic chamber pop with male vocals; slow, waltz-time pulse built on pipe organ and close-mic’d string quartet, Verses stay hushed with tremolo violins and sparse left-hand organ; chorus swells into warm chords, wide vibrato strings, and intimate backing “ahs, ” Subtle creaks, room reverb, and breathy vocal delivery emphasize candlelit tenderness over horror; final refrain tapers to a soft solo organ cadence, violin, happy

[Verse 1] Dust in the hallway Moon on the broken glass Candles in test tubes Names carved in yellowed graphs You on the table Patchwork and clumsy tall Stitches like constellations Running down your chest and arms [Chorus] Stitched-back heart Do you know me? Blink once for yes And you’re smiling softly You lean down far Two heads above me Scars everywhere But your eyes still love me [Verse 2] Hands made of strangers Still shaking the way you did Jaw from a soldier Can’t shape the words like a kid You try to say something It tumbles out All wrong So you laugh that lopsided laugh And hum our half-forgotten song (mm-hm) [Chorus] Stitched-back heart Do you know me? Blink once for yes And you’re smiling softly You lean down far Two heads above me Scars everywhere But your eyes still love me [Bridge] You lift me easy Like I’m paper Like I’m air (hey) Your forehead to mine Metal staples in your hair I whisper the stories You forgot out there in dirt You touch your chest Where the borrowed ribs still hurt [Chorus] Stitched-back heart Do you know me? Blink once for yes And you’re smiling softly You bend in half Just to reach me Rest that heavy head Where it used to be Stitched-back heart It was never pretty But here in this castle Your monster loves me
