lyrics

Walk outside, breath in the air and choke on my own breath
This burning cold, bites my throat, and fills my lungs with death
Feel the creeping need, to cough and bleed, As pain fills up my neck
Can barely even stand on my feet, I think my ribs are about to crack

I just want, to feel a heartbeat inside
Is that such a crime
Oh please, tell me
What it means, to be
Warm inside, oh heart alive
What it means, to be
Warm inside, oh heart alive
Can you please, tell me

The binding cold, consumes me whole, knowing my weakness
And dagger points, burst from my joints, and poke holes in my flesh
The pain of years, blinds me with tears, and I draw my last breath
But the pain comes back, I guess I'm not dead, I should be used to it

I just want, to feel a heartbeat inside
Is that such a crime
Oh please, tell me
What it means, to be
Warm inside, oh heart alive
What it means, to be
Warm inside, oh heart alive
Can you please, tell me

Now the pain is gone, and I carry on, but to breath in is still a test
And though I feel myself again, I still would like to rest
My lack of sleep, and bruises deep, I might be missing a sense
But I must be moving on, or it'll be back again

I just want, to feel a heartbeat inside
Is that such a crime
Oh please, tell me
What it means, to be
Warm inside, oh heart alive
What it means, to be
Warm inside, oh heart alive
Can you please, tell me

Warm inside, oh heart alive
What it means, to be
Warm inside, oh heart alive
Can you please, tell me

Samuel Wittmayer

My name is Samuel Wittmayer. When I was 16 years old I decided that I wanted to start writing music. A year later I met with a producer to record my first song. That was the start of a four and a half year journey to create my debut album 'Red Hands'. For a long time I was unsure if this project would ever see it's completion, but now that it has it feels surreal. Please enjoy! ... more
