Lyric

Still moving, still dim

Still here, not lit

My chest keeps time

With almost none of it

The room was bright enough

For other people’s eyes

I nodded at the right things

And kept my answer quiet

Somebody laughed beside me

I learned the shape too late

My mouth arrived with something

My heart could not translate

Still moving, still dim

Still here, not lit

There is a light in me

But it keeps itself low

I’ve got a low voltage heart

It still beats, but it won’t burn bright

I can stand inside the room

But I cannot find the light

I answer when they ask me

I turn my face on time

I carry out the small things

And leave myself behind

There used to be a weather

That moved across my skin

Now everything comes softer

And takes too long to begin

Still moving, still dim

Still here, not lit

I am not empty

I am running dim

I am not broken open

I am not made of stone

I just cannot spend the fire

I used to call my own

If I seem calm beside you

Do not mistake the part

There is a small current left

Inside this low voltage heart

I’ve got a low voltage heart

It still beats, but it won’t burn bright

I can stand inside the room

But I cannot find the light

I’ve got a low voltage heart

Not dead, not fully gone

Just saving what is left of me

To make it through the dawn

Still moving, still dim

Still here, not lit

There is a light in me

And I am keeping it
