My Beating Heart (Early Mix, Lyrics) (Patreon)

My latest Firefly song was inspired by the episode "Objects in Space". The episode is rather existential. So my lyrics ended up similar. 

The song was largely written from River's perspective and cynically asks if we are all just objects of one another's affection.

My Beating Heart Lyrics

We're all just floating

Never comprehending

Feeling like

We are alone

Melting away

Less real every day

Simple objects

Unsure where we belong

But my beating heart is

One of a thousand parts

Each one is finely tuned just to you

You're more than a tender string 

You are my everything 

What in this whole wide

'verse am I to you

Don't know if I belong

But I feel a little stronger

Laying out 

All my fears for you

I gotta be brave

Use the tools of my trade

Hoping you will trust me to

To never fade away
