There’s a faint kind of ticking within my heart
And it’s been just ticking from the start
I don’t know what it is and why it’s there
But I know one thing’s sure, it sure ain’t fair

There’s a steampunk heart beating in my chest
And it’s absolutely nothing like the rest
These mechanics, they work in mysterious ways
That put my poor emotions in a foggy haze

What am I to do with this robot inside?
That won’t let me feel and won’t let me hide
I wanna love you so deeply but I don’t how
I wanna feel that warmth that my heart won’t allow

There’s a steampunk heart beating in my chest
And it’s absolutely nothing like the rest
These mechanics, they work in mysterious ways
That put my poor emotions in a foggy haze

Ohh what am I to do?
And ohh I’m so in love with you
But the non-existent beating
Coming from between my lungs
Is driving me insane and it doesn’t belong

There’s a steampunk heart beating in my chest
And it’s absolutely nothing like the rest
These mechanics, they work in mysterious ways
That put my poor emotions in a foggy haze

Put my poor emotions in a foggy haze.
