I Hate my Heart

from Cut Glass by Coz the Shroom

about

This song has existed in one form or another for years and has been a classic part of my live act, especially when I have no band. This is the only track on the album that wasn't a 100% new recording. The drums and bass were recorded in 2002 as backing tracks for live/with CD accompaniment performances. Two wives, Diana and Phyllis were the inspirations to this song, as well as my now deceased and undeserving abusive exgirlfriend.

lyrics

I hate my heart baby, unlikely love may be
just what it plans when it hides in the dark.
Wakes me from apathy, puts crazy fears in me
burns like a fire when it's only a spark
but I'll call for you, anytime my heart has room
and I'll sing for you, I can lose my soul to you
defy the brain, it will tell you love's insane!
It will cast you into never ending pain!
I hate hate my heart lover, covers what dreams cover
brings crazy lights but I'm still in the darkness
calls me from restlessness
drives me from sleep to tests, aims for my brain, fires flame to the mark.
So I'll drive for you till the road is lost and blue
I will always search for you I believe my heart is true
escape the brain
it will say that love's insane
til I sing I don't really hate my heart I hate my brain
we're gonna be together forever, and I don't hate my heart...
