The tenth and penultimate track on The Amity Affliction’s fifth studio album effort, the song is built on a conversation between Joel Birch (the band’s lead vocalist) and his depression.
[Verse 1: Joel Birch]
Tell me if I go, come back another day
Will you forgive me then? Will you let me stay?
I'm testing your patience, I'm fueling your pain
But I swear that I'm different, I'm willing to change
[Pre-Chorus: Joel Birch]
Will you forgive yourself when you know what I've done?
Will you stop and reflect or continue to run?
So I can cower and weep, I can crumble and die
Or send you back to your hell and get on with my life
[Chorus: Ahren Stringer]
Show me some proof that your black heart even beats
Show me your dreams, show me your fears and let me hear your screams
Pull your head from the clouds, come back down to your feet
Show me your dreams, show me your fears, show me your black heart beats
[Post-Chorus: Joel Birch]
Show me your black heart beats
[Verse 2: Joel Birch]
I know I've made my mistakes, I know what you'll say
I need to pull it together and seize the day
So if I come back tomorrow and I swear I can change
Will you know me then? Will you know my face?
[Pre-Chorus: Joel Birch]
Will you forgive yourself when you know what I've done?
Will you stop and reflect or continue to run?
So I can cower and weep, I can crumble and die
Or send you back to your Hell and get on with my life
[Chorus: Ahren Stringer]
Show me some proof that your black heart even beats
Show me your dreams, show me your fears and let me hear your screams
Pull your head from the clouds, come back down to your feet
Show me your dreams, show me your fears, show me your black heart beats
[Bridge: Joel Birch]
I am inside you, and you're inside of me
I am your laughter, your pain, your love, your misery
I've written the letters, I've ground down my teeth
Now it's time to let go, so say farewell to me
I am inside you, and you're inside of me
I am your misery
Death to misery, ouw
[Chorus: Ahren Stringer]
Show me some proof that your black heart even beats
Show me your dreams, show me your fears and let me hear your screams
Pull your head from the clouds, come back down to your feet
Show me your dreams, show me your fears, show me your black heart beats
[Outro: Ahren Stringer]
Show me your black heart beats
Show me your black heart beats
Pull your head from the clouds, come back down to your feet
Show me your dreams, show me your fear, show me your black heart beats
