MOONSEA

[Intro/Pre-verse 1 - Rat provides hook] 

[Verse 1 - Rat attempts first person narrative] 

We run blistered 
through the dead end verse 
for the twisting of threads 
and the quenching of thirst 
She ripped open my chest 
and she blessed the beating heart of a rat 
Heart of a rat 
We make vocal, 
the unflinching stare 
If you don't get that feeling, 
there's something worth stealing 
In the depths of my chest 
she caressed the beating heart of a rat 
Heart of a rat 

[Pre-chorus 1A/2A - Rat is spotted] 

A rat, a rat, a rat 

[Pre-chorus 1B/2B - Rat attempts remorse, gets denial] 

(And lastly...) 
I don't wanna talk about it 
(And lastly...) 
I don't want to see 
(And lastly...) 
I don't wanna talk about it [x2] 

[Chorus 1/2 - Various rats warble above their natural range] 

Because she loves me, everything is fine 
Because she loves me, I don't wanna die 
Because she loves me, everything is fine 
Because she loves me, I don't wanna die 

[Pre-verse 2 - Rat favours ascending guitar line followed by sticky amelodic pulses] 

[Verse 2 - Rat attempts psychoanalysis] 

You want distance 
from the sickly sweet 
Long live the sinners 
who can hold down a beat 
And the thoughts I expressed 
did confess the beating heart of a rat 
Heart of a rat 
Sweet ignorance 
Way over in the depths of my chest 
At the moment you dressed, 
I could rest the beating heart of a rat 
Heart of a rat 

[Pre-chorus 3A/4A - Rat cannot hide from self] 

A rat, a rat, a rat 

[Pre-chorus 3B/4B - Rat cannot hide from guilt] 

(And lastly...) 
I don't wanna talk about it 
(And lastly...) 
I don't want to see 
(And lastly...) 
I don't wanna talk about it [x2] 

[Chorus 3/4 - Various rats seek solace in yet more warbling] 

Because she loves me, everything is fine 
Because she loves me, I don't wanna die 
Because she loves me, everything is fine 
Because she loves me, I don't wanna die 

[Pre-verse 3 - Rat favours short ascent followed by seemingly ironic shredding and trashy half-step cadence] 

[Verse 3 - Rat attempts philosophy] 

We are wasted 
and we dance in vain 
For once you've existed, you'll never again 
But for all that it's worth, 
find rebirth in the heart of a rat 
Heart of a rat 
Sweet ignorance 
Long live the lovers who never see sense 

[Outro - Ratentando] 

In the depths of my chest, 
lay supressed, the beating heart of a rat 
Heart of a rat

Heart of a Rat
