Terrified Heart - Poe

Mother’s answering machine: HELLO.

NOBODY’S

HOME.

PLEASE LEAVE A MESSAGE

AFTER THE BEEP, AND SOMEBODY’LL GET BACK TO YOU.

Daughter:

Mom?

You there?

Are you sleeping?

I’m so bummed.

I’LL sing a little song AND MAYBE… you'll pick up:

Sometimes, I’m TERRIFIED of my heart

Of its constant hunger

For whatever it is it wants

(speaking) The way it stops…

…and starts.
