in the heart

in
out
in
out
damn atrium can't keep up
in
out
in
out
ventricle slows down to match it
stupid, stupid ventricle
don't give in that pressure
don't let the other side
manipulate you like that
pump
pump hard
in
out
in
out
whatcha tryin' to do?
cause a heart attack?
an aneurysm?
you want to die?
just cause the freaking atrium can't get it right?
spend some time with the brain sometime
being dead ain't gonna be fun
pump
pump hard
in
out
in
out
make the atrium submit
live
don't give in to the pressure
