about

Closing out the series of songs by Covey referred to as “The Body Series” where body parts are taken and used to represent trauma, and it’s slow mutation towards mental illness. Twitching Heart is a song that runs through all the states a heart can experience, with it’s tempered and calm beginning, at ease within the body, content and relaxed - only to be interrupted by an anxious stammering as the drums, fuzzed out bass and erratic vocals enter, pushing the song into a state of panic, frantic like a rapid heart beat brought on by that cold chill down your sternum after bad news. The song moves to the calmest point yet, as the beat slows, yet grows in impact to a triumphant ending, pushing it to it’s loudest point, callng out to previous body series songs that Twitching Heart has fueled throughout the years.

I wanted to write a song that touched on all shapes that my well being has taken over the years. My mental health has gone through so many ups and downs from addiction masking trauma that has only grown stronger over the years as I mention in the fast paced part of the song, to acceptance of death, a quick escape from the chaos in my chest and finally appreciation for those around me, and the fact that i’m still around. I all too often take it for granted, and I shouldn’t.

lyrics

Twitching heart
Tell me the truth
Tell me I’m done for
And this broken body’s
Beggin’ for a clue.

Twitching Heart
Let’s lose ourselves
In static on the television
‘Cause this is just insanity
Through repetition
I’m pretty certain
I’m a guaranteed catastrophe

Twitching Heart

I need you to keep it together
‘Cause I don’t plan on going sober
I can’t control it as I get older
So is it too late to say
I only learn the hard way

Like taking hits from Elite Four’s Pocket Monsters
Leaving me with the darkest perspective
From my black, red and blue
Twitching Heart

When this is done and overdue
I’ll give my body back to you
And your thoughts will soak my skin
And slowly take me home

Better luck next time
Better luck
We’ll have better luck next time
Better luck
We’ll have better luck next time
Better luck
We’ll have better luck next time

I guess we end this on a broken note
Like Karaoke at the bar that night
When we found comfort in the choked out lights
And carpet flour
That called itself our home

You said I live in either black or white
And that you’ve never seen me satisfied
I guess I find it hard to see the joy in the simple things
Like the feeling of breaking down
Or the fact that i’m still around

Fractured Brain
Sometimes you drown with loved ones there to watch
You can’t catch a break, when you’re bending backwards
This could be, my funeral home
The lego charmander

Twitching Heart
Let’s lose ourselves
In static on the television
‘Cause this is just insanity
Through repetition
I’m pretty certain
I’m a guaranteed catastrophe

We’ll have better luck next time
Better luck
We’ll have better luck next time
Better luck
We’ll have better luck next time
