empty child

[sansysans]

weigh the heart of this empty child
watch it begging for demise
with each beat it will destroy her
with each thrump it tells a lie thump
because how can her heart be beating
when she doesnt feel alive doesn't, if the grammar is something you're looking to rework[b]

I love the last two lines; they close with great impact. But I feel it perhaps contradicts the prior lines which says that her heart is beating.
