The Purplehouse Effect

There's a purplehouse effect
That's been allowed to infiltrate.

Sudden overexertion of emotions
Is leading to a heating up
Of the muscles around the heart
And the nerves stemming from the brain.

We believe the cause of this heating
Stems from chemicals
That the brain gets tricked into creating
When breathing the air of idealistic love
Without regulating a sense of reality

When enough of this imbalance is present,
A change in the heart's core temperature is inevitable,

Except unlike the greenhouse effect,
After enough temperature pressure
Has been applied to the heart,
The heart will lose heat and grow cold.

Temperature will continue to decrease
Until the subject remembers
That love is only a feeling,
And, like all feelings, its lasting is finite.
Then and only then
Will the heart heat back to a normal temperature
