Drums & Heartbeats

Stuck in the day
So long the light
Has left my skin pale white

We’re caught in a wave
Formed of sound
There’s no need for love

His beating drums
Their called out rhythms
Would shock you by his thoughts
Wide open

But I am closing
I need to be free
How can I stay asleep
With all these
Drums and heartbeats

How can you breathe
Your lungs are full
Of history and
Scattered seas

I’ve lied to you
More than it seems
Oh, I am nothing
Without faith

Lost in the Cold War
Past mistakes
And poor decisions
On my part

Come play now
So, how we must forget
Or I will take my own life
Before I’m 24 years old
I’m growing tired

Faster than I care
To deny or admit
I am fading, oh
I am fading, oh
I am fading, oh
I am fading, oh
I am fading, oh
I am fading, oh
I am fading, oh
I am fading, oh
I am fading
