Like A Drum

Three breathless words
Fall on to deaf ears
Like a thousand lost spirits
Desperate need to be seen

Baby unlock me
Release me from my thoughts
Ignore our twisted history
And I'm forever yours

I've never waged a war
That didn't need to be waged
So say what you want
But don't shirk your blame

I've never spoke a word
That didn't need to be said
So I never find the ones
You need to hear instead

I kinda like the light
That keeps flickering
It reminds me of a time
I thought I'd imagined

We had no money but
Our veins rushed with blood
And the pulse of life
Beat through our chests like a drum

They're selling perfection
Where truth was once sold
Sell them your inhibitions
And shine your fools gold

Our eternal indecision
Serves to cripple our belief
Can we make it through a weekend without declaring our defeat

Hope is a dangerous game
The only one we have played
Forever changing the rules
But the victor remains the same

The cuts on our dignity
The scars on our heart
Seem to lose all meaning
With to much time spent apart

I kinda like the nights
When the silence creeps in
It makes me think of a time
I thought I imagined

We had no idea but
Our veins rushed with blood
And the pulse of life
Beat through our chests like a drum
