Metronome

I used my heart to make a metronome 
A rhythm standing on it's own 
And in the end I never heard at all 
Just silence echoing down the hall 

Back and forth goes to the steady beat 
One and two, love and hate, then repeat 
Lost and found in the eyes of yesterday
But between now and then I've already begun to change

I used my memories to make the fire rise 
Until the flames reached heaven in the skies 
A kingdom in the clouds I cannot see 
But maybe the one not looking hard enough is me
