Broken Drum (Don't Stop The Beat)

Steady heartbeat

As you drum

It out

 

Beat

Beat

Beat

 

Just like that

Just like this

 

Just like you

I can’t take

Anymore

 

Of the resounding

            Vibrations

 

Heartbeat to drum beat

 

Drum, beat to the Heartbeat

Heart, beat to the drumbeat

 

Can you taste this rhythm

Feel the tap

            Tap

        Tapping

 

As the fingers patter

Against the glass

            Who’s at the window

            Who’s at the door

 

Smash the drum

To stop the beat

How inconsequential

It seems

At first

 

But now I can’t hear

Or maybe it’s just

That now the beat has stopped

 

All that’s left is

A broken drum

 

A broken heart

(Don’t stop the beat)
