My Heart Is a Beating Drum

Haunting sorrows, burning heartaches and pain

You seem to wash away

All that follows, memories n' yesterdays

You give another take

You make it lighter, you bring on spring

With you I feel like I can do anything

With you I'll fly away

Can you hear the distant echo

Can you hear the constant hum

Your song’s the color

My heart is a beating drum

No way I’ll ever let go

For you I’m on the run

Your flight's the solo

My heart is a beating drum

Sweet molasses, brewing dark oblivion

Dress my soul in your serenity

Empty shadows, traces after you're gone

N' I'm all alone in the city

You broke the seal, you made the sacrifice

Seasons fall before they turn to rise

With you I'll fly away

Can you hear the distant echo

Can you hear the constant hum

Your song’s the color

My heart is a beating drum

(Ain’t) No way I’ll ever let go

For you I’m on the run

Your flight's the solo

My heart is a beating drum

I'm the one pulling your strings, but you’re no marionette

Sticking needles in the pins, I follow no etiquette

You are the soul in the soul of a moment, you are my only safe bet

You are the hope when it says the end

You are the tears that I'll shed
