I play drums in the dark to the beat of my heart Mesuring patterns of time Each strike I blow is a drop in the sea Each drop is one of a kind Outside the rain has cooled down the night And now the streets shimmer and shine Inside my skin is a furnace so bright That all who look straight must go blind I play to stay awake till the new day breaks I play drums in the dark to scare of the shark
That follows the scent of my blood The prea**ure has grown, the walls crack and moan Under the weight of the flood Inside the rain is an ocean of pain Of every tear ever cried Outside my skin the room is a spin Like the dress of a runaway bride I play to stay awake I play to stay awake till the new day breaks
