Lyrics
It wasn't rage not really not hate not hunger not love
Just the sound of him breathing with that eye wide and wet like it knew me
I waited waited til the moon curled quiet and the ticking slowed
And the shadows forgot themselves
Then I opened his sleep with careful hands
With mercy with something colder than mercy
It beats I know it does
Through the dust through the floor
It beats like war drums
It beats like judgment
It won't stop not even now
They came asking I served them tea with unshaking hands
I smiled I smiled but that sound
Was louder than the words than the plates than the world outside the door
Every board beneath my feet knows the rhythm every nail in this room
Taps the pattern
Each moment a chorus of heartbeats
No silence no peace
I buried it neat I buried it deep
But you don't bury sound you don't bury sin
You live with it it grows into the walls
It beats it beats by God it beats
Like thunder in my throat
Like chains behind the eyes
It beats
It won't die
