120 BPM

My heart beats at

as if racing towards a finishing line
daring to leave just the ashes behind
like a fire greedy to burn the time
120 beats per minute my heart beats at

ready to jump from a cliff so high
not caring whether i live or if i die
giving me away whenever i tell a lie
120 beats per minute my heart beats at

what is there on the other side
how can i still feel you by my side
a soulless void you are in the night
120 beats per minute my heart beats at

in the stormy seas i keep raging alone
riding the waves as they come along
beating the odds but for how long
120 beats per minute my heart beats at
