A Silent Drum

I pretend the only reason I am here
Is to be the one that you endear
Grab a hold of what you fear, and erase it all

Oh Mother, the world is wearing down
And you're the only thing I need
The only reason I can even keep my head below the clouds
Without you it's pointless, alone I am helpless
The air interrupted by the gases that we sow
I can barely recognize your face, oh how it use to glow
I cannot stand this fucking world

All alone here we are, I can feel your heart
As it beats a silent drum
Now my body's going numb
This isn't our end
As long as you're near me
I'm seeing clearly now
Let's live like it's just us
We can make the best
Of the world that they left us

Now I'm the one you trust
In the age of disgust I can help you conquer anything
We'll accomplish everything that comes
In the midst of the end of days
This is our time to persevere
Through the greatest evil known to man
The governing hand

Don't let me die, don't let it crush me inside
I only trust what these eyes can see
Son, just open up your eyes
And look past those glowing skies
Just recall those times that are keeping us alive (alive)

All alone here we are, I can feel your heart
As it beats a silent drum
Now my body's going numb
This isn't our end
As long as I'm near you
Nothing can tear you down

Let's live like it's just you and I
I can build us a home from what's left of our lives

Smoke fills my lungs as I awaken
In this hell we call home
But the more I reminisce of yesterday
I find we only need each other
Not a sister nor a brother

All alone here we are, I can feel your heart
As it beats a silent drum
Now my body's going numb
All alone here we are, I can feel your heart
As it beats a silent drum
Now my body's going numb

This isn't our end
As long as I'm near you
Nothing can tear you down
Let's live like it's just you and I
I can build us a home from what's left of our lives
