In my head
The catalyst
Then it begins like drums building
Getting closer to you
The catalyst is a lack of control
It is a question I can't answer
And conflict I can't resolve
And in my head the drums build
The drums are repeating the same problem
A million times
In a million ways
The same rhythm repeats and repeats because I don't know the next line
I don't know how to change the beat
I'm trying so hard to solve the problem
That I'm tired from beating that drum
I'm tired, I ache, I need to go to sleep
But I'm trying to solve the problem
It won't stop until it's solved!
Or...
Until someone says...
It's ok Matt, it doesn't matter, we still care about you. Let someone else change the rhythm for you.
And then I'm fine
And I can sleep
and I can bang
whatever
rhythms
I feel like banging
I'm at peace again
And all I want is to hold them and let it all go
