Drum Beat 03/16/2019 Distant, it's another land Someone else's war Rumblings carried on the wind Too faint Far Not my land Still someone else's war Now I can hear the explosions Interspersing the beat Near It's distinct Still not my war Amongst a thousand The sound of a single bullet Close Deafening explosions Cracking, snapping, buzzing By the millions leaving the muzzles Whaling, screaming and even the whimpering But the beat is constant The beat is constant The whimpering, the screaming, The buzzing and the snapping Those explosions they are All in my head, and now It's my inescapable war And the drum beats Constantly
