LYRICS The drum beats like a heartbeat in your chest Your heads on fire your souls at rest 
 Hear the tempo rise and your pulse rise up to meet it

 Feel the air tense up in waves
 I’ve had a long fucking day 
 Pressure builds
 As the drum fill
 Begins to pound faster until

 A moment of calm 
Some time to breath 
The sigh 
Before  
The storm  

Face to face and heart to heart 
Almost touching, worlds apart
 There is cleansing in 
The sweat, the sound, the screaming

 The crash of cymbals tears the air
 The roll of toms the crack of snare
 The pressure builds  
As the drum fill
 Begins to pound faster until

 A moment of calm
 Some time to breath
 The sigh 
Before 
The storm

 I wanna free myself and break the chains that bind me 
Will you lend your voice and lose yourself and find me  

Tomorrows round the corner
 But tonight could last forever 
 We'll never know until it’s over

 Feel the beating of the drum Feel the beating of the drum Feel the beating of the drum Feel the beating of the drum I wanna free myself
 and break the chains that bind me
 Will you lend your voice and lose yourself and find me  
I Wanna close my eyes
 and leave the world behind me
 Will you come move with me and feel the beat inside me Will you still be with me when the wave breaks and this all comes to an end

about

This song was inspired by the situation it was born in - standing behind a till for the umpteenth hour that day, staring out at the shop floor, waiting for the moment when I could put on my coat, walk out that door, and head to the nearest show.

A lot of our songs are political in nature, looking outward to the world around us. This song looks a little more inward.

Sometimes a beat is all you need.
