Heartbeat

It’s like a heartbeat,
The cold air entering your lungs �"
Weakened by smoke and crystals,
Encased in a chemical seal,
Blood mixed with spit �"
Makes you wonder,
Doesn’t it?

It’s like a heartbeat, 
The cold ground upon your bare feet �" 
Weakened by steel and fire, 
Encased in torn leather, 
Blood mixed with dirt �"  
Makes you regret, 
Doesn’t it? 

It’s like a heartbeat, 
The cold metal lingers in your hands �" 
Weakened by scars and burns, 
Encased in a broken restraint, 
Blood mixed with steel �" 
Makes you remember, 
Doesn’t it? 

It’s like a heartbeat, 
I swear, 
It’s like a heartbeat �" 
Sometimes it’s there, 
Most times, 
It’s not…
