My alert heart is racing, beating fast,
Praying and hoping to not arrive last...

I'm sick of all your crying,
You just keep on pouting...

Verse 1: What will I do now that you're gone?
It's like my life was taken away...

I felt my blood rushing through my skin,
Something was going to happen...

Beyond the shadows lies a creature so horrid,
That all who hears its sinister name spoken...

I don't want to face it, not one bit,
There's nothing that I need to admit...

Consistent drumming,
Instruments shyly humming...

Gnawing at my mind forever,
Never recoiling from view...

African choir,
Pat their small drums in rhythm...

You deeply yearn just for a night,
To have reality vanish...

Pitter patter pat,
Wet droplets knock on rooftops...

Warm sun,
Wakes from slumber...
