Arrhythmia

babom-bom-babom Can you hear it?
babom-bom-babom It wakes me without warning.
babom-bom-babom My eyes are thrown open,
babom-bom-babom shades drawn to this new world.
babom-bom-babom It's dark, not yet light out.
babom-bom-babom The panic comes creeping.
babom-bom-babom Is it the cause, or the effect?
babom-bom-babom I never quite know.
babom-bom-babom My chest shakes, I can't stop it.
babom-bom-babom My body no longer keeps time,
babom-bom-babom in this new reality,
babom-bom-babom where nothing ever feels "right."
babom-bom-babom An ever present reminder,
babom-bom-babom that something is missing.
babom-bom-babom My body is different.
babom-bom-babom I am different.
babom-bom-babom Changed organically.
babom-bom-babom Baby do you hear it?
babom-bom-babom That beat that my heart is missing.
babom-bom-babom Gone with your last breath.
babom-bom-babom My sweet child, that's you.
