The Blows of My Heartbeat

Who knows where the wicked, wicked wind blows Who knows, but it does show...it does show aglow That there’s a glow, glow, glow in your eyes, I know The winter wind blows as the burning rose flows Sweat on my brow, I live in the now I want to show you somehow That I’m stronger than I realize, I’m not alone And I’m not a failure Sweat on my brow, I live in the now I want to let you know I’m taking a bow I’m no longer on my lows and highs I’m on my own And I’m but a jailure The blows of my heartbeat Is pushing me farther away from you tonight The blows of my heartbeat Is full throttling faster than the speed of light The blows of my heartbeat Is gushing out of the waterfalls of my veins The blows of my heartbeat Is free-falling faster than the fastest car in the fast lanes Come find me in the midst of a misery mindset Come behind me and follow me with no regret The blows of my heartbeat beats for you alone, for you alone for you alone When you’re gone, know that you’re not on your own, you’re not on your own For, God’s Your backbone Sweat on my brow, I live in the now I want to show you somehow That I’m stronger than I realize, I’m not alone And I’m not a failure Sweat on my brow, I live in the now I want to let you know I’m taking a bow I’m no longer on my lows and highs I’m on my own And I’m but a jailure The blows of my heartbeat Is pushing me farther away from you tonight The blows of my heartbeat Is full throttling faster than the speed of light The blows of my heartbeat Is gushing out of the waterfalls of my veins The blows of my heartbeat Is free-falling faster than the fastest car in the fast lanes Chasing your embrace Chasing your haze of happiness Losing the race of grace Crazy over your grazing gladness Tracing your tears against my cheeks Your spirit of loneliness speaks...speaks... To me in its lonesome vibes of broken dreams, unspoken beams At its broken seems Sweat on my brow, I live in the now I want to show you somehow That I’m stronger than I realize, I’m not alone And I’m not a failure Sweat on my brow, I live in the now I want to let you know I’m taking a bow I’m no longer on my lows and highs I’m on my own And I’m but a jailure The blows of my heartbeat Is pushing me farther away from you tonight The blows of my heartbeat Is full throttling faster than the speed of light The blows of my heartbeat Is gushing out of the waterfalls of my veins The blows of my heartbeat Is free-falling faster than the fastest car in the fast lanes Feel free to take away my freedom, my freedom of my heart beat blowing and beating He will give me a creative Kingdom, a let-go-and-let-give Kingdom not at all fleeting Shield away the vanity from our lives, from our lives of beauty untold We are like busy, busy bees in our hives; let our golden wings unfold Sweat on my brow, I live in the now I want to show you somehow That I’m stronger than I realize, I’m not alone And I’m not a failure Sweat on my brow, I live in the now I want to let you know I’m taking a bow I’m no longer on my lows and highs I’m on my own And I’m but a jailure The blows of my heartbeat Is pushing me farther away from you tonight The blows of my heartbeat Is full throttling faster than the speed of light The blows of my heartbeat Is gushing out of the waterfalls of my veins The blows of my heartbeat Is free-falling faster than the fastest car in the fast lanes Scatterbrained in the weeds of your desolation Refrain from driving me insane in your isolation Unkind silence breaks us all and we make a fall The blows of my heartbeat grows on and grows so tall
