Let Babylon Burn - Beat Heart Beat

You…
I’ve been carrying this wild idea,
What if we drop the armor for once
Stand here bare, no escape plan near?
Just lean in and see what comes
And you…
Let’s throw the whole damn rulebook out,
All or nothing, here and now
If fortune’s kind or fortune’s cruel,
At least we showed up heart-first, not careful
’Cause
I’ve always slammed the door
Before the story ever starts
One foot stepping in,
The other running from my own heart
But tonight?
Tonight
I’m letting the beast loose in my chest
So beat, heart, beat —
Hit me holy, hit me bruised and sweet
Give me more than
I can carry,
More than
I can keep
Beat, heart, beat…
Beat like you believe in something
Wait…
Is this too good, too bright, too warm
The version of me before
Would’ve bolted at the first soft storm
But he doesn’t get to drive tonight —
Not one more mile, not one more fight
So kiss me like the camera’s rolling
Like the world’s not watching, only evening is.
Hold me reckless, hold me real
If you leave tomorrow,
Let me at least have this
So beat, heart, beat —
Hit me holy, hit me bruised and sweet
Give me more than
I can carry
More than
I can keep.
Beat, heart, beat
Shake my ribs, rewrite my fate,
For if it breaks, at least we gave
More than everything we had to give.
Beat, heart, beat
Beat as hard as you can right now —
If we shatter, let it thunder
If we fall, let it be from grace,
Not fear, not silence, not going under
Beat, heart, beat —
Paint me blue, paint me gold
If the world caves in, we’ll face the fold
Beat, heart, beat —
Strike the drum inside my chest
And if it breaks, then let it break
Knowing we dared
We burned,
We blessed
Beat, heart, beat…
Beat, heart, beat…
