Between The Beats

Fingers on a wrist Counting every rise and fall Something in between More than what we feel at all In the space before the next When time stands still... What lives in silence between the beats? What lives in silence between? (What lives, what lives...) What lives in silence between the beats? When everything holds its breath Two hearts side by side One strong, one barely there Passing through the veil Like water through my hands, aware In the space before the next When time stands still... What lives in silence between the beats? What lives in silence between? (What lives, what lives...) What lives in silence between the beats? When everything holds its breath Where do we go? In the spaces... When the rhythm stops... All voices In the quiet... Every pulse we count Numbers adding up to now Spaces growing wide Between each sacred vow What lives in silence between the beats? What lives in silence between? (What lives... what lives...) What lives in silence between the beats? When everything... Holds... Its... Breath... Between... between... between...
