Back to the Beat

[Verse] Used to hate the sticks in my hand Threw 'em down like they burned the land Swore I'd never play that game But here I am with the fire aflame [Verse 2] The cymbals crashed in my veins today The snare drum called It begged me to stay My heartbeat matches the rhythm’s yell Guess I’m back under music’s spell [Chorus] Back to the beat I used to despise Can’t escape the way it electrifies Tried to run but it pulled me near The rhythm's rage is loud and clear [Verse 3] I buried the kit in the attic’s dust Left it to rust like a broken trust But music don’t die It waits in the rain And now I’m pounding out my pain [Bridge] Every tom hit shakes my soul awake Every crash feels like the earth might break The hate's gone now It's a love I found I'm alive in every wicked sound [Chorus] Back to the beat I used to despise Can’t escape the way it electrifies Tried to run but it pulled me near The rhythm's rage is loud and clear
