In the Beat

Pulse in my chest, heart doing double-dutch

Feet tap the ground, earth’s feeling out of touch

Drums in my veins, bloodline percussion

Time slipping quick, but I’m stuck in discussion

Neon lights flicker, shadows play chess

Every move calculated, but I still second-guess

Smoke in the air, lungs feeling tight

Lost in the rhythm, chasing the night

In the beat, where the world falls away

In the beat, let the sound lead the sway

In the beat, hear the thump, feel the heat

Lose control, find your soul, in the beat

Bassline deep, like secrets I never told

Kicks hit harder than a story too bold

Snare snaps sharp, cutting through the haze

Life’s a looped sample, stuck on replay

Lights strobe wild, kaleidoscope maze

Mind's spinning vinyl, every thought ablaze

Drop’s coming heavy, no time to retreat

Caught in the cyclone, living in the beat

Spiraling, spiraling, caught in the sound

Gravity’s gone, no tether to the ground

Build me up, tear me down, I’m electric

Circuit fried, still alive, it’s kinetic
