Heartbeat

[Michael]

Listen, if you like.

Heartbeat, no one cares,
everybody’s worrying about their own affairs.
Heartbeat, no one hears it.
Everybody knows it’s there but no one fears it.

It’s not hard to understand
why the people say,
“Freedom isn’t free”
if they’re not the ones who pay.

Teardrop, does no one feel you?
Though I know that you are real, do they all know too?
Teardrop, has no one met you?
If they lose someone who’s close they won’t forget you.

It’s not hard to understand
why the people say,
“Freedom isn’t free”
if they’re not the ones who pay.

Angry people shouting at them from a crowd
Why must all the people shout so loud?

Angry people shouting at them from a crowd
Why must all the people shout so loud?

Angry people shouting at them from a crowd
Why must all the people shout so loud?

Angry people shouting at them from a crowd
Why must all the people shout so loud?

Gunfire, does no one hear you?
The only time you bother someone’s when they’re near you.
Gunfire, for scores that you meet,
you’re a thief that steals a life and stops a hearbeat.

It’s not hard to understand
why the people lie,
“Freedom isn’t free”
if they’re not the ones who die.

It’s not hard to understand
why the people say,
“Freedom isn’t free”
if they’re not the ones who pay.

To friendship,
Michael

Thanks for reading, well, I guess you listened unless, of course, you just imagined that I produced this well. Your kind words are always meaningful to me, LR, albeit I’m Michael-come-lately with my responses to replies (or is it replies to responses?).

To friendship,
Michael
