The Rise & Fall

After hours into the street I'm stumbling, the rain is singin' A melody, and like a seed It grows in me, just like desire Feed new life into the fire Chew me up and spit me out I'm a taste of what is coming Conjuring the memory It's magical and tastes like wine Breathe new life into the fire I keep the beat in the palm of my hand I can measure the rise, the fall, the rhythm of the band I know where it's goin' better than anyone else I know what it wants better than I even know myself Pushing it forward, pulling it back The rush of release, the thrill of attack Holding the beat in the palm of my hand I can measure the rise, the fall, the rhythm of the band The rise, the fall, the rhythm of the band Intimate and sensory Tanglin' in frantic whispers Mischievous this devilry Secretly we hold each other Feel new life grow like desire Take your turn and write the scene You and I must dance together Feed me with your energy Sink into the deepest rhythm And give new life into the fire I keep the beat in the palm of my hand I can measure the rise, the fall, the rhythm of the band I know where it's goin' better than anyone else I know what it wants better than I even know myself Pushing it forward, pulling it back The rush of release, the thrill of attack Holding the beat in the palm of my hand I can measure the rise, the fall, the rhythm of the band The rise, the fall, the rhythm of the band The push, the pull, the rise, the fall The give, the take, the bones shake The in, the out, the scream, the shout The give, the take, the bones shake The push, the pull, the rise, the fall The give, the take, the bones shake The in, the out, the scream, the shout The give, the take, pulls us together Pushing it forward, pulling it back The rush of release, the thrill of attack Holding the beat in the palm of my hand I can measure the rise, the fall, the rhythm of the band The rise, the fall, the rhythm of the band
