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
