I wake
I read
Another one drops
Enough

Enough

Enough

Enough

Shhh
Someone might hear
Turn their face away
Ignore the tears
Shhh
Someone might hear
Who’ll curse the delay
Ignore the blood stains
Shhh
Someone might hear
Who listens
Silence
Shhh
Someone might hear
Asks
Why is the drum played
With one hand

Shhh
Someone might hear
Maybe will try to explain
If another one drops
Really doesn’t matter
His drum is tattered
Weakened by too many tears
The drum’s death song fades
No one there to hear it

Silence
Do you hear it
