Passion for the music

How could I be so blind?
How could I let myself
Lose myself
To such a deranged passion.

Slap the hi-hat
Bang the bass drum
Crash the crash
Just forget those evil thoughts.

Yet they stay
Forever
No matter how much I try
I need to play.

I shouldn’t be here,
I shouldn’t try it,
No.
I have to do it.

Hold the fret
Strum the note
Whammy the whammy
I can’t do it.

Temptation is beyond me
I can’t give in but
I must.
I have to.

People say I’m stupid
Some say I’m pathetic
But my passion is my own
No one else’s.

Slam the sharp
Press the flat
Hold the chord
I am alive again.
