I pound my chest
1-2-1 check…
For the heart in my chest
Some things are hard to digest
Sometimes its hard to get rest
Sometimes its like I’m possessed
Can’t fly, a bird chained to its nest
Dreams locked up and under arrest
I pound my chest
1-2-1 check…
For the heart in my chest
Have I failed, or have I passed the test?
Am I of the worst, or am I of the best?
Searching for the light on this tiring quest
It can cause one to be highly stressed
And often feeling acutely depressed
I pound my chest
1-2-1 check
Pound to see if it works
Pound to see if it pumps
Pound so I keep going strong
Pound so I keep moving along
Wounds are fresh, and things are clear
Even though its now been years
Experiences bring us to new frontiers
Whether they involve joy or tears
I’ve built upon my past mistakes
Moved beyond friends that were fake
In the wrong lane, so I hit the brakes
Had to snap out of it and awake
I pound my chest
1-2-1 check…
For my heart that beats
My heart feels so incomplete
I’m becoming intolerant to the heat
Too many memories I’d like to delete
Too many experiences I wouldn’t repeat
I pound my chest
1-2-1 check…
For my heart that beats
Standing now on solid concrete
Wondering about the lies and deceit
Why did you take away the ground beneath?
If you were a friend… why did you retreat?
The dots of the stories fully meet
Walking alone through the lonely street
Some things are bitter, some things are sweet
I pound my chest
1-2-1 check
