The Rush

Heartbeats louder than the room Every second passing too soon Mind running in a thousand ways Trying to guess what’s gonna change Hands cold, breathing thin Standing right on the edge again Funny how we want control When the unknown steals it all And in that moment time stands still You love the fear, you hate the thrill It’s the rush running under my skin The silence before it all begins Every nerve lighting up at once Like my heartbeat’s taking over Then it hits, then it breaks Then your whole body starts to shake Whether you lose or whether you win Nothing feels like the rush within Every door before it opens Every word before it’s spoken Every answer still unknown Makes your mind become a storm And we say we hate the feeling But we chase it all the same ‘Cause somewhere in the chaos We feel more alive that way* Right before the pressure falls You can almost hear your pulse It’s the rush running under my skin The silence before it all begins Every nerve lighting up at once Like my heartbeat’s taking over Then it hits, then it breaks Then your whole body starts to shake Whether you lose or whether you win Nothing feels like the rush within Maybe that’s what makes us human Holding breath before the truth hits One second changes everything From fear to tears to laughing And no matter how it ends We’ll still chase that feeling again It’s the rush running under my skin The moment before the world kicks in Every thought moving way too fast Praying somehow this feeling lasts Then it fades, then it lands You’re trembling with it in your hands Whether it breaks or pulls you in Nothing feels like the rush within We love it We hate it Still we chase it again
