Flooded Drums


If someone gave you permission, would you come rushing?
If they told you you had the freedom to work on it, would you do it with a smile on your face?

What about the tools you'll use?
Would I feel a thing?
Physical pain?
Or just the common anxiety...?

If I told you I'm letting you seduce me, would you believe me?
If you knew I already gave you that ticket, would you make me notice?
What about the comfort?
Will I see it taking off as another late flight?
Will I try to keep a hold of it?
Or I just won't have the power...?

If you told me this has already begun, would I smile back at you?
If I knew you were already working around this, would I close my eyes and let you in? 

Lyrics by Florence and The Machine

There's a drumming noise inside my head
That starts when you're around
I swear that you could hear it
It makes such an all mighty sound

Louder than sirens
Louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven
And hotter than hell

I ran to a tower where the church bells chime
I hoped that they would clear my mind
They left a ringing in my ear
But that drum's beating loud and clear

Louder than sirens
Louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven
And hotter than hell

As I move my feet towards your body
I can hear this beat it fills my head up
And gets louder and louder
It fills my head up and gets louder and louder

I run to the river and dive straight in

I pray that the water will drown out the din
But as the water fills my mouth
It couldn't wash the echoes out
But as the water fills my mouth
It couldn't wash the echoes out

I swallow the sound and it swallows me whole
Till there's nothing left inside my soul
As empty as that beating drum
But the sound has just begun

As I move my feet towards your body
I can hear this beat it fills my head up
And gets louder and louder
It fills my head up and gets louder and louder

There's a drumming noise inside my head
That starts when you're around
I swear that you could hear it
It makes such an all mighty sound

Louder than sirens
Louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven
And hotter than hell

As I move my feet towards your body
I can hear this beat it fills my head up
And gets louder and louder
It fills my head up and gets louder and louder
