It's a diamond in the rough
A goose chase
But the feeling is amazing
And you never want it to stop
Everyone likes a challenge
Even if the outcome-
Isn't worth it
It's the feeling-
At the time
Your heart breating rhythms
With no music or tempo
But it can stop at any moment
Turn into silence
A diamond in the rough
Shattered
Without it's music.
