A metronome beats, but fails to hold the group together as panic wins.
Tick, tick, tick
It beats out
Slow and steady
Constant, unfailing
Leading us together
Tick, tick, tick
It continues
As we fall apart
Around it
Ignoring it
Forgetting to
Breathe, to think
As we watch her
Tumble down
Crashing to the floor
We reach uselessly
Missing her, dropping her
Panic and failure
Filling the air
Winning the day.
