Breathe.

There stands a man with the weight of the world on his shoulders
He says it's been that way long as he can recall
Well you know someday that man's gonna fall
Because nobody's made to carry the weight of it all
But if we just lend a hand
We can lift the weight like a feather in the wind
Chorus:
Whoa oh oh ....What's it all for
Whoa oh oh .... Can't we give a little more
Whoa oh oh ....Step out your front door
And Breathe, breathe, breathe
We're all in this together
If you feel the weight of gravity pulling you down
As the world spins in orbit round and round
And you feel your feet sinking deeper in the ground
Pull them up out of your shoes, they're no use now
We're al racing around the sun at the same pace
And we finish where we started with a new day but the same face
Just remember we're all here in the same place
Stop to breathe there's no time to wait

Electric Funk Lady

Lady was a dancer
She said that's my thing
I think you can tell by my moves
I can shake it up in 1,2,3
All I need is a groove
To turn up the heat
So I payed a few notes and que'd up the band
And we laid into a funky jam
Well she started to move, I couldn't look away
This girl she had something to say
She's electric, put me in a trance
Dancing like it was her last chance
She move like fire burning oxygen
Took my breathe away just to do it again and again
Electric funk lady, Electric funk lady, Electric funk lady....
She was living art for all to see
Her body turned to every note
She had those high clogs and swagger too
Electric funk in her soul
She's contagious, to everyone around
Make you move like you was James Brown
She'll drive you crazy, dancing all around
Electric funk lady came to get down
Electric funk lady, Electric funk lady, Electric funk lady....
Electric funk lady, coming to your town
Electric funk lady, came to get down

Core

Muscles ache you been running for days
Tired and worn you can’t go on this way
Got to stop and find shade
Take a break from your self crusade
It’s been a long time since you took stock
Been a long time since you stopped to look at the clock
Feel it in your bones, feel it in your soul
It’s all in parts now and what once was whole
Pick up the pieces, put them in a sack
Fit them back together when you get back
It may be broken but it’s not lost
Pay the toller his carrying cost
The kids are dancing in the hals
The paint is melting off the walls
See it clearer than before
Got to get down to the core
Let the light shine through your core
Sand and dust metal and Rust
Soon that’s all that’s left of us
Try and leave behind a little sunshine
A seed to bloom in the summertime
Let it root and let it grow
Feed the core and watch it unfold
Sit in the grass, bask in the sun
Feel the force of all that’s one
Got to slow down got to recharge
The earth the moon the sun and the stars
Feel it deep grabbing your core
Let the light in just open the door

Coming In Hot
04:26

I like adrenaline
Moving fast
I like the way you look at me
When we pass
Many miles to go
To get to you
Many miles of road
I'm coming home
Coming in hot, whatcha got
Coming in hot, whatcha got
I like to drive at night
Radio on high
I like the way you move
When you're close by
Many miles to go
To get to you
Many miles of road
I'm coming home
Coming in hot, whatcha got
Coming in hot, whatcha got

Leaps and Bounds
03:16
|

Passing time we all reflect
When the sun goes down and the light it collects
I know I'm the one who left and I know what I left behind
I was feeling a little uneasy
Couldn't sit still no more
I just needed to get out and ride
... get out an ride.... jumping leaps and bounds
Well the crosstown bridge and the market square
They are started to look the same
If I was a mason I'd rebuild me this town
And none of these of structures would remain
And all of the rivers that flow into the ocean
Would be as crystal as the day they came
... as the day the came.... jumping leaps and bounds
Big trees and an open skyline
I heard a voice tell me to keep on driving
Nothing going to stop me now
Going to climb every god damned mountain around
and who's to say by morning light we'll have it all figured out
and who's to say it really matters anyway
So let's just go out and get lost today
We don't need a map to find our way
We'll just be where ever we are
Doesn't matter how near or far
I got a feeling it's all going to be alright...
... all going to be alright.... jumping leaps and bounds

300 Days
04:48

300 days in the shallows
Before I came up for air
Sun burning my eyes
Can’t see quite clear
Well I’ve been tested by will and nerve
And I’m running on reserves
Got to make back to a higher ground
I’m climbing up and out now
Aye aye aye oh oh oh 300 days in the hole
Aye aye aye oh oh oh Coming in from the cold
Aye aye aye oh oh oh just a mile to go
Aye aye aye oh oh oh 300 days on hold
The highways for dreamers
The one’s who just got to roll
The city’s for the keepers
Chaos control
The funk is for the funky
Who like to get low
Like smoke on the hillside
Coming up slow

You said you'd be home soon
I didn't think about it the whole sunny afternoon
When I got home I saw the note
You said you had to catch a wave before it broke
I would have followed you anywhere
Content to breathe the same air
Now I'm watching the radar waiting for the swell to come in
And I'm calling all satellites, trying to get a signal to you
And I'm tangled up in radio waves, and I can't get through
whoa oh oh... can't get through...
Now I'm walking around town with my head down
Counting the cracks in the sidewalk all over town
I wish it would rain, give me something else to do
These sunny days just remind me of you
Thought I smelled your hair today in the wind
Then I thought it was something I just imagined
So I went down to the ocean and looked out to the waves
I didn't see you there but I paddled out anyway

Run(away)
03:26
|

|
You better run fast
The dice were rolled and the die was cast
Just when you thought it wouldn’t last
That time has come and that time has past
You better run
You better go
You better get out the door
You better run away, run away, run away fast
You better run away, run away, run away fast
You better run away, run away, run away fast
You better run away..... run away fast
Staying low, moving slow
Watching people come and go
Sun is up, back down
Another day we’re burning down
Same place new mind
Same walls, old signs
Different life, different time
Same old story, new lines

Today
04:58
|
|||
|
Take a moment to find your shoes
Look at the clock it’s already noon
The sun is shining on a brand new day
You penned a letter and sent it away
But the words still echo in your brain
A fossilized impression forever remains
And each distraction is just a sound
A small reprieve from something yet to be found
Chorus:
We’re looking and breathing and searching and feeling
We’re particles bouncing dancing in space
We’re seeing and hearing, loving and reeling
We’re trying to find our place
Everyone is out looking for tomorrow
I’m just trying to find today
The wizards in the tower casting his spells
The people below they can’t ever tell
They just keep going on about their days
Saying change is inevitable anyway
And the king left his thrown unoccupied
Out searching for something he might never find
And the queen she sleeps alone tonight
Dreaming of a simpler life

Take a pause, a small delay
Take a breath for yourself
Don't let it all slip away
I hope you're all feeling well
We got caught up in the rain
When our car broke down
But we got back on the road again
With a little help from our friends
You were our eyes when we were blinded
You were the roots to our behavior
And when we could not stand tall
You held us up so we would not fall
And here we all are today
Gathered in the same place
Just like I dreamt it before
I hope you're all enjoying your stay
So thank you for joining in our uniting
Thank you for all your good tidings
And when the years pass us by
We'll always have this night
So while the night may be getting late
You know it's still early
So let us stay up till daybreak
Because you know it's that kind of party
I hope you're all feeling well
Hope you're all feeling well
I hope you're all feeling well
Hope you're all feeling well
I hope you're all feeling well
