Some Sort of Funk
03:55
|
|||
This blue day, come knock me down
Come knock my feet right off the ground
You break me, you weigh me down
Steal my air and I'll never come around
Well I ain't moving through that downward spiral, no
Spent years too long thinking tunes would be viral
Well now I have to break this cycle cos I...
Got myself into some sort of funk
But now I'm coming back to life
I don't need you, I don't need you anymore
Take all your promises and get out the door
Just a bad dream, and I gave it all
and all you did was set me up for the fall
Well I ain't moving through that downward spiral, no
Spent years too long thinking tunes would be viral
Well now I have to break this cycle cos I...
Got myself into some sort of funk
But now I'm coming back to life
I'm coming back to life and I don't care what you say
I'm coming back to life, ain't nothing going to get in my way

Change my Frequency
04:15
|
|||
Got to take off my shoes and socks
and get lost in a land where there's no man
no plans, no place to be, no history
back to a life of simplicity
Just me in the shade of a banyan fig tree
Cross legged, eyes closed
Lie low and let everything go
Let the seed grow
It's time that I find my peace of mind
It's time that I find my peace of mind
I've got to change my frequency
They keep dragging me back to the 9-5
cos we all need to get a cheque to survive
So I input the data, files some reports
upload my memory to the USB port
Control alt delete abort
Before we totally lose the concept of original thought
Step outside the door back to the Earth
that gave birth to everything we ever saw
It's time that I find my peace of mind
It's time that I find my peace of mind
I've got to change my frequency

Show me the Light
03:53
|

Show me the light, beautiful light
I know I've seen this once before
I bear the scars from a fiery war
But show me the light, beautiful light
If I can find peace in the darkest of nights
Then what will I find when I regain my sight
For how many years must I have been blind
and how many times did I not see the signs
Show me the light, blinding white light
So hard to leave this room behind
where warmth and safety steal the mind
But I need that light, beautiful light
If I were to spend the rest of my days
frozen, idle, in a comatose state
I'd reach the end bearing the weight
of a thousand dreams never to wake
Show me everything that I need to live
Show me everything that I have to give
I can not resist, and I will not fight
So please show me the light
Just a glimpse of a diamond in the blackness of space
A spark of gold, a healing embrace
A lightning strike to this weary old face
Take me away from this desolate place

Come in from the Cold
04:15
|
|||
What you trying to do? You keep on fighting you
You keep on writing new rules
to play the fools that play the game you choose
But you lose, it must be so, so cold in there
Some say life ain't fair, but some get by without a care
It's all about the things you do
to bring about the best in you
But you lose, if must me so, so cold in there
Come in from the cold, come in from the cold
Come in from the cold, no need to bring in your fool's gold
I see you're looking nice, but you're as cold as ice
No need to sacrifice you vanity for your sanity
But you paid the price
Don't lose, it must be so, so cold in there
Come in from the cold, come in from the cold
Come in from the cold, no need to bring in your fool's gold
Sometimes we get caught up
When living this life feels like the deepest cut
You're going through the motions, but your eyes are shut
Let the colours in, let your world light up

As the Rivers Flow
03:39
|
|||
Well I stopped believing in the things
that I always thought could be true
Cos nothing ever happens
when you're holding on so tight that your soul turns blue
So I loosened my grip, let the cold run through
Out with the old, and in with the new
Last thing I expected was to find
The heaven of you
When we let go, stop holding on
The sun will shine as the rivers flow
Let go, stop holding on
Now that I'm not dreaming of all these things
that were driving me out of mind
I'm breathing with ease, and life is a breeze
So blind becomes time
Life knows these dreams lie the rivers know streams
and the moon knows the tides
But if one seeks control
Would the sea still rise?
When we let go, stop holding on
The sun will shine as the rivers flow
Let go, stop holding on

Meant to be
03:24
|
|||
There's nowhere I'd rather be
than right here, just you and me
There's nowhere, I'd rather be
I've got this funny feeling that we're meant to be
Seven days is all it took for you to change my view
Through cracks in the walls I spied sky blue, but there was no way through
Nowhere to run, no midnight sun, nothing new
But smile at me, whisper sweet nothings and you set me free
There's nowhere I'd rather be
than right here, just you and me
There's nowhere, I'd rather be
I've got this funny feeling that we're meant to be
Now every day when the sun begins to rise, I feel blessed to be alive
You make me strong, you make me wise, you let my soul fly
As winter fades, you light the shade with those deep blue eyes
And I'll save the world, I'll turn the tides just to thank you for this life
I don't mind where we are,
we could be lazing in the heat, or underneath the sheets
I don't mind where we are
we could be staring at the stars with body heat to warm our hearts
As long as you're not far, I don't really care where we are
There's nowhere I'd rather be
than right here, just you and me
There's nowhere, I'd rather be
I've got this funny feeling that we're meant to be

Don't Worry Yourself
04:48
|

Hey darling, I know you've been waiting for me
To say something, but words don't come easily, no
I know it seems at times like I'm living on the dark side of the moon
or deep under the Ocean, but trust I'll be coming home soon
Don't worry yourself
Please darling, don't think any less of me
cos there are some things, some things that I'll never be
I'm moving through the gaps in my mind trying to find another way
But the truth takes a moment, and I've said all I need to say
Don't worry yourself
We could spend hours chasing dragonflies
But would we ever be satisfied?
We may not always see eye to eye
But take a look to your side...
I'm right here darling, I'm right here
So don't you worry yourself

I've been walking through these concrete streets
with a noose around my neck, handcuffed wrists and shackled feet
Eyes glued to an LCD screen
and my blood turns to pixels moderated by machines
My body feeds from these poisoned seeds
Immunity is weakened by the weeds of corporate greed
Grow our own and they sell us a disease
I thought my eyes were open but it seems I've been asleep
All I'm hearing through these Newspeak streams
are lies to divide and conquer and perpetuate our fears
Brains don't function when you take away ideas
We're easy to control with lies ringing in our ears
These orchestrated wars fought year after year
are just a symphony to keep the power with the profiteers
But when we take a stand it's clear our precious votes disappear
Beliefs up in smoke into this tainted atmosphere
Wake up rise and shine, it's 11:11
and we're running out of time

With my Headphones in
05:49
|
|||
There's a voice, just a whisper in the wind,
That speaks of truth, and the seven deadly sins
A natural wisdom that has always been
But I can't hear it with my headphones in
Is it all for me? Everything I want and need?
With no consequences? If that's what I choose to believe.
Consciously disguise, hide the wounds and blinker these eyes.
If I can't see my cruelty, surely everything's alright.
There's a voice, just a whisper in the wind,
That speaks of truth, and the seven deadly sins
A natural wisdom that has always been
But I can't hear it with my headphones in
Are we too far gone, living in these humdrum days?
Smoke to thick to choke the fiction, with no visible escape.
Open up the eyes, live it for real at the next sunrise,
Wise to every footstep and every imprint left behind.
Start to listen and the spirit has to rise.
Change the vision and we'll find our paradise.
A universal rhythm in the stillness of this life.
A hidden wisdom that unifies us with the sky.
