Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Watch the way that the wind blow
Watching places out my window
To the people on their grind, to the country out its mind
Half grins, half spun like a dreidel
No middle to my knowhow
Slow down for the show now
I'd rather be alone than explain how
Wake up and walk out
Take up and take out
Shake up and shake out
[Verse 2]
My demon's waiting on every corner
To pull me down, they follow me around
They're in my blood as the leaves hit the ground
And the wind from the willow
My only shield is the sound
My feelings releasing these sounds
Get free in these sounds, let it bleed in these sounds
In these verbs, in these nouns, in these words build a boat
Take me through stormy seas till my feet hit the ground
[Verse 3]
Hit the ground running
Hit the town humming
Ancient melodies come back to me now
Come back to me now
Ancient melodies come back to me now
Come back
Stop and ask the question
Like Nachman I lose the vision
Enter to the fog
Driving down this mountain to the ocean floor
Where you've never gone before, open up the door
To a room you've chosen to ignore
Swimming in the ocean of fear
You been swimming in the ocean of fear
Through the unknown and the unclear
Through the unknown and the unclear
Fear of your life, fear of your knife
Cut open this tightly stitched world that you made, examine your side
Take up and take out
Shake up and shake out
Shake it off, gotta shake up the vibe
[Verse 4]
You've been traveling the speed of light
You've been searching
You've been moving all of your life
You've been reaching
You've been running out of sight
You've been seeking
Disappearing into the light
Into the light you've been taken to
[Verse 5]
Now you're digging up the gravestone
Breaking up the glass house that you create
Breaking up the paved road that
That you made entering the maze
Fear of the strange, fear of the waves as they crash
One son of a longin' once felt
Like a trophy that you wanted, kept it on the mantle
Time to dismantle, get a handle
Taking off your sandals, lighting up the candles
Now you're living in shambles
[Verse 6]
Ramble on with the rose, ramble on with the rose
Cons can't hack it with my jacket
Causing a racket, take a crack and crackle
Talking competition with the mission living with division
Or touch the moonlight
[Verse 7]
Wake up and walk out
Take up and take out
Shake up and shake out
Shake it off, gotta shake up the vibe
[Verse 8]
You've been traveling the speed of light
You've been searching
You've been moving all of your life
You've been reaching
You've been running out of sight
You've been seeking
Disappearing into the light
Into the light you've been taken to
[Verse 9]
You've been traveling the speed of light
You've been searching
You've been moving all of your life
You've been reaching
You've been running out of sight
You've been seeking
Disappearing into the light
Into the light you've been taken to
[Verse 10]
Traveling at the speed of light
You've been searching
You've been moving all of your life
All of your life, all of your life
[Verse 11]
You've been traveling the speed of light
You've been searching
You've been moving all of your life
All of your life, all of your life eaten
You've been running
You've been seeking
Disappearing
Out of sight all of your life
All of your life, all of your life
[Verse 12]
You've been searching
You've been moving all of your life
You've been reaching
You've been running all of your life
You've been seeking
Disappearing into the night
[Verse 13]
You've been reaching
You've been running into the night
You've been searching
You've been moving all of your life
You've been reaching
You've been running all of your life
You've been searching
You've been moving
You've been reaching
You've been running
You've been seeking
Disappearing
Try to step out into the light
Into the light, into the light
Into the light, into the light
Into the light
[Verse 14]
Time to make the world feel right
Step out into the light
You've been taken to
