Lyrics

I’m taking over my body, back in (F#sus4)control, no more shotty.

I bet a lot of me was (Bsus2)lost, ‘T’s uncrossed and ‘I’s undotted.

I fought it a lot and it seems (F#sus4)a lot like flesh is all I got.

Not anymore, flesh (Bsus2)out the door.

(CN.C.)Swat.

I must’ve forgot.

You (F#sus4)can’t trust me.

I’m open a moment and closed when you show it.

(Bsus2)Before you know it I’m lost at sea.

And now that I write and think (F#sus4)about it and the story un folds, you should take my life, (Bsus2)you should take my soul.

(G#m7(add11))Ah.

(Emaj9)Ah.

(G#m7(add11))Ah.

(Emaj9)Ah.

You are sur (G#m)round ing all my sur (F#)round ings.

Sound ing down the (G#m)moun tain range of my (F#)left side brain.

You are sur (G#m)round ing all my sur (F#)round ings.

Twist ing the ka (G#m)lei do scope be hind (F#)both of my eyes.

(G#m7(add11))Ah.

(Emaj9)Ah.

(G#m7(add11))Ah.

(Emaj9)Ah.

Remember the moment, you know exactly (F#sus4)where you’re going.

’Cause the next moment, before you know it, (Bsus2)time is slowing and it’s frozen still.

And the window sill (F#sus4)looks really nice right?

You think twice about your life, (Bsus2)it probably happens at night, right?

Fight it, take the (F#sus4)pain, ignite it.

Tie a noose around your mind loose enough (Bsus2)to breath fine and tie it to a tree, tell it: “You (F#sus4)belong to me, this ain’t a noose, this is a leash and I have (Bsus2)news for you, you must obey (E)me.” You are sur (G#m)round ing all my sur (F#)round ings.

Sound ing down the (G#m)moun tain range of my (F#)left side brain.

You are sur (G#m)round ing all my sur (F#)round ings.

Twist ing the ka (G#m)lei do scope be hind (F#)both of my eyes.

(G#m)En ter tain my faith.

(B)En ter tain my faith.

(G#m)En ter tain my faith.

(B)En ter tain my faith.

(G#m)En ter tain my faith.

(B)En ter tain my faith.

Lean with it, rock with it.

(F#)When we gonna stop with it?

Lyrics that mean nothing.

We were (B)gifted with thought.

Is it time to move our feet to (F#)an introspective beat?

It ain’t the speakers that bump hearts it’s (B)hearts that make the Lean with it, rock with it.
