lyrics

You're restricted by the hold up
Of bright stars in your eyes and little creatures on your shoulder
We all get a little older
But when we grow too fast we retract a little colder
A little bolder than the time ago
When you went with the flow
But ended up in the skid row
Clutching at escape like a drowning man's straw
Only to claw your way through the depth of the floor
I got lines of confines
A grid to sit around the ridges of my paramit spirit
I peek over the edge of the ledge of ice
A poke of beauty in my eyes always comes at a price
I split apart from the man of romance and take a stance
Away from my emotional sensibilité
Dissolve within the digits of my frigid existence
Hide behind my overgrown hedge of resistance

Stand when you're hit and running hit the ground
Get the whole world tripping on the d funk sound

But I choose to fight against my typical lack of response
And do what I want, and carry all my troubles at once
To the precipice of pessimism, casting all my indecision
Into the void, catapulted, deployed.
Free from the chains of the blocks in my brain
Have the stock exchanged and get my head in the game
Claim my very rightful domain, and put my name
On the deed to proclaim that I possess my own frame of mind
It's high time to get low, uncover the old boy's good show
Reconsider everything I know, 'cause I know the right way's before me
Confidentiality bores me.
I know that you can learn from another man's story.
So come and explore me
Learn from my mistakes; I'm not perfect at all, mate
But it's all great, beginning to dilate
Open to the lovin' on my plate

Stand when you're hit and running hit the ground
Get the whole world tripping on the d funk sound

No matter what fear does to you
This beautiful world's here to make love to you
To me, on my journey as I'm learning to be free
As I'm learning to direct and follow my destiny
It's amazing, all the time that I've been wasting
All the dreams that I've been chasing
Are the product of misplacing my priorities
But my philosophy's telling me be at peace
Don't become the victim of your own disease
No longer follow the spiral that makes you hollow
Follow Apollo and learn to channel your sorrow
Energy the world can borrow and give back to you
Alter your state of mind, up to the peaks I climb
Have I really been so blind for all this time
When the world around me's so divine?
I'm dissipating my ego
Straight up to the top like an eagle
Free, I believe so

Stand when you're hit and running hit the ground
Get the whole world tripping on the d funk sound
