i'd been lifting movie-set weights so i could act strong the appeal of furnished dates made my calendar long spending days too afraid to change that song the feel of tarnished grates beneath my feet left the thoughts in my head on the blink and, how many watts in my brain? how about my heart? are the flames burning bright? or, is blame burning fright? it's all up to me yeah, it's easy to see got some changes to make some electricity to awake so, here i am light down low, but still shining and i'll be shifting tectonic plates reconnect the bonds (those faults, those breaks, left for me to shake) the feel of furnished fate to the furnace it belongs (dawns lit by eclipsed sun-dial dialogues) and as those days ran late, i will run on (my faults, heartbreaks: my mistaken songs) i did write, some can’t weight so move on, ‘cause the real love i create within my beat makes the reaches of my heart reach its peak how many watts in my brain? how 'bout my heart? are the flames burning bright? oh, you know it, you know it that's right, that's right! and it's all up to me yeah, it's easy to see that i got some changes to make some electricity to awake so, here i am oh, here i am with a soul realizing that here i am yeah, here i am with a light no bounds now and still rising

wondered how the streets had managed to make and raise the collective and suss out the art we live that's my geography objective outside the old theatre's damage recalled to mind the praise we collected for giving back what's ours to give that's my geography objective this land of ghost-town strand has all the, all the life we expected so lets trust those hearts that beat with that geography objective my love, now standing there where the sound shook that ragged thoroughfare you're the reason to be free so let's be free, and let's breathe my love, now standing there where the sound shook that ragged thoroughfare you're the reason to be free so let's be free, and let's breathe my love, now standing there where the sound shook that ragged thoroughfare you're the reason to be free so let's be free, and let's breathe you're on today, you're on today where there was shaking you are making the ground feel concrete you're on today, you're on today there's purpose that has surfaced beneath my feet you're on today, you're on today where there was breaking you are making the ground feel complete you're on today, you're on today now the basement's on the pavement that's reason to dream i wander down the streets for vantage to make and raise my perspective i must shout, and start to live that's my geography objective atop the old theatre's main stage recalled to mind the strays that connected singing back what's theirs to give that's my geography objective your sound surrounds each step, writes your story for the next kids and i trust their hearts will beat with your geography objective
