Jackhammer by the side of the road Concrete furrows, starting to grow And the world hums... Controlled explosions in cages of steel Controlled destruction driving our wheels And the world hums on forever? Drawing lines holding us together We are harnessing vibrations Energy at our command Kinetic meditations Behold the hand of man... Behold the hand of man Cells growing at an ungodly pace Blood flowing in a life-giving race And the world beats on Micro-signals flooding the mains Neuronal fibers shouting with pain and the world beats on as long as long as we can keep the rhythm going We are harnessing vibrations Energy at our command Kinetic meditations Behold the hand of man... Behold the hand of man And all the world is just asking us please For just a second, asking us please For just a moment, asking us please Be still. Take a rest. Cells growing from the one to the whole Holy division making a soul and the heartbeat's on And though we're blind to what the... future sees Contractions... expand possibilities and our hope lives on forever Holding us is holding us together We are harnessing vibrations Energy at our command Kinetic meditations Behold the gift of ...

Hummingbird 03:17
Fly little hummingbird, over the flowers and trees I wish that I could see things the way that your soul sees, a world that's always in bloom Sweet little thing Sweet little thing with the world under your wing Fly little hummingbird, until the future's the past It takes a big heart to make such tiny wings beat so fast and I will always love you Sweet little thing Sweet little thing with the world under your wing Fly little hummingbird, may all your dreams come true In such a long flight, that might mean some nightmares too but Love will always have you Sweet little thing Sweet little thing take the world under your wing

You let me down easy After I had fallen hard You gave me no reason You just left me in my car And you let me down You're my favorite problem that I can't not solve I must know the ending I must know how this evolves but you let me down... I know what you are I know what you do when you're out with those boys I know what you want I know that you know that you leave me no choice I know what you are... You're not like the others though you do the things they do The door is wide open But you're running from what's best for you and you let me down... I know what you are I know what you do when you're out with those boys I know what you want I know that you know that you leave me no choice I know what you are... I give you my love I give you my life I give you the world This feelings so deep This feelings so real Why don't I get the girl??? You're just like the others I should have seen from the start You chase after phantoms after I gave you my heart and you let me down I know what you are I know what you do when you're out with those boys I know what you want I know that you know that you leave me no choice I know what you are...

Iron Girl 03:42
Steve Nash was never a Spur But she's always been a fan of him You might think she's your pink pink princess then she lift your ass right outa the gym If she's walking, well you better pick up or she'll just call the other one and you better compliment her new dress or she'll toss you aside like a poorly taped gun Iron Girl She takes it on Iron Girl Whatever it is And that might be What we need to save the world And shes not afraid of taking a fall and she's ready to spill a drop or two and she'll lay it all out on the line and she'll be a loyal friend for you Iron Girl She takes it on Iron Girl Whatever it is And that might be What we need to save the world When it all goes to heck, you better take note cuz she knows what she is going to do Don't expect her to tell you her plans she doesn't need to prove herself to you Iron Girl She takes it on Iron Girl Whatever it is And that might be What we need to save the world Iron Girl She takes it on Iron Girl Wherever it is And that might be What we need to save the world Iron Girl She takes it on Iron Girl Whoever it is And that might be What we need to save the world

STFU 02:59
When it seems that everything and everyone is giving in is giving out is giving up too fast And the chatter of the hatter doesn't matter it's just clatter clutter flutter butter it don't last And the insta and the twitter are just vista fulla glitter pretty spinster seeking mister whilin' away tiktok And the thoughts that cross your mind are existential consequential and becoming residential and they're taking stock Is this all? Is all is lost? Is hope to die? Is fingers crossed? Is breath in you? Is breath enough? Is getting started? Is getting tough? Step Up I know what you can bring Step Up Let us hear you sing Dr Phil and Dr Oz and Dr Doolittle are in the middle muddle cuddle take a nap And the pity of the pretty nitty gritty is that everybody knowin' Ackbar, it's a trap All the preachers of the dollar hoot and hollar getting smaller trading collar for prosperity And the information decimation fuels your motivation take a tip and take a whip and turn and set it free You know you got it You know you can You know you badass Woman and man You need you now You need you loud You need you hungry You need you proud Step Up You know what you can bring Step Up Let 'em hear you sing Step Up, Step The Funk Up Step Up, Step The Funk Up Step The Funk Up Step Up You know what you can bring Step Up Let 'em hear you sing Step Up You know what you can bring Step Up We wanna hear you sing Step Up

Antmusic 03:28
Well I'm standing here, I'm looking at you. What do I see? I'm looking straight through It's so sad when you're young to be told, "you're having fun" So, unplug the jukebox and do us all a favor. That music's lost its taste, so try another flavor Antmusic Antmusic Antmusic Antmusic Well I'm standing here, I'm looking at you. What do I see? I see nothing threatening me It's so sad when you're young to be told, "you're having fun" So, unplug the jukebox and do us all a favor. That music's lost its taste, so try another flavor Antmusic...

All the words have been spoken and the silence is loud full of all the things too big for sound ... So I pull up your covers and I sit by your side And I swear that I can hear you say "please know it's all all right.. everything shall be right. Don't spend your tears on this parting, for this is only a lie - a lie. For in the space of a moment, eternity gives us flight; so my friend don't say goodbye... Just good night." ... When all is said, all is not lost When all is done, all is not lost ... hope is growing growing is hope all is not lost hope is growing knowing is hope the fruit has a cost hope is growing growing to cope all is not lost hope is growing knowing that hope is well worth the cost well worth every penny every penny we tossed well worth every penny every penny we tossed All is not lost...
