Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I'm takin' over my body, back in control, no more shotty

I bet a lot of me was lost, Ts uncrossed and Is un-dotted

I fought it a lot and it seems a lot like flesh is all I got

Not anymore, flesh out the door, swat

I must've forgot, you can't trust me

I'm open a moment and closed when you show it

Before you know it, I'm lost at sea

And now that I write and think about it

And the story unfolds, you should take my life, you should take my soul

[PreChorus]

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

[Chorus]

You are surrounding all my surroundings

Sounding down the mountain range of my left-side brain

You are surrounding all my surroundings

Twisting that kaleidoscope behind both of my eyes

[Refrain]

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

And I'll be holding onto you

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

And I'll be holding onto you

[Verse 2]

Remember the moment, you know exactly where you're goin'

'Cause the next moment, before you know it

Time is slowin' and it's frozen still

And the window sill looks really nice, right?

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

Fight it, take the pain, ignite it

Tie a noose around your mind, loose enough to breath fine and tie it

To a tree, tell it, "You belong to me

This ain't a noose, this is a leash

And I have news for you, you must obey me"

[Chorus]

You are surrounding all my surroundings

Sounding down the mountain range of my left-side brain

You are surrounding all my surroundings

Twisting that kaleidoscope behind both of my eyes

[Bridge]

Entertain my faith, entertain my faith

Entertain my faith, entertain my faith

Entertain my faith, entertain my faith

Entertain my faith, entertain my faith

Entertain my faith, entertain my faith

[Bridge]

Lean with it, rock with it, when we gonna stop with it?

Lyrics that mean nothing, we were gifted with thought

Is it time to move our feet to an introspective beat?

It ain't the speakers that bump hearts, it's our hearts that make the beat

Lean with it, rock with it, when we gonna stop with it?

Lyrics that mean nothing, we were gifted with thought

Is it time to move our feet to an introspective beat?

It ain't the speakers that bump hearts, it's our hearts that make the beat

Lean with it, rock with it, when we gonna stop with it?

Lyrics that mean nothing, we were gifted with thought

Is it time to move our feet to an introspective beat?

It ain't the speakers that bump hearts, it's our hearts that make the beat

Lean with it, rock with it, when we gonna stop with it?

Lyrics that mean nothing, we were gifted with thought

Is it time to move our feet to an introspective beat?

It ain't the speakers that bump hearts, it's our hearts that make the beat

[Outro]

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

And I'll be holding on to you, and I'll be holding on to you

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

And I'll be holding on to you, and I'll be holding on to you

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

And I'll be holding on to you, and I'll be holding on to you

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

And I'll be holding on to you, and I'll be holding on to you
