Strange Days 03:20
lyrics
Strange days when eyes are on me A pair of eyes I cannot see If you question, boy, we’ll turn up the heat These are very strange days indeed Can't go another day longer Can't wait the fire's gettin' closer Can't sit back and wait till it's over If you want change, change it now Strange days when the men on the hill Only care about passin’ a bill That keep you and me from gettin’ our fill These are very strange days indeed Can't go another day longer Can't wait the fire's gettin' closer Can't sit back and wait till it's over If you want change, change it now Strange days but it’s the same old bag Give ‘em any reason to keep wavin’ a flag More lies laced as reasons to brag These are very strange days indeed Can't go another day longer Can't wait the fire's gettin' closer Can't sit back and wait till it's over If you want change, change it now

Pioneers 03:58
lyrics
I’m going over the rainbow I’ve fallen into the rabbit hole Feelin’ like a pioneer Everything starts to move so slow Air’s rare where we’re about to go Feelin’ like a pioneer Never gonna give up No we’ll never stop pushin’ Cause we are pioneers Shooting past shooting stars Playin’ on an air guitar Cause we are pioneers They said it couldn’t be done Just tryin’ to take away all my fun Feelin’ like a pioneer For them the future’s so far away But I see through the lens of better days Feelin’ like a pioneer Never gonna give up No we’ll never stop pushin’ Cause we are pioneers Shooting past shooting stars Playin’ on an air guitar Cause we are pioneers

Tornado 03:58
lyrics
Movin’ across the country Slowly pickin up speed All it took to get everything started Was the slightest breeze I can feel it in the air I can feel it on the ends of the hairs on my head It’s comin’ down to the ground Like a tornado like a tornado It’s comin’ down down down to the ground like a tornado This isn’t about the weather It’s for the ones who have come to see All the problems that have slowly Taken over this place we call our country I can feel it in the air I can feel it on the ends of the hairs on my head It’s comin’ down to the ground Like a tornado like a tornado It’s comin’ down down down to the ground like a tornado You there in the shadows It’s for you to come clean And your favor returned’s gonna make you bleed Oooo your favor returned’s gonna make you bleed Oooo your favor returned is gonna make you bleed I can feel it in the air I can feel it on the ends of the hairs on my head It’s comin’ down to the ground Like a tornado like a tornado It’s comin’ down down down to the ground like a tornado

I Wanna Feel Everything 02:50
lyrics
I whispered in the ear of gravity I said please let go of me I wanna feel everything I wanna feel everything To be a king and know the weight that it brings To know joy and to have nothing I wanna feel everything I wanna feel everything I wanna taste you in my mouth I wanna lay your body down I wanna feel everything I wanna feel everything

Improvise 02:32
lyrics
When life starts getting hard to take When a left hook comes from outer space You gotta decide what kind of move you’re gonna make You’re gonna find from what it is you’re made Don’t you worry just improvise Improvise, improvise Don’t you worry just improvise Improvise, improvise When fear start filling up the day There’s an action you’re afraid to take You wonder if the weight is gonna cause you to break You’re out in left field when the ball is hit your way Don’t you worry just improvise Improvise, improvise Don’t you worry just improvise Improvise, improvise

All We Want 03:40
lyrics
We’ve had enough of this We’re all callin’ bullshit The light is burning a hole through the past Time to press reset All we want is to go ahead without you All we want is to make the cut clean All we want is to build the world better All we want it’s all we want We won’t look the other way We’re not gonna obey No one likes the writing on the wall All we need to do is erase All we want is to go ahead without you All we want is to make the cut clean All we want is to build the world better All we want it’s all we want The lion’s wakin’ up There’s nothin’ you can do to control us The lion’s wakin’ up There’s nothin’ you can do to control us All we want is to go ahead without you All we want is to make the cut clean All we want is to build the world better All we want it’s all we want The lion’s wakin’ up There’s nothin’ you can do to control us The lion’s wakin’ up There’s nothin’ you can do to control us

You and I Will Be Alright 02:46
lyrics
Some days it feels like we’re just Puttin out a fire to watch the next one flare up I know that life wasn’t meant to be easy But these days are harder than a hammer hittin concrete But you and I will be alright I know that we are gonna be alright I know that as long as we stick together You and I will be alright Before we knew it, we got buried With no shovel just a dead canary Can’t remember the last time we saw Light at the end of the tunnel is so long We're gonna' be alright You and I will be alright We're gonna' be alright I know that we are gonna be alright I know that as long as we stick together You and I will be alright I know that we are gonna be alright I know that as long as we stick together You and I will be alright

Weightless 04:36
lyrics
The days are long and the nights are short Filled up with dreams I do not like The thoughts running through my head I’d like to put in a strangle hold and squeeze ‘em till they’re dead Calling all the ghosts Lay your troubles down Take a little rest From a world that’s bringing you down I’m feelin’ weightless Floating so high above the ground This view is leavin’ me breathless I can see so clearly now I’m feelin’ weightless All the pain that I had is gone I wish this feeling was endless That it’d go on and on and on On and on and on Let’s make this feeling go On and on and on On and on and on Let’s make this feeling go On and on and on Every now and then I need to find A time when I can rest my weary mind Take my hand we’ll fade away From the lights and the noise and the stress of the day Calling all the ghosts Lay your troubles down Take a little rest From a world that’s bringing you down I’m feelin’ weightless Floating so high above the ground This view is leavin’ me breathless I can see so clearly now I’m feelin’ weightless All the pain that I had is gone I wish this feeling was endless That it’d go on and on and on Let’s make this feeling go On and on and on Let’s make this feeling go On and on and on On and on and on Let’s make this feeling go On and on and on Calling all the ghosts Lay your troubles down Take a little rest From a world that’s bringing you down Let’s make this feeling go On and on and on Let’s make this feeling go On and on and on On and on and on Let’s make this feeling go On and on and on

Nothing Comes Close to You 03:35
lyrics
You’ve got me higher than a Colorado sunset You’ve got me thinkin' that you’re a sure bet You got my face feelin' like plastic Smilin' all the time with you’s fantastic Baby nothing comes close to Being the one being the one for you Baby nothing comes close to Being the one for you When I’m with you I can let everything go We’re each other’s super hero We’re shinin' brighter than the glitter on a diamond We’re singin' louder than a couple of lions Baby nothing comes close to Being the one being the one for you Baby nothing comes close to Being the one for you When I found you that’s timin' The way we work that's just science Baby nothing comes close to Being the one being the one for you Baby nothing comes close to Being the one for you
