Music by Rainy Day Manual
Lyrics by Chris Faulkner/ Keith Pounds / Seth Hendricks

lyrics

Here is all we know and what we see is
we just need to find a home,
One that's far away and even though
when we try to run it closes in
to tell us we're insane.
I can't believe in you
It's easy now and up to me

So breath. In a cold, hard stare
We'll lead you there or die with us inside.

March down avenues until your feet are gone.
In time your thoughtless moments
build into years you leave behind.
For the few we call much enough a friend
to take along,
I can't believe it's true
There's fewer now than were before.

So breath. You've got to know yourself.
It's in your blood this time.

(We won't walk in circles)
Cut these ropes I need some room to breathe
(and won't buy these riddles)
Trust yourself and not just what you see
(You will let your mind flow)
The time has come for you to learn to grow
(When you see your body go)
Take your body where it wants to go.

Breathe. In a cold, hard stare
we'll lead you there or die.

about

Rainy Day Manual Memphis

Forged in the fires of quixotic ambition; tempered in the ruthless grind of urban chagrin. The seed of Rainy Day Manual is germinated by one thought, "To make others happy, you must first make yourself happy."
