Settle Your Mind

from What Is There To Lose? by Ross Mayhew

/

lyrics

well i woke up, unsettled mind
knew peace was what i had to find
i no longer wanted to count the minutes
they're too short to really live in
so i checked the weather
got my shit together
headed out the door

i bumped into a friend of mine
who worried about the state of time
said not to worry, no need to stress
look at us both, at least we're dressed
i've got a pocket full of ideas
and hope under my hat
it'll be alright

nobody knows, what's down the road
but it's a one way, so off we go
i ain't gonna let the worries you have
get in my head and make me daft
i ain't got it sorted
but neither have you
so why'd you care?

the worlds going crazy and i refuse to go
if you wanna run away i can get a ticket for two

the birds will sing, their little song
the little ants do their little walk
it's live or die, are you even gonna try
or just complain to the empty sky
the clouds don't care
who they're above
so sing in the rain

look at the people, floating by
dreaming of castles in the sky
it's a swell idea but not practical
where's the foundations to build it on
i want to be where
i can't be found
so take me there
