(Chorus)
Sound System gonna bring me back up
One thing that I can depend on
Try to describe it as a limit of my ability;
It's there for a second
Then it's given up what it used to be
Contained in music somehow more than just sound,
This inspiration coming and twisting things around
Because you always know that it's gonna have to go
You always know that you'll be back in the cold
Point of departure sublimated in a song
It's always coming to give me that hope
for just a second then it's gone but!
(Chorus)
Static pulse inside of music bringing us escape
It's always temporary, changing nothing in it's wake
Just a second where we're leaving all this shit behind
Just a second but it's leaving just this much in mind:
To resist despair, the second makes you see
To resist despair, because you can't change everything
To resist despair, in this world is what it is to be free
(Chorus)
Wake up turn my box on,
Bust the shade, let the sun in
Times getting tougher 'bout time to start runnin'
Box in my hand music by my side,
Skankin' to the rhythm of the music by my side
