E                                 G
it's there for a second then it's given up what it used to be
(with same progression)
contained in music somehow more then just sound
this inspiration coming and twisting things around
cause 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 comin to give me 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 leavin all this shit behind
just a second but it's leavin just this much in mind
to resist despair, that second makes you see...
to resist despair, cause you can't change everything
to resist despair in this world is
what it is what it is to be free
CHORUS

E                               A             E        
wake up turn my box on bust the shade let the sun in
(same chords)
times gettin tougher bout time to start runnin
box in my hand, music by my side
skankin to the rhythm of the music by my side
CHORUS
