Bigger Than My Body
Lyrics to “Bigger Than My Body Mix“
Your Worried Mind
Vanessa Lowe
It isn’t hard to breathe
Open yourself up like a sieve
This could be what you need
Be a good filter and let the particles converge
Before they enter
At the center of your worried mind
I can be like snow on the mountain top
I will flow to the core like cheap wine
You’ll forget the names of your cares and
All the risks you dare take
Everything you love for real
It isn’t what you’ve got
It’s what you’re willing to accept
Turn your antenae on
Open desire like a web and be a net
Here comes a windfall of devices to quiet
Your worried mind
I can be like snow on a mountain top
I will flow to the core like cheap wine
You’ll forget the names of your cares and
All the risks you dare take
Everything you love for real
It isn’t wrong to sleep
Cover your eyes with bolts of silk
Drink in a melody
Open the pores inside your ears and let your fears
Be washed away
Like a Summer day
For your worried mind
I can be like snow on a mountain top
I will flow to the core like cheap wine
You’ll forget the names of your cares and
All the risks you dare take
Everything you love for real

Johnny America
Five For Fighting
Show me a better bike than the one I got
If it makes any difference you can keep the lot
There’s plenty of space in the parking lot
A head full of hopes
A pocket full of dreams
Handle bars coming apart at the seams
There goes Johnny America
Riding Hard up Mission Hill
Some think he’ll make it to the top today
Some say he never will
Though he’s just a child at heart
He’s old enough to fall
Nobody in 100 years
Can touch him faults and all…
What you going to say about my little man
Take another shot, do the best you can
They’re selling out souls in the grandstand
His cap peeled back
Got blood on his knees
Fighting back tears
Tearing through the breeze
There goes Johnny America
Riding hard up Mission Hill
Some think he’ll make it to the top today
Some say he never will
Though he’s just a child at heart
He’s old enough to fall
Nobody in 100 years
Can touch him faults and all…
He’s come to far to fall
There goes Johnny America
Riding Hard up Mission Hill
Some think he’ll make it to the top today
Some say he never will…
GO!
Go Johnny!
Go Johnny!
There goes Johnny America
Riding Hard up Mission Hill
Some think he’ll make it to the top today
I say he will

Broken & Ugly
Beth Hart
Me and my dog, we really get along
Yeah she don’t howl, when I’m screamin’ my songs
I cuss, I drink, I lie, I spit
Guess I don’t really give a shit
Broken and ugly, yes I am
Oh right, oh right, yeah
Still I look good divin’ in
And mama, I’m runnin’ again - Odelay…
Yeah, down in Alabama, where I’m wanted in jail
I’m a little nervous in the Bible belt
I’m broke, I smoked, and passed out on the bar
Then I took all the money, and your grandma’s car
Broken and ugly, yes I am
Oh right, oh right, yeah
And still I look good divin’ in
And mama, I’m runnin’ again - Odelay…
Do what you do, say what you say
Don’t waste no time on yesterdays
Cash in your ticket to ride
Don’t let them talk you into walking
Into no one else’s shoes
Don’t be no sucker in line
Broken and ugly, yes I am
Oh right, oh right, yeah
And still I look good divin’ in
And mama, I’m runnin’ again…
Mama, I’m runnin’ again…
Mama, I did it again - Odelay…
Odelay…
Odelay…
Odelay…

Gone
Kelly Clarkson
What you see’s not what you get
With you there’s just no measurement
No way to tell what’s real from what isn’t there
Your eyes they sparkle
That’s all changed into lies that drop like acid rain
You washed away the best of me
You don’t care
You know you did it
I’m gone
To find someone to live for
In this world
There’s no light at the end of the tunnel tonight
Just a bridge that I gotta burn
You were wrong
If you think you can walk right through my door
That is just so you
Coming back when I’ve finally moved on
I’m already gone
Sometimes shattered
Never open
Nothing matters when you’re broken
That was me whenever I was with you
Always ending
Always over
Back and forth, up and down like a rollercoaster
I am breaking
That habit
Today
You know you did it
I’m gone
To find someone to live for
In this world
There’s no light at the end of the tunnel tonight
Just a bridge that I gotta burn
You were wrong
If you think you can walk right through my door
That is just so you
Coming back when I’ve finally moved on
I’m already gone
There is nothing you can say
Sorry doesn’t cut it, babe
Take the hit and walk away
‘Cause I’m gone
Doesn’t matter what you do
It’s what you did that’s hurting you
All I needed was the truth
Now I’m gone
What you see’s not what you get
What you see’s not what you get
You know you did it - I’m gone
To find someone to live for in this world
There’s no light at the end of the tunnel tonight
Just a bridge that I gotta burn
You were wrong
If you think you can walk right through my door
That is just so you
Coming back when I’ve finally moved on
I’m already gone
I’m already gone
Oh, I’m already gone, gone, gone, gone
Already gone
I’m gone

Bigger Than My Body
John Mayer
This is a call to the color-blind
This is an IOU
I’m stranded behind a horizon line
Tied up in something true
Yes, I’m grounded
Got my wings clipped
I’m surrounded (by)
All this pavement
Guess I’ll circle
While I’m waiting
For my fuse to dry
Someday I’ll fly
Someday I’ll soar
Someday I’ll be something much more
Cause I’m bigger than my body gives me credit for
Why is it not my time?
What is there more to learn?
Shed this skin I’ve been tripping in
Never to quite return
Yes, I’m grounded
Got my wings clipped
I’m surrounded (by)
All this pavement
Guess I’ll circle
While I’m waiting
For my fuse to dry
Someday I’ll fly
Someday I’ll soar
Someday I’ll be so damn much more
Cause I’m bigger than my body gives me credit for
Cause I’m bigger than my body now
Maybe I’ll tangle in the power lines
And it might be over in a second’s time
But I’ll gladly go down in a flame
If the flame’s what it takes to remember my name
Yes, I’m grounded
Got my wings clipped
I’m surrounded (by)
All this pavement
Guess I’ll circle
While I’m waiting
For my fuse to dry
For my fuse to dry
Someday I’ll fly
Someday I’ll soar
Someday I’ll be so damn much more
Cause I’m bigger than my body
I’m bigger than my body
I’m bigger than my body now

Defeat You
Smashmouth
Born is a human with a kung-fu spine
Equipped with a detector of whats on your mind
You jive you shuck you bob you weave
And when you’re down you’ve got something up your sleeve
And you’ve got it good
As bad as it gets
You make your own incisions that come with regrets
You’re in it to win it and make every minute count
You put it all together
And dish it out
Hey I know where you’re from
It makes it that much nicer to meet you
Hey I know what you’ve done
It makes it that much better to defeat you
All that knowledge
all those skills
All the gas it takes to get up top of the hill
And while the other try to take your spot
You wanna make them stop but you gotta make them stop
Would you do anything
whatever it takes
Jacks in the road yeah fix the breaks
It’s the instinct that’s got us locked up tight
And it’s the madness that’s keeping us up all night
Hey I know where you’re from
It makes it that much nicer to meet you
Hey I know what you’ve done
It makes it that much better to defeat you
It’s what we are
It’s what we are
It’s what we are
Born is a human with mechanics to win
Born is machine with a human tucked in
You jive you shuck you jab you stick
You’re calling out for help when it gets too thick
Your honor your honor its not me
It’s the invisible visible evil powers that be
Untraceable insatiable having to feed
Yeah you cry when your wounded and you laugh
When they bleed
Hey I know where you’re from
It makes it that much nicer to meet you
Hey I know what you’ve done
It makes it that much better to defeat you

Inner Vision
System of a Down
I have a home
Longing to roam
I have to find you
I have to meet you
Signs of your face
Slowing your pace
I need your guidance
I need to seek my inner vision
Inner vision
My pupils dance
Lost in a trance
Your sacred silence
Losing all violence
Stars in their place
Mirror your face
I need to find you
I need to seek my inner vision
Inner vision
Inner vision
It’s never too late to reinvent the bicycle
A smile brings forth energy or life
Giving you force
It’s never too late to reinvent the bicycle
A smile brings forth energy or life
Giving you force
Vision
There’s only one true path in life
The road that leads to all leads to one
There’s only one true path in life
The road that leads to all
Inner vision
Your sacred silence
Losing all violence

Not Falling
Mudvayne
Always
Known in all my time,
A little left of center now
Reflect as I realize
That all I
Need is to find the middle pillar path to sit like the sun by a star in the sky and just be
Sinners
Casting stones at me
I… I stand
Not crawling
Not falling down
I… I bleed
The demons that drag me down
I… I stand (for nothing)
Not crawling, (the center)
Not falling down (of calms within the eye)
I… I’ll bleed, (for no one)
The demons, (but myself)
That pull me down (for me and no one else)
Goodbye
Sunshine
I’ve put it out again, sad
I’m over
Personalities, conflicting,
I don’t need you, or anyone,
But me, I’ll just be,
Living my own life
I feel my glowing center grow,
Infecting
I feel alive
Shovel dirt over lime,
Plant it in myself to sit like a seed under covers of earth and just be
Sinners, pointing fingers at me
I… I stand, (for nothing)
Not crawling, (by myself)
Not falling down
I… I bleed, (for no one)
The demons, (but myself)
That drag me down
I… I stand, (for nothing)
Not crawling, (the center)
Not falling down (of calms within the eye)
I… I’ll bleed, (for no one)
The demons, (but myself)
That pull me down (for me and no one else)
Come play - kill
Refuse my body, refuse my shadow
Stond cold will
Refuse to lead this, refuse to follow
Bitter pills
Refuse to feed this, refuse to swallow
I’m fueled godless
Come play, come play
KILL
Just be, just be, just be, just be
I… I stand, (for nothing)
Not crawling, (by myself)
Not falling down
I… I bleed, (for no one)
The demons, (but myself)
That drag me down
I… I stand, (for nothing)
Not crawling, (the center)
Not falling down (of calms within the eye)
I… I’ll bleed, (for no one)
The demons, (but myself)
That drag me down (for me and no one else)

She Is
The Fray
Do not get me wrong I cannot wait for you to come home
For now you’re not here and I’m not there, it’s like we’re on our own
To figure it out, consider how to find a place to stand
Instead of walking away and instead of nowhere to land
This is gonna to break me clean in two
This is gonna to bring me close to you
She is everything I need that I never knew I wanted
She is everything I want that I never knew I needed
It’s all up in the air and we stand still to see what comes down
I don’t know where it is, I don’t know when, but I want you around
When it falls into place with you and I, we go from if to when
Your side and mine are both behind it’s indication
This is gonna bring me clarity
This’ll take the heart right out of me
She is everything I need that I never knew I wanted
She is everything I want that I never knew I needed
This is gonna bring me to my knees
I just wanna hold you close to me
She is everything I need that I never knew I wanted
She is everything I want that I never knew I needed
She is everything I needed
She is everything

The Taste
Five For Fighting
So I seen her
In a land that was forgotten
She brought a candle to my mind
But it got no easier then
So I snuck out of her apartment
I went down to buy a premium
But all that settled was my mind, for a time
Till she showed me what a fire was
I will be a happy man if you’re my sacred son
I could be a dividend if you’re my only one
So I bought 12,000 acres
Suddenly it was a dozen
And for a moment I was blind but for the time
I caught a glimpse inside the universe there
I couldn’t handle the dimensions
See 2+2 can = 5 here
So I sold off unto a lamb, but it was a scam
And he giggled like he’d won the lottery
I will be a happy man if you’re my sacred son
I could be a dividend if you’re my only one
And all the children started singing
There I fell into a coffin
Brought the water in my eyes
(Surprised) I wondered at the miracle there
When it all was finally over
I thought about our time here
Here where everything’s divine
Well I find I still got the taste for you
I still got the taste for you
I still got the taste for you
I still got the taste for you
If you’re my only one

Guilty
Gravity Kills
Behind closed doors your words ring hollow
What you said they’d be
What behavior? Who are you, but I like it
Now I’m done with nothing new, sometimes green sometimes blue
And I’m guilty, and I’m guilty, and I’m guilty, and I’m guilty
And you’re guilty too
Hey Hey Hey I’m guilty and you’re guilty too
Hey Hey Hey Hey
I’ll tell you something, something new
You’re hearing nothing, nothing true
You’re killing me, I’m killing you
And I’m guilty too
One two three, I found you out so easily
One two three, I found in you what I found in me
The time is wrong, the time is right–be careful who you kill tonight
And I’m melting, and I’m melting, and I’m melting, and I’m melting
And I’m melting in you
Hey Hey Hey I’m guilty and you’re guilty too
Hey Hey Hey Hey
One and one and one makes three
One and one why don’t you see
I’m killing you, you’re killing me
Can’t you set me free
Inside out, I can’t describe it, what you do to me
Inside out, I cannot hide it looking right through me
Now I’ve reached the living end, pointing fingers to defend
And I’m guilty, and I’m guilty, and I’m guilty, and I’m guilty
And you’re guilty too
I’ll tell you something, something new
You’re hearing nothing, nothing true
You’re killing me, I’m killing you
And I’m guilty too

Fast As You Can
Fiona Apple
I let the beast in too soon
I don’t know how to live without my hand on his throat
I fight him always and still
Oh darling, it’s so sweet, you think you know how crazy
How crazy I am
You say you don’t spook easy
That you won’t go, but I know and I pray that you will
Fast as you can
Baby, run free yourself of me
Fast as you can
I may be soft in your palm
But I’ll soon go hungry for a fight and I will not let you win
My pretty mouth will frame the phrases that will disprove your faith in man
So if you catch me trying to find my way into your heart
From under your skin
Fast as you can
Baby, scratch me out
Free yourself
Fast as you can
Fast as you can
Baby, scratch me out
Free yourself
Fast as you can
Sometimes, my mind don’t shake and shift
But most of the time it does
And I get to a place where I’m begging for a lift
Or I’ll drove in the wonders and the was
And I’ll be your girl, if you say it’s a gift
And give me some more of your drugs
And I’ll be your pet, if you just tell me it’s a gift
Cuz I’m tired of whys. Choking on whys -
Just need a little because, because
I let the beast in and then I even tried forgiving him
But it’s too soon so I fight again, again, again, again, again
And for a little while more I’ll soar the uneven winds
Complain and blame the sterile lands
But if you’re getting any bright ideas - Quiet dear
I’m blooming within
Fast as you can
Baby, wait, watch me I’ll be out
Fast as I can
May be late, but at least about
Fast as you can
Leave me, let this thing run its route
Fast as you can
Fast as you can
Fast as you can
Fast as you can
