about

This groovy modern funk track is the first song written with new bassist Trent Gilson. After a big, punchy intro, the verse is a smooth sonic blend of a melodic bassline leading beneath a blanket of spacey modulated guitar and keyboards. The song tells the story of a broken heart and redeeming self-assurance before a villainesque theatrical bridge builds to a freeing final chorus. Deep questions arise as old relationships fade and new quests are set in this eye opening ballad of a broken man; where the strength to carry on relies on the groove to set you free.

lyrics

Two different people
Disconnected at the soul
No common ground to stand on
Just a stand off push and pull

How did we get here
And from here where do we go
You say fear of failure
I believe in the unknown

Baby give it to me
These feelings isn't free
You say you've got control
What the hell does that mean to me

Baby give me some more
What the hell are we fighting for
Uncommon at the core
True colors can't be ignored

What are we fighting for
Uncommon at the core
True colors cant be ignored

Open up my soul
(I'm movin' on)
I'm feeling out of control
(My heart is mine to own)
A fever deep within
(Your heart is not my home)
I've got you under my skin

This feeling isn't free
She won't come back to me
And I can't believe
This dream can't be achieved

So she showed me the door
Infection with out a cure
Remnants only remain
From a love that wasn't pure

Baby please believe
I wear my heart on my sleeve
We tried our best
But left our hearts open enough to bleed

She gave me what I need
In return I paid the fee
This feeling it burns
Embers of the highest degree

What are we fighting for
Uncommon to the core
True colors can't be ignored

Open up my soul
(I'm movin' on)
I'm feeling out of control
(My heart is mine to own)
A fever deep within
(Your heart is not my home)
I've got you under my skin
