Philip Labes The Hum
[Verse 1]
Further from a tiger everyday
When the world's trying to take all your crazy away
But you were not invented, you were pulled from the womb
And when you were in there, you heard a tune
Hmmmmm
Further from a lover everyday
When the world tries to take the erotic away
But somebody's out there, tonight in the crowd
The moment they hear you, they're gonna turn you up loud
[Chorus]
Thеre's bass in your bloodline and your heart is a drum
Wе're all caught on the E line wherever it runs
You're not a machine, don't let it go numb
There's a tune you knew before you were you
Hold on to the hum
[Verse 2]
When you're under the water, when you're at your church
Tangled with a lover, or deep in your work
Alone in the desert, looking up at the stars
With friends on a bender, at the back of the bar
Hmmmmm
When you give a dollar to a guy on the street
Let go of the self talk, and let yourself eat
Whenever you're laughing, or forget to tweet
You're not being foolish, you're just learning the beat
[Chorus]
There's bass in your bloodline and your heart is a drum
We're all caught on the E line wherever it runs
You're not a machine, don't let it go numb
There's a tune you knew before you were you
Hold on to the hum
[Bridge]
And I can feel as they try
To build up a mall in the fields of my mind
But I am closing my eyes
'Til I hear the hum and I sing along
'Cause I know the rhymes
And then I'm alright
[Verse 3]
So somebody's missing, the tune is off-key
And the room feels too quiet where their voice should be
If you sit for a moment maybe you'll find
A distant humming you recognize
Hmmmmm
Hmmmmm
Hmmmmm
Ahhhhhh
[Chorus]
And when you are flowers and when you are rain
You'll pick up your voice and you'll start singing again
In the wind in the mountains in the crackling fire
There's a tune that you knew before you were you
Now you sing in the choir
There's bass in your bloodline and your heart is a drum (heart is a drum)
We're all caught on the E line wherever it runs (wherever it runs)
You're not a machine, don't let it go numb
There's a tune that you knew before you were you
Hold on to the hum
Hold on to the hum
