Reciprocal Rhythm

Lyrics

Imagination is Everything
(JFK moon-shot quote)

(V1)
I'm lost in my obsession
I love my ever-present
Smartphone
Like Aladdin's lamp
Swipe and tap and watch your wishes happen

(V2)
Think I understand what consumer fate is
Make me wanna grab all the latest greatest
Sell me
In thirty second ads
Tell me what I want what I need and gotta have

(CH)
Ooo There's a quiet place deep inside of us
Ooo We can have anything we want because
Imagination is Everything

(V3)
My work's enough to kill me
My worth's in doubt so bill me
Plastic
It's the modern cash
Instant money in the land of milk and honey

(V4)
I grew up on greed and gratification
Never had a need for meditation
Spirit
The forgotten power
Lost in streaming mega-data dreaming

(CH)
Ooo There's a quiet place deep inside of us
Ooo We can have anything we want because
Imagination is Everything
Imagination is Everything

(BR)
A scarlet thread lies hidden deep inside a book
It seems the best part is the one we overlook
Exception or Example shining through the moral haze
The silver lining in these flesh and bloody days

Imagination is Everything
Imagination is Everything

(CH - var.)
A place deep inside of us
Anything we want because
A place deep inside of us

(1/2 - CH)
Ooo There's a quiet place deep inside of us
Ooo We can have anything

(1/2 - CH)
Ooo There's a quiet place deep inside of us
Ooo We can have "Anything"

Imagination
(I'm so used to being told what to do)
is Everything
(Why do my senses seem to hide the truth)
Imagination
(I'm so numb from being told what to do)
is Everything
(How would I feel if what I want came true)
Imagination
(I'm so tired of being told what to do)
is Everything
(I dream a better world for me and you)
