Rushed right past

Chasing what might be, not what occurs

Look around and read the signs
Notice patterns between the lines
The passing moment can reveal
Something real you didn’t feel

About the Song
Adrenaline (also called epinephrine) is a vital hormone and chemical messenger made by your adrenal glands on top of your kidneys. It pours into your blood during fear, stress, or excitement, triggering the “fight-or-flight” response to help you react quickly to danger.

How Adrenaline Affects the Body
Heart rate: Your heart beats faster to push more blood to your muscles.
Breathing: Your airways open up wide so you can take in more air.
Energy: Your body releases stored sugar into your blood for quick power.
Focus: Your brain becomes hyper-alert and sharp.

Twist up the thought, then inspect the effects

Words wound tight but the meaning gets loose
Sound in the sentence, now what’s your use?
Wrap one idea with another in line
Flip the perspective and change up the rhyme

Rapped up, wrapped up, tied to the beat
Words hit the pavement with a shuffle of feet
Found what was hidden beneath all the stuff
You got the message?

Yup.

[Silence]

[Instrumental, Guitar, Piano, Organ, Synth, Bass, Percussion, Drums]

[Intro]
[Instrumental Intro: Tense Bass Pulse, Echo Guitar, Rolling Drums, Organ Swells]
[Spoken Vocal]
Is the hardest step…

The one away from the edge?

Out from under…

Back on your feet…

Now choose where you stand.
(And where we land)

[Refrain]
Out from under
(The bus)
So much better
(For us)

Now, careful
(Up on the ledge)
Forego going
(Over the edge)

[Verse 1]
Climb out from the wheels below
Find your balance, take it slow
Dust and danger left behind
Keep your footing, clear your mind

One more step and then you see
There is still a choice to be
Lean too far and lose your ground
Step back… turn yourself around

[Pre-Chorus]
Easy does it
(Watch your feet)
Find your balance
(Keep the beat)

[Refrain]
Out from under
(The bus)
So much better
(For us)

Now, careful
(Up on the ledge)
Forego going
(Over the edge)

[Instrumental]
[Guitar Solo: Singing Lead Guitar, Rolling Bass, Heavy Drums, Swirling Organ]

[Verse 2]
One more push, another shove
Abandoning all but love
… recovery can start
With a steady hand and heart

[Bridge]
Over?
(No!)

The edge?
(Not yet!)

Take a breath
(And step back)

Regain your balance
(Stay on track)

[Breakdown]
[Minimal Bass, Sparse Drums, Echo Guitar]
The ledge is real…

The choice – the deal…

Careful…

After all…

(Who wants to fall?)

[Final Chorus]
Out from under
(The bus)
So much better
(For us)

Now, careful
(Up on the ledge)
Forego going
(Over the edge)

Don’t go over
(Not today)
Find your balance
(Find your way)

Back from the ledge
(Back from the brink)
Take another step
(Stop and think)

Out from under
(The bus)
Standing stronger
(That’s us)

[Outro]
[Instrumental Outro: Bass Groove, Echo Guitar, Organ Fade, Rolling Percussion]
Out from under
(The bus)
So much better
(For us)

Now, careful
(Up on the ledge)
Forego going
(Over the edge)

[Silence]

[Instrumental, Guitar, Piano, Organ, Synth, Bass, Percussion, Drums]

[Intro]
[Instrumental Intro: Heavy Bass, Chugging Guitar, Rolling Drums, Organ Stabs]
[Spoken Vocal]
When the wheels are turning…

Keep on learning.

[Refrain]
Thrown
(Under the bus)
Known
(Nevertheless)

It’s important for us
(Not to rollover)
We must recover

[Verse 1]
When the pressure starts to rise
Pointing fingers, alibis
Passing blame from hand to hand
Trying hard to make a stand

Thrown beneath the wheels of doubt
Waiting for a way back out
But the truth can still remain
Even underneath the blame

[Pre-Chorus]
Roll away
(The easy choice)
Stand and face it
(Find your voice)

[Chorus]
Under the bus
(But still alive)
Under the weight
(Still we survive)

Knocked down hard
(But not erased)
Find the ground
(And find your place)

Under the bus
(That’s not the end)
Rise again
(And make amends)

[Instrumental, Psychedelic Jam, Percussion Break]
[Refrain]
Thrown
(Under the bus)
Known
(Nevertheless)

It’s important for us
(Not to rollover)
We must recover

[Verse 2]
So someone takes the fall
To protect the greater all
Made up blame that’s manufactured
While the evidence is captured

[Instrumental]
[Guitar Solo: Distorted Guitar, Rolling Bass, Driving Drums, Organ Swells]

[Bridge]
Thrown
(Under the bus)
Known
(Nevertheless)

Turn around
(Recover)
Stand your ground
(Discover)

What went wrong
(What went right)
What we learned
(From the fight)

[Breakdown]
[Beat drops to bass and muted guitar]
You can blame…
(Evade the shame?)

You can hide…

You can roll over…

Or…

You can discover.

[Final Chorus]
Thrown
(Under the bus)
Known
(Nevertheless)

It’s important for us
(Not to rollover)
We must recover

Under the bus
(But still alive)
Under the pressure
(Still we rise)

Thrown down hard
(But not defeated)
Back on our feet
(Still undefeated)

[Outro]
[Instrumental Outro: Rolling Guitar, Heavy Bass, Organ, Big Drum Finish]
Don’t roll over…

Recover…

Get back up…

And keep moving…

(Improving)

[Silence]

[Instrumental, Guitar, Piano, Organ, Synth, Bass, Percussion, Drums]

[Intro]
[Instrumental Intro: Choppy Guitar, Driving Bass, Tight Drums, Sharp Organ Stabs]
[Spoken Vocal]
Fact…

Fiction…

(In between)

… Friction!

[Refrain]
Fact and fiction
(Keep ’em separated)
Tact in decision
(Or dreams evaporated)

[Verse 1]
Stories travel, rumors grow
Some are real and some just show
Words can twist and facts can bend
Truth can vanish round the bend

Check the source and check the claim
Look for evidence, name the game
Pause before you take a side
Keep your judgment open wide

[Pre-Chorus]
Truth is found
(Check the proof)
Look around
(Find the truth)

[Chorus]
Keep ’em separated
(Fact from fiction)
Keep ’em separated
(Make the distinction)

Evidence
(From assumption)
Reason
(From reaction)

[Refrain]
Fact and fiction
(Keep ’em separated)
Tact in decision
(Isn’t imitated)

[Verse 2]
A confident voice can still be wrong
A catchy story can travel long
A polished claim can miss the mark
A little doubt can light the dark

[Instrumental]
[Heavy Guitar Riff, Bass Groove, Drums, Organ, Synth]
[Refrain]
Fact and fiction
(Keep ’em separated)
Tact in decision
(Or dreams evaporated)

[Bridge]
Fact!
(Check it)

Fiction!
(Test it)

[Refrain]
Fact and fiction
(Keep ’em separated)
Tact in decision
(Or dreams evaporated)

Tact in decision
(Think it through)
Careful distinction
(What will you do?)

[Breakdown]
[Minimal Beat, Bass Pulse, Spoken Vocal]
Separate…
(The irate)

Compare…
(What’s there)

[Final Chorus]
Fact and fiction
(Keep ’em separated)
Tact in decision
(Or dreams evaporated)

Evidence
(From assumption)
Reason
(From reaction)

Keep ’em separated
(Fact from fiction)
Keep ’em separated
(Make the distinction)

[Outro]
[Instrumental Outro: Choppy Guitar, Rolling Bass, Tight Drums, Organ Fade]
Fact…

Fiction…

Keep ’em separated…

Until educated.
