Downtime Songtext
von Eminence Ensemble

I can′t decide if we're designed
To feed our pockets or to feed our minds
So consistently insistent
On the risk of wasting time
(All my time)

As the days turn into weeks
Forgetting what it′s like to be asleep
Still we dream while we're awake
Circling the maze

Changing directions
I'm losing connection
Need something to bring me back

Give me a little downtime
That′s what I need
Working every day and that ain′t working for me
You need a little downtime
Work on yourself
Only after then can you love somebody else


All the things attached to strings
And plastic fingers in the sky
This obsession for progression
Is possessing all my time
(All my time)

As the days turn into years
At this age time seems to disappear
Still we dream while we're awake
Circling the maze

Changing directions
I′m losing connection
Need something to bring me back

Give me a little downtime
That's what I need
Working every day and that ain′t working for me
You need a little downtime
Work on yourself
Only after then can you love somebody else


Don't make plans that you can′t keep
With all the people that you meet
There's only so much time you have to focus on your life
There's no need to justify the days you spend just killing time
You′re better off believing that sometimes it′s what you need
Don't make plans that you can′t keep
With all the people that you meet
There's only so much time you have to focus on your life
There′s no need to justify the days you spend just killing time
You're better off believing that sometimes it′s what you need

Give me a little downtime
That's what I need
Working every day and that ain't working for me
You need a little downtime
Work on yourself
Only after then can you love somebody else
Give me a little downtime
That′s what I need
Working every day and that ain′t working for me
You need a little downtime
Work on yourself
Only after then can you love somebody else
