I Hope I'm Alright

There is an uneasiness that hits me every day
There’s a plague on the people and I think I have lost my way
I hope your happy, I hope I’m not sad
I guess if this is it, it’s not so bad
I hope I’m alright, I hope I’m alright
I hope I’m alright, I hope I’m alright
I hope I’m alright, I hope I’m alright
I hope I’m alright, I hope I’m alright
There was a time when you would sit, take it all inside
You can’t take another hit now, and let your feelings hide
You can’t wake up now, You know who you are
When you think you’re somebody else, it won’t get too far
I hope I’m alright, I hope I’m alright
I hope I’m alright, I hope I’m alright
I hope I’m alright, I hope I’m alright
I hope I’m alright, I hope I’m alright
Love was never on my mind, it seemed so far away
Now there’s love all around me, I feel it every day
No time for sadness, No time for pain
There is no more pretending, No time for games
I hope I’m alright, I hope I’m alright
I hope I’m alright, I hope I’m alright
I hope I’m alright, I hope I’m alright
I hope I’m alright, I hope I’m alright
I hope I’m alright, I hope I’m alright
I hope I’m alright, I hope I’m alright
I hope I’m alright, I hope I’m alright
I hope I’m alright, I hope I’m alright

I’ve been alone way too long
It had taken it’s toll on me
When I drag myself out in a crowd
I’m as happy as can be
Time passes by, when you’re not part of the times
One day you’ll wake up, more dead than alive
Stay here if you want, I have had enough
I got to get myself out amongst the people
I never really cared about time
Until I slept it all away
And now sadly I’ve come to find
I can’t relate to any one these days
Time passes by, when you can’t make up your mind
When the heat is on and there are no second tries
Stay here if you want, I just gotta move on
I got to get myself out amongst the people
Time passes by, when you’re not part of the times
One day you’ll wake up, more dead than alive
Stay here if you want, I have had enough
I got to get myself out amongst the people
Do it for yourself, Do it for your health

Welcome to our land, Welcome to our home
We’re so proud to have you here
We’re cutting it right to the bone
It’s about time we listened to someone new
We’ve gone as far as we can go
I’ll never see the things you’ve seen, even in my nightmares
I’ll never taste sweet beauty, even in my dreams
Got the seeds right in front of us
We’ve got all the time in the world
Hey, hey welcome to our land
Hey, hey, let’s evolve my man
They will try their worst, day after day, hour after hour
No one can beat us if we combine our power
We’ve got the kind of bug beauty, most of us have not seen
Even when the blood drips from your mouth, you’re still smiling
We only hear what we’re told
We’re still learning to have soul
Hey, hey welcome to our land
Hey, hey, let’s evolve my man
They will try their worst, day after day, hour after hour
No one can beat us if we combine our power
Hey, hey welcome to our land
Hey, hey, let’s evolve my man
They will try their worst, day after day, hour after hour
No one can beat us if we combine our power, combine our power
Combine our power, combine our power, with the scuba gear
Way down below the ocean, is where I want to be, she may be
Way down below the ocean, is where I want to be, she may be...

You Keep me hanging - and I, I’ve been waiting
Two feet in the air, thinking bout the deal I should have taken
In the Loop I will remain
Off your finger I will hang
swinging back and forth in vein
‘til I’m out of love agian
I try to be patient - but I don’t think that I can make it
There’s truth in my love, but you just won’t even face it
In the Loop I will remain
Off your finger I will hang
swinging back and forth in vein
‘til I’m out of love agian
Maybe things get to real
to be around all the time
I’m counting every breath you steal
while I’m hanging on the line
- solo -
I don’t really want this - everyday is another nail in my coffin
Being with you love, is just like being next to nothing
In the Loop I will remain
Off your finger I will hang
swinging back and forth in vein
‘til I’m out of love again
‘til I’m out of love again
‘til I’m out of love again
‘til I’m out of love again
‘til I’m out of love again
‘til I’m out of love again

Come a long way from the jungle,
but you’re wearing it all over your face
Learn to speak my language,
so you got alot of things you gotta say
Jimmy James, you never speak in poor taste
Jimmy James, I’ll guess your favorite holiday
You’re marching to the screams of the force that we all feel
The wounds that held you down are finally starting to heal
You’re a walking definition of change
You’ve come a long way, Jimmy James
The Army they must pay you,
Cuz you’re wearing them from head to toe
You’ve got no problem telling them,
every single thing that you know
Jimmy James, you never speak in poor taste,
Jimmy James, I’ll guess your favorite holiday
You’re marching to the screams of the force that we all feel
The wounds that slowed you down are finally starting to heal
You’re a walking illustration of change
You’ve come a long way, Jimmy James
Five out of ten of your words will ring true
Now the ones you say the loudest, well that’s up to you
I’ll take you to the corner where your mom and you reside
No one needs to know, it’s the secret I will always....
Jimmy James, you never speak in poor taste,
Jimmy James, I’ll guess your favorite holiday
You’re marching to the screams of the force that we all feel
The wounds that slowed you down, they’re finally starting to heal
You’re a walking definition of change
You’ve come a long way, Jimmy James
Where would we be without your brain
You’ve come a long way JIMMY!

If there were still secrets
then maybe there would be no trouble
what we don't know could never hurt anyway
Now the word is out
And the whole world is ready to crumble
I think we’re witnessing the end of days
It used to be a secret, it used to be satanic
Now it’s just a part of the daily routine
It doesn’t make me nervous, I still think it’s tragic
Judgment day is coming round
and I don’t feel a thing
If we’re both guilty
then maybe we’ll go down together
Then we’ll take the time
to learn each other’s names
or maybe we’ll get by
and they won’t know any better
if we’re going down we’re going down in flames
It used to be a secret, it used to be satanic
Now it’s just a part of the daily routine
It doesn’t make me nervous, I still think it’s tragic
Judgment day is coming round
and I don’t feel a thing
Judgment day is coming round
and I don’t feel a thing

Couldn’t tell you the truth if I wanted to
It seemed to slip my head
If I could do the things that are right
You know I’d rather do them instead
But I’m confused
and the words aren’t coming through
I’d like to show you things that I can find
When you find me in the right mind
When you find me in the right mind
When you find me in the right mind
Wouldn’t believe the truth if you wanted to
I really want to come inside
I sorry that i didn’t make it
Though I know it sounds alot like a lie
But I’m confused
and the words aren’t coming through
I’d like to separate the packs of lies
When you find me in the right mind
When you find me in the right mind
When you find me in the right mind
A change is gonna come, I can see it in these skies
fortune moving ahead, with all kinds of advice
Experience the plan your faith has advised
I am trying hard now, can’t you see it in my eyes
When you find me in the right mind
When you find me in the right mind
When you find me in the right mind

Tell me how this happened again?!
A sentence with no chance to defend
You can let the punishment begin
No one is going to learn their lesson
This time at the incident
There were not enough witnesses
The ones that were there weren’t listening
So I knew I wouldn’t come out innocent
How come you never feel ashamed?
Where you choose to throw the blame
It must get worse and worse with age
You’re gonna carry it to your grave
This time at the incident
There were not enough witnesses
And the ones that were there weren’t listening
So I knew I wouldn’t come out innocent
This time at the incident
There were not enough witnesses
the ones that were there weren’t listening
So I knew I wouldn’t come out innocent
It must worse and worse with age
gonna carry it to your grave
Let the punishment begin
Let the punishment begin

I try to look on the brighter side
but it’s not working right now
I try to hold it way down inside
but it’s just hurting right now
It’s way past the time
When it should be a smooth ride
It’s getting later and later
We’ve not moving fast
Nothing I know that could ever last here
So go and take what you see
it’s just a little disease
You’re not wasting your time on a change to come
Everybody says I’m falling behind
what I’m doing is wrong
maybe I wasn’t made for these times
we’ll just never get along
It’s way past the time
When Things should be alright
It’s getting later and later
We’ve not moving fast
There’s nothing I love that could ever last here
So go and take what you see
it’s just a little disease
You’re not wasting your time on a change to come
There was a time when I heard you lie
When there was reason to doubt
Now I know where you’ve been this whole time
So we’re both even now
It’s way past the time
When Things should be right
It’s getting later and later
We’ve not moving faster
There’s nothing I love that could ever last here
So go and take what you see
it’s just a little deceipt
You’re not wasting your time on a change to come...
You’re not wasting your time waiting on a change to come
You’re not wasting your time on any one

MODAFFERI - Leave It
03:19

I don’t even know me now,
I lost my life, I lost my mind
Baby did I do this to myself
Baby did I get a little help?
Maybe I just needed more time,
Maybe we weren’t done healing
I could never understand,
The pain you were feeling
My words sound deep, my thoughts are deeper
I’m ignoring the thoughts that say leave it, leave it
You could never make me leave it.
Everything seems so hard,
Now I’m home dreaming of a new start
My plans and schemes suddenly mean nothing,
time has stopped, I am stranded
When did the world start spinning?
When will I, when will I start winning?
If my words sound deep, my thoughts are deeper
I’m ignoring the scream that say leave it, leave it
You could never make me leave it.
You could never, you could never,
you could never make me leave it
You could never, you could never,
you could never make me leave it
You could never, you could never,
you could never make me leave it, Oh

None of this music belongs to us
So please don’t stamp it with your name
We’d like to share it with you but we’re fighting for trust
The man upstairs will throw the blame
We got ideas They’re not our own
given to us from a great unkown
Calculating ones and zeros for someone that’s not there
All intimidated by the lack of hits
The sounds given to us are lighter than air
There’s not fear of Jesus in the mix
Sell your soul for a lifeless trip
time for the saints to get over it
It doesn’t have to be this way
You never wanta come but you always want to stay
None this music belongs to us
Please don’t stamp it with your name
Please don’t stamp it with your name
Please don’t stamp it with your name
Please don’t stamp it with your name

MODAFFERI - Crack it
04:12

Every one here is afraid to shake your hand
You know I’m not, I think I know your kind of man
All the blood from before, doesn’t mean that much to me
I never took death so seriously
It all happens so naturally
I don’t find you guilty at all
Trying hard to cut the roots your born in
Careful now, you’re gonna fall
Oh, It’s not easy for you at all
Keep slinging ice, It’s gonna kill you now for sure
You gotta point them out, or you won’t find an easy cure
Don’t need no friend, unless your family totally,
Nothing special, unless your acting normally
Don’t take it so seriously
Turn dust and swept down the hall
Slowly losing trust that you commanded
Brick by brick, tearing they’re down the walls
Oh, it’s not easy for you at all
To be themselves they’re gonna write you off
Gonna shove you right out of the door
Just because they gotta cut you loose
Doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t care anymore
Don’t take it so seriously
Turn dust and swept down the hall
Slowly losing trust that you commanded
Brick by brick, tearing they’re down the walls
Oh, it’s not easy for you at all
No, it’s not easy for you at all

Spoke too quickly to be real,
and I got it hanging on the line
too late now to make adeal
but I know I gotta take what’s mine
What I love is what I’m missing.
What I’m missing I threw away
It’s the hand of death that I’ve been kissing,
and it looks as if it’s here to stay
And Like every one I have selfish desires
Wondering if it takes too much time
Doesn’t matter to me, it never stopped me before
I’m ready to pay for the crime
Tried to reach me through the weekend
but my mind was stuck on something else
I was going up and the hill got steep fast
you must have known that I already failed
I feel like going down to the empty room
where I’ll find no responsibility.
I’ll surrender myself and go straight to the ground
before they calculate the dead weight in me
And just Like every one I have selfish desires
Wondering if it takes too much time
Doesn’t matter to me, it never stopped me before
I’m ready to pay for the crime, crime...

MODAFFERI Syracuse, New York
If Tom Petty and Elvis Costello had a love child, it would sound like Modafferi.
"Brian
[Modafferi] is such an inventive and clever musician and song writer. I love the wide open vulnerability and honesty within it. It feels both raw and very refined, all at once. When I hear this group I am inspired to go home and play and write songs because I love theirs so much."
