lyrics

I was only awake for a reason,
The reasons you have to believe,
So we all take a walk through the seasons,
The seasons they wind and they weave.

I was only asleep for a season,
The seasons they flow and retrieve,
And we all tend to talk of unreasons,
Unreason that screams disbelief.

I was only awake for a reason,
I was only awake for a reason,
I was only awake for a reason,
I was only awake,
Awake for a reason.

Flowing slowly away on occasion,
Occasions they come and they go,
Most will get lost in translation,
Translations we already know.

I was only awake for a reason,
I was only awake for a reason,
I was only awake for a reason,
I was only awake,
Awake for a reason.

heard this on Drive 95 BFM, I was walking at the time past a bus stop, so I wrote the name of the artist down, by the bus stop, and well here we are, and it was onto track 2. good lorde Whyte Rushan

It's All In Your Head
by The Kundalini Genie

supported by 8 fans who also own “Awake for a Reason”

Similar to King Gizzard anything this band releases is pure gold. I remember finding them a couple of years ago during a not so eventful office day. I was instantly blown away, so as an avid "odd" music collector I did my research, and came to the conclusion that this is one of the greatest band of all time. I just wish I could get a physical copy. Oh well, one day I will. Aradaan

What a strong debut album packed with a bunch of great songs. Highly recommend to everyone who likes the modern take on this kind of late 60s psych-rock. Papa Jay (Radio Smorgasbord)
