So I really want to hear
the song you’ve been writing
you sorta disappeared
wonder where you’ve been hiding
It’s taken a long time
are you chasing perfection?
Or is that just a disguise
for your fear of rejection?
Could you roar any softer?
So quiet Leo
So quiet Leo
So I really want to know
Is it finally finished?
Are you ready to let go
and let somebody hear it?
What excuses hold you back?
Are you constantly burned out?
Is it confidence you lack?
Is your volume just turned down?
Could you roar any softer?
So quiet Leo
So quiet Leo

Spectacular Failure

Breaking up with California
so beautiful
we can’t afford ya
It’s nobody’s fault
we gave it our all
no need to defend it
It’s not like we had
some vision or plan
just swing for the fences
We were stuck in Indiana
suffocating couldn’t stand it
Remembering when
the continents end
could seem so enchanting
We’ve struggled enough
we have to dig up
the roots that we’ve planted
Now we’re driving
back to Georgia
at least there’s family waiting for us
I’ll never escape
the feeling of failure
but whatever we face
I know that you’ll be there
I know you’ll be there
I know you’ll be there

Endless Pattern
04:12

Reason
they won’t listen to reason
so that argument’s done
Feeling
I can’t emphasize feeling
When my empathy’s gone
It’s a real brutal cycle
It’s an endless pattern
But it’s beyond my control
So it doesn’t matter
Right now
My mettle is melt down
Pour it into a mold
Let down
By the way that it turns out
I’m not made of gold
(Goldenboy)
It’s a real brutal cycle
It’s an endless pattern
But if I sound cynical
Well it doesn’t matter
I still have faith in you
I still have faith in you
Can we break through the cycle?
Can we end this pattern?
It may seem impossible
But it doesn’t matter
I still have faith in you
I still have faith in you

For the Money

Waiting for
the meeting to end
I’ve got more
email to send
I don’t know the purpose
but I can pretend
I don’t mind
I do it for the money
The king
surveyed the
conference room
and sang an old familiar tune
The more they’re divided
the more they’ll consume
I think you all know what to do
do it for the money
I only read headlines
the articles bore me
there couldn’t be
a more obvious warning
the hills are all burning
it’s still getting drier
the sky is on fire
the sky is on fire
We all want
someone to blame
someone to shun
someone to shame
Just give ‘em a sound bite
keep feeding their rage
put more ads up on the page
and we’ll keep making money
I read all the headlines
but there's no surprises
pundits and liars
protest and riots
The hills are all burning
it’s still getting drier
the sky is on fire
the sky is on fire
A fatal flaw
of human design
we'll scroll until
we’re pacified
A dopamine dripline
get back to the grind
a few more likes
and you'll be fine
just do it for the money

Waiting

Waiting for the worst to come
Waiting for the worst to come
I’m not seeing anyone
I'm not getting close
How can they believe that nothing's wrong?
How can they believe that nothing's wrong?
Waiting for the worst to end
Waiting for the worst to end
Things are getting bad again
I’m not leaving home
How can they believe that nothing's wrong
How can they believe that nothing's wrong

Happy Place
04:10

I feel like tomorrow is gone
today hasn’t even begun
I’m fearful that i might become
completely despondent
Is it possible to appreciate
the boundaries that I can’t escape
the crows are keeping me awake
I guess i gotta start another day
It’s all i know
Back home
compulsively checking my phone
It helps me to feel less alone
I need correspondence
I wish that you weren't so far away
but it’s better when I can see your face
at least the choppy video
makes it a bit more bearable
It’s all I know
Stop the obsession
obsessively watching the news
don’t let all the constant negativity
seep into you
So for now, we’ll just make the decision to
alter our plans
and at least you can feel like that someone you
love understands
I hope that we’ll find our happy place
it has to be something we create
might as well start right here at home
‘cause there’s nowhere else that we can go
it’s all I know

Lifeline

Maybe you should face the truth
if you wanted it more
you'd have a better attitude
and start to restore
The feeling that’s gone
the spell that’s been broken
But I can’t tell you what to do
it’s up to you
Maybe we should find out?
Well maybe we should find out?
What happens when you visualize
what your life’s like
when you prioritize
the things that make your light shine?
(maybe next time)?
Find another avenue
that you can explore
This old fortress of solitude
might open its doors
Maybe we should find out?
Well maybe we should find out?
What happens when you visualize
what your life’s like
when you prioritize
the things that make your light shine?
You’ll find your lifeline
You’ll find your lifeline
(maybe next time)

Inevitable Comedown
03:59
|
|||
|
The embers in the fire are faded
as we linger in the light of the dawn
our eyes are still a little dilated
I have no idea what the time is
I don’t want to know
I don’t want to face
the inevitable
comedown
you start to fade
Still I cannot deny
looking back on it all
we definitely arrived
at something beautiful
that bordered on divine
A luminescent tangle of wires
has drained down all of our batteries
as the generator expires
I'm running low on epiphanies
You start to fade
Hopefully we will find
when the vision subsides
we’re left with more than what
the chemicals provide
they only helped our minds
ignite
Take take take a look around now
What are we gonna do?
gradually starting to come down
slowly we’re becoming subdued
take take take a look around us
it’s so hard to decipher the truth
honestly it's too much to process
I close my eyes and melt into you

Still

Eyes wide open
Face what happens
Keep on livin’
Keep on learnin’
And then it’s done
when it’s done it’s done
and then you’re gone
when you’re gone you’re gone
But when you’re young
well then you’re young young young
and when you’re grown
well when you’re grown you’re grown
Mama...
still breathing
Brother…
still breathing
Father…
is missing
Sister…
hang on
The night is young
Hang on
Your soul is young
(hold on)
Your soul is young
(hold on)
Your soul is young
(hold on)

Old Man
Go home
Your Job
is done
Go ahead
go away
we’ll shred
your resume
You’re too young to retire
hold your feet to the fire
’til you find inspiration
now how far will you take it?
If you’re willing to borrow
you could finance tomorrow
you could really go all out
don’t be scared of the fallout
Old Man
get to work
dig your hands
in the dirt
Dig deep
excavate
your dream
to create
You’re too young to retire
hold your feet to the fire
this is not a vacation
don’t f@#king waste it
If you’re willing to borrow
you could finance tomorrow
you could really go all out
you can handle the fallout
