Music of the Future
"It’s a relatable theme that gives the band's energetic sound an introspective undertow."

All You Need Is Punk
Lyrics
V1:
Setting up for failure now
I see just how i missed my time
(Woah oh)
Feels like the choice I made was center stage
When I let you all down
(My backs against the wall)
Pre:
Please believe I can not see
A way out for me now
Chorus:
Pick me up I’ll let you down
She calls my name I turn to see
No one’s around
V2:
Nevermind the way we came about to be
Where I took my time
(Woah Oh)
Run away and then come crawling back to me
WIll this ever end
(My hands are tied)
Pre:
Please believe I can not see
A way out for me now
Chorus:
Pick me up I’ll let you down
She calls my name I turn to see
That no one’s around
Bridge
I need to sit and figure out
But I’m tuning in, fading out, shutting down
I need to see some clarity
There’s no way out
End Chorus
Pick me up I’ll let you down
She calls my name I turn to see
That no one’s around
Gang Vocals
(Woah)
I Guess I'll never know
(Woah)
And that's the way it goes
(Woah)
As above so below
(Woah)
I’m fading out
