A new single from our ever-forthcoming sophomore album.

lyrics

Oblio (The Song)

Our pride evolves to being arrogance and then,
We try so hard to seem effortless.
I get tired as hell of being tired all the time.
Tripping on our egos; It has to be a sign.

“What is that sound?
Hope the band don’t play too loud."
Give up. Give in.
I’m getting older, I guess.

(Did you give up your dream,) of a hero oblio?
(Stop exaggerating…) We’re all weirdos, oblio.
(You’d come back as a ghost.) To keep this dream alive.
(There’s no reason to be) this morose, but I guess…
I get burned out.

It’s not a minivan, It’s a getaway car.
It’s humbling at least; I thought I’d be a star.
They say “you kids have soul”, but I don’t trust a rumor.
Now, what’s more cynical than my sense of humor?

"Get up. Get down.
Hope the band don’t play too loud."
Give up. Give in.
I’m getting older, I guess.

Do you think that they’ll make a living?
God knows how they’ll go on gigging.
Sing me “Lilly”, if the heart is willing,
We’ll share our love in a song,
If you get burned out.

(Did you give up your dream,) of a hero oblio?
(Stop exaggerating…) We’re all weirdos, oblio.
(Sew this song up your seem,) play it loud as you go.
(There’s no reason to be) this morose, but I guess…
I get burned out.
