about

this is the first song off of my next EP
the working title of my next EP is "implement my sh**!!!" but who knows that's a bizarre title so I'll probably change it at some point. also I'll release it sometime in october I'm thinking

enjoy!!! I know its long af but some people have patience for piano ballads when they're long and lush and pretty :)

lyrics

Tell me I’m not the one
I’m not the one who always trusted the security were put under
Say that I’ve got the words “I’ve got the words that will make kingdoms fall"

But I’m not your savior spy angel
I’m not a superhero in any right
We can create the unpaved genius that changes the world
And puts leaps of faith into place

Tell me “fists rise but only when theres a catalyst”
Speak up or else the wise won’t listen heartily
I’m put under heat every day of my life and I trust that this war will end soon

But I’m not your savior spy angel
We were born in the plaster houses with cameras in walls
We were watched while we transformed ourselves before our own eyes

Nobody’s gonna hold your hand here so just let the waves lift them above the water
I wasn’t simply placed in valhalla excuse you, excuse me
We're told to only seek the right answer, but who defines it when you’re never growing old
The best man is never a candidate, and yes we will stoop down
Trust me, no change of laws will play out until we all put in our soul-work

And I’m your savior spy angel
