Shunned to elucidate ostentatious temperament
We’ve got to draw the line
To ostracize the talented from the contrived
For a gentlemen, soaked to bone in gin
Doing anything to leave that void he’s in
While the born writers craft with pen and a page
The charlatans preach behind a mic on a stage
I won’t pick to pieces what i don’t understand
But i know that no power nor pride makes a man
Forfeit conjecture, relinquish your fear
Stand alone in the penultimate year
Fear draws near, always weighing us down
To a family underground, an airloom stands proud
‘cause he’s not so much his fathers son
More a product of his fathers battles won
Of the blood, sweat, tears, tried and true all these years
Through a bloodline ripe with musical pioneers
Unsung
My heart is heavy, burdened with the weight
Of good men and women who could’ve been great
A moment in it’s radiance will change your mind
And an hour will change your life
Wake up take a chance
Take step out your door
Fuck the money, fuck the fame
Know we can still change this world
Fuck the cardinal charlatans
Pull on that thread
Until the bigotry unravels and reveals amends
Fuck it
Wake up, now, take a step out your door
For the pipe dreams of the luminous and eloquent Shunned to elucidate ostentatious temperament We’ve got to draw the line To ostracize the talented from the contrived For a gentlemen, soaked to bone in gin Doing anything to leave that void he’s in While the born writers craft with pen and a page The charlatans preach behind a mic on a stage I won’t pick to pieces what i don’t understand But i know that no power nor pride makes a man Forfeit conjecture, relinquish your fear Stand alone in the penultimate year Fear draws near, always weighing us down To a family underground, an airloom stands proud ‘cause he’s not so much his fathers son More a product of his fathers battles won Of the blood, sweat, tears, tried and true all these years Through a bloodline ripe with musical pioneers Unsung My heart is heavy, burdened with the weight Of good men and women who could’ve been great A moment in it’s radiance will change your mind And an hour will change your life Wake up take a chance Take step out your door Fuck the money, fuck the fame Know we can still change this world Fuck the cardinal charlatans Pull on that thread Until the bigotry unravels and reveals amends Fuck it Wake up, now, take a step out your door Explain Request ×
