First single release off of the upcoming full length "Bohemian Catastrophe," to be released 10/15/18

lyrics

I’m no true believer
I don’t need a reason to live
But I’m no bystander
I’m just always standing in someone else’s space

And they hate one another
They scream and yell at each other
Use each other like a human shield
A perpetual straw man
Doomed to combust and set the fields aflame

I guess I’m some kinda cynic
I won’t kiss anybody’s feet
I don’t ask for nothin”
I put others before me

And I’ve wore a smile when
I probably should’ve been crying
Just to spite those that’re causing me pain
Let this glorious spite sustain
And see this world try to out-insane

The kids from the waiting room
Stop running
(stop running)
Stop hiding
(stop hiding)

Here’s your anti-fascist
Here’s one who wants unity
Here’s your son of visionaries
Who listens to what other people have to say

You can play in the game, son
But games are for children
And the rules insure a swift defeat
So don’t play into their hand
Unplug, and turn away your eyes
And join the world

(Close your mouth, open your eyes)
The kids from the waiting room
Stop running
(stop running)
Stop hiding
(stop hiding)
The kids from the waiting room
Stop running
(stop running)
Stop hiding
(stop hiding)
