Fly

Falling faster, falling harder
Did you learn it from your father
Did you learn it just to pass the time
Can it be unlearned, contained to sound?
Or will it leave be on the ground? Oh
Did you just call me a liar
While we’re dancing round the fire?
Is it easier in the afternoon?
Did you ever feel like breaking down and learned it to appease the crowd?
What would it take to fly so far I’ll never seen again?
What would it take to fly so far to be removed from how this ends?
I had my chance to grace this stage and I threw it all away
But so far haven’t grown my wings, so I’ll be here another day
Did you just call me a liar
While we’re staring at your fire?
Is it easier if you never say?
Can it be transformed to something new or will it fester in the stew? Oh
Where did you come from and uh would you just leave me alone?
We’ve marching orders for you to get the hell out of my bones
You had your chance, you slowed me down, and now it’s time you’re on your way
I haven’t grown my wings out yet, it should be just another day
Oh demon fly from me, or will you chase me to the end?
You had my voice, you had my dreams, and now you won’t be here again
You had your chance to strike me down, yeah, and you just ran out of time
So I’ll throw your poison down the drain and I’ll be doing just fine
I’ll be doing just fine
I’ll be doing just fine

Losing Sleep//Excuses
05:07

I'm losing sleep again
I'm losing confidence
And can somebody tell me when
I will ever be free again
Because I understand you, does that mean
I am beholden to you?
Because I understand you...
I'm losing sleep again
I'm losing confidence
When will I be free again?
I'm running out of excuses
And I'm running into you again
Because I understand you, does that mean I am beholden to you?
Because I understand you...

Realize

You will never feel that which you throw
You can never say what you don't know
You will never take back the last blow
So you step back
Wait another day
Got to grow up
Got to get away
You will never take back what you did
You can never fix that or change it
Never feel you truly got away with it
But you realize
That with time and space
There's an answer
So don't look away
Realize it's ok to not know
Realize it's ok to feel ashamed
But don't look away
Realize who's right there beside you
Realize when it's there inside you, ok?
So don't look away
You can never say what you dont know
You will never see if you don't go
Step back and choose who to follow
Cause you realize
That with time and space
There’s an answer
So don't look away
Realize it's ok to not know
Realize it's ok to feel astray
Happens every day
Realize it’s ok not to be ok
And it's ok to look away
Just not all day
Just not all day

Say It All
04:06
|

|
Up long after I've gone to bed
The mistakes all dancing in my head
Try but can't keep them away
Seems it's just another blessed day
When the silence breeds discontent
Do I forgive myself, and chase happiness?
When there's so much goes left unsaid
Who can say it all before we're dead?
Lost and I can't fall asleep
Feels like danger's creeping over me
I try but can't keep that away
So it's just another blessed day
But I'm not alone
Yeah I know I've got you
If I didn't then I just don't know what I'd do
When the silence breeds discontent
Can I forgive myself, and chase happiness?
When there's so much goes left unsaid
Who can say it all before we're dead?
And I'm not alone
Yeah I know I've got you
If I didn't then I just don't know what I'd do
When the silence breeds discontent
Can I forgive myself, and chase happiness?
When there's so much goes left unsaid
Who can say it all before we're dead?
Before we're dead, before we're dead
Who can say it all before we're dead?
When there's so much goes left unsaid
Who can say it all before we're dead?

Stuck on Repeat

Feel like I'm stuck on repeat, like I'm stuck on repeat
Feel like I'm stuck on repeat, like I'm stuck on repeat
(repeats)
And I'm calling out your name
And I'm calling for you
And I'm calling out your name
And I'm calling for you

Start with Jubilee. The demo EPs are
mostly midi instruments.

Modern messages that get stuck in your head.
Lyrical observations on life in America.
Do you believe that ska can save the world?

Atlas & Oracle recommends:
Afterglow
by Flying Raccoon Suit
There are parts to dance to, there are parts to headbang to, and sometimes you'll want to do both in the same song. Each song is its own sonic world. Ska, but also punk, metal, and indie.
go to album
This album takes a traditionally rooted but definitively modern approach to ska with an anti-racist message that's refreshingly political. One of the best debuts in ska, and there's stiff competition.

My Checkered Future
by Eichlers
Each track introduces brand new sounds to ska. This album makes me excited to be alive for this era of ska music, and even more excited for the checkered future.
