The Palmer Squares
Leave It On
[Verse 1: Stevie Ray]
Leave it on, leave it on
Sleeping with the TV on
You know me, I can't dream 'less the screen is on
Scheming on, demons are
At least doing tours without floors that we sleeping on
I think I'm not myself
I've been gone for too long, I think I lost myself
Shit, to make a couple dollars, I exhaust myself
Just to celebrate some shit that I bought myself
I'm in a maze and there's no way out
'Cause when you at the top, that's a long way down
But when you at the bottom, that's a tall-ass mountain
I'm just hoping I amount to more than what my account says
I'm down in the basement, where most of my doubts live
The feelings amazing, I can't ever doubt it
I need a vacation, can it just be here
'Cause this beer taste like freshman year
[Chorus: Terminal Knowledge]
And all my demons hide behind that screen
There's ghosts up in the hallway but unless somebody calls me, I don't scream (I don't scream)
Unless somebody calls me, I don't scream
[Verse 2: Stevie Ray]
Leave it be, leave it be
Sleep in front the TV screen
Sometimes I wonder what it is that people see in me
And recently it's like I'm almost there
'Till it all falls down, feels so unfair
But I know pain just a part of our growth
And I know change just a product of hope
I been looking for love, but all my friends are on drugs
Anytime that we hug, I can tell that they numb
But how could I judge? I'm right there with 'em and shit
Spent a life time drinking more liquor and shit
I know the truth is that we really the same
And all we tryin' do is just deal with this pain
But I'm glad that you here, I'm grateful to see you
I'm scared of the truth, but I been tryin' to see it through
I waited this long so that I could feel you
But not that you gone, I can finally hear you
[Chorus: Terminal Knowledge]
And all my demons hide behind that screen
There's ghosts up in the hallway but unless somebody calls me, I don't scream (I don't scream)
Unless somebody calls me, I don't scream
[Verse 3: Acumental]
Ready, aim, shoot, bang
Life is a boomerang: what goes around comes around, let me do my thang
'Cause I ain't never been bad, evil or nothin'
And if I ever was I could handle the repercussion
Used to lash out, throwing stones in the glass house
Now I stand proud, even though I've had doubts
'Bout to shout it from the top of a mountain
I'm tryin' to pull a stack of dollars out my pocket and count 'em
Ac' and Stevie stay glued to the TV
PG movies on loop? Now I'm sleepy
Dreamin' of a way to stop being such a Grinch
Finna steal from the rich and buy food for the needy
Get off my cloud, don't stand in my yard
I'm tryin' to be better, old habits die hard
My head is a leaky faucet
Skeletons in the closet
Selling my soul, the Devil is sending me a deposit
[Chorus: Terminal Knowledge]
And all my demons hide behind that screen
There's ghosts up in the hallway but unless somebody calls me, I don't scream (I don't scream)
Unless somebody calls me, I don't scream
Unless somebody calls me, I don't scream
