about

it's been a long time coming and it's the beginning of more. thanks for sticking around. this song is about how crazy it is to be young and dumb and invincible and scared in 2018.
"do you feel foolproof?"

lyrics

I hate to wake up
I hate to wake up to the news these days
But you don't love me,
No, you don't love me,
I'd hate to wake up to the news that you don't love me anymore
But you're smart enough to ask me
What's in the bottle, baby?

It's foolproof youth, oh
Foolproof youth
It's a hell of a hill to die on
It's a hell of a hill to die on
It's foolproof youth, oh
Foolproof youth
It's a hell of a hill to die on
It's a hell of a hill,
do you feel foolproof?
foolproof, foolproof
do you feel foolproof?
foolproof, foolproof

I hope that they hear
'cause the signal gets lost in the noise these days
and they don't love us
no, they don't love us
THEY DON'T LOVE US 'CAUSE THEY WON'T EVEN CALL US BY OUR NAMES
but the best revenge is living better
'cause we've got more storms to weather like

It's foolproof youth, oh
Foolproof youth
It's a hell of a hill to die on
It's a hell of a hill to die on
It's foolproof youth, oh
Foolproof youth
It's a hell of a hill to die on
It's a hell of a hill,
do you feel foolproof?
foolproof, foolproof
do you feel

DO YOU FEEL?!
DO YOU FEEL?!
DO YOU FEEL!?
