Start a Band (feat. Aaron Gillespie)

Sick of lookin' through a window At the things I've wanted Nose against the glass Been so long it's like I'm haunted (By something inside of me That's been aching to run) But I get (Caught up when I try to see Where it could go wrong) Caffeinated out of my mind Trying to stay awake Maybe it's a sign of the times Or maybe I'm too late (But somethin reaches through The glass in the mirror) I feel it (Call me with familiar melodies in my ear) I used to know the words to that song I used to sing it 'til my voice was raw I thought it vanished into thin air Are you still there Wake up Don't you ignore that feelin In your gut, it's not Made up That's just your starving artist Screaming you've got Too much to gain To never give it a chance Risk the pain Make the whole world understand What happens when you Start a band It's always risky doing anything that matters If I say "what" I mean "What if it's met with laughter" (Walking on a wire is a thrill or a fright) So I've been (Cropping out the liars 'til the image is right) If imma do this, I'm gon' need Something to ground me Protect my energy and keep my people 'round me (Poetry is hope and freedom walking with doubt) So I'll keep Singing at the night 'til the stars come out I used to know the words to that song I used to sing it 'til my voice was raw I thought it vanished into thin air Are you still there Wake up Don't you ignore that feelin In your gut, it's not Made up That's just your starving artist Screaming you've got Too much to gain To never give it a chance Risk the pain Make the whole world understand What happens when you Start a band Windows buzz and the whole house shakes With that song I used to know It's in my lungs, it's written on my face And it feels like goin' Home Wake up Don't you ignore that feelin In your gut, it's not Made up That's just your starving artist Screaming you've got Too much to gain To never give it a chance Risk the pain Make the whole world understand What happens when you Start a band Start a band What happens when you Start a band
