lyrics

Crazy games we play
Crazy things we say
we fight for control
whether it’s right or wrong

The truth is not enough
The truth is not enough
Happiness
was it asking too much

So why settle for the ride like the nearest pedals on a stolen bike
to getaway
Growin’ feathers that were never meant to fly, and strugglin’ to remember why
ya’ came, all this way
Fallen to the simple resolution:
this is everything you’re not,
but everything you want.

So you hold on,
just
to let it go.

Ya run around, run around, run around
Burnin’ out, burnin’ out, burnin’ out
Ya run around, run around, run around
Burnin’ out, burnin’ out, burnin’ out

On a sinkin’ ship, drownin’ in the now
Reachin’ for the sky underneath the ground
Holdin’ on to the ceiling
People screamin, “Teach me how”.

Am I just another drunk phone call
you regret when the mornin comes
Is what it is, who I’m supposed to be
Is what it was, where I’m supposed to leave

Ya use words like “love” and “forever”
to heal the hearts ya severed
I bet ya friends call ya “clever”
I call you “never”.

Ridin’ on a horse that’s always runnin’ late,
but you insist that it’ll be on-time someday,
chasin’ yesterday.

Is it the question or the answer that you’re not willin’ to stop,
and figure out where the hell you’re goin’
far as almost

Fallen to the simple resolution:
This is everything you’re not,
but everything you want.

So ya’ hold on,
just
to let it go

Ya run around, run around, run around
Burnin’ out, burnin’ out, burnin’ out
Ya run around, run around, run around
Burnin’ out, burnin’ out, burnin’ out

Ya run around, run around, run around
Burnin’ out, burnin’ out, burnin’ out
Ya run around, run around, run around
Burnin’ out, burnin’ out, burnin’ out

Crazy games we play
Crazy things we say
I know why I’m alive, for sure,
but what are we
fighting for.

about

The Blend Minneapolis, Minnesota

A nationally touring group of misfits making sound wherever beckoned, The Blend dominated the midwest pioneering hip-hop and rock in the same breath from dingy basement rock shows to capacity hip-hop shows. Now, their fate unknown having disbanded for several years, Linden Killam and Toussaint Morrison continue the group's legacy of unconventional, top tiered sound. ... more
