about

Channeling the likes of Elton John and The Beatles, the foot-stomping power-ballad serves as the lead single from Joe’s upcoming third album.

The song was produced by Linkin Park’s Mike Shinoda, who crafted the track live on his Twitch stream back in March this year. It’s filled to the brim with driving pianos and roaring guitars, which serves as the perfect canvas for Joe’s homely melodies and self-contemplating lyricism.

lyrics

[Verse 1]
Maybe I have got a lot of growing up to do
There's no room for improvement when your stuck inside
The candle light doesn't quite illuminate the room
But it burns my thinking cap when there is nothing left to hide
I'm skeptical that I've fed the wolves what's in my head

[Chorus]
And now I've seen life
And more than less it's never what it seems like
I've been deafened by an engine roaring
Looking for an exit doorway
And when the sky cracks
I don't always think that I can fight back
Failure's what my head keeps drawing
A vision that I've kept exploring
I'm not always gonna be as strong as I am

[Verse 2]
Maybe I traded in my demons for a tooth
And paid for my belief to simply stand outside
With the fireflies that beam a little brighter than the moon
I'm reaching for a reason with my fingers intertwined
Unbearable, but best of all it's in my head

[Chorus]
And now I've seen life
And more than less it's never what it seems like
I've been deafened by an engine roaring
Looking for an exit doorway
And when the sky cracks
I don't always think that I can fight back
Failure's what my head keeps drawing
A vision that I've kept exploring
I'm not always gonna be as strong as I am

[Bridge]
I find more danger in the things I know
Confide in strangers with the things I don't
I need more serenity to fill my spine
I talk in riddles when there's no one there
Caught in the middle with a broken flare I can't ignite

[Chorus]
And now I've seen life
And it's never what it seems like
I've been deafened by an engine roaring
Looking for an exit doorway
And when the sky cracks
I don't always think that I can fight back
Failure's what my head keeps drawing
A vision that I've kept exploring
I'm not always gonna be as strong as I am
