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
