lyrics

My glazed eyes have me seeing things,
a pixellated truth formed from digital drinks and I,
I worry 'bout the future!
So, shut the blinds dear and hope for a cure.
A country ill-equipped for the work we endure with no pride,
we're just a nation full of lions.

We work hard and give our paychecks to the bar.
We work hard until we punch out at last call.
We want heart, but we celebrate the heartless.
We want love, but we'll settle for second-best.

My grandpa worked his hands to the bone,
kept quiet all his pain, found his own way to Cope, but I,
I just can't quite shake my shadow!
Then there's my father, the wisest of men.
He learned from all the life that his life made him live.
He said, "Son, the answer is the question."

So, work hard. Keep your head down and your eyes open.
Yeah, work hard to see the beauty when it's been stolen.
You want art so carry, oh carry your own damned pen.
You want love, don't you settle until you're dead.
(The dust will settle, don't you settle until you're dead.)
(You want love, don't settle for second-best.)
(The dust will settle, don't you settle until you're dead.)

Leftmore Denver, Colorado

Leftmore is an indie acoustic rock act from Colorado, started in 2005 by Matthew Shaw and Joe Ziegler. Joe went solo from late in 2009 to early in 2014, one part story-teller, one part emotive melody, and at least one part human. Matt rejoined with Chris Doxtator on drums and Geoff Brent on bass guitar. The lineup now vacillates between the solo, duo, and quartet conditionally based on time-space. ... more
