Fanfare

[Verse 1: Aidan Merck]
This is Aidan comin' in on the beat
First verse, the worst
But for me it's sweet feat
All heat is flowin', bakin' the words
In the spur of the moment
I'm showing those who wanna see
The only me I can be
Individuality, originality
The brutality of it: no one can show
How to not be a normality
Cause in reality you gotta see
We're all the same
They say we're all unique but we're all
Playin' the same game
So how do I show the world that
I'm different?
Separate from the pack
Shipped off in a box of my known ignorance, it's rigorous
That's a fact, yes it truly is
To show your differences
You gotta do something big
You don't know what creativity
Means to me
It's free for me to grow a tree
In the middle of an ocean
Where soil and sad flee
I'm makin' somethin' out of nothin'
Say whatever comes to mind
And I'm tryin' to get my thoughts down
Before I run out of time

[Hook: Caleb Kuhlmann & Aidan Merck]
We don't know where we'll be in 10 years
That don't mean we'll ever be a slave to our fears
Let's give em reason to stop and stare
Call it what you want this is our fanfare, fanfare

[Verse 2: Caleb Kuhlmann]
Balloons behind a big white steeple
I'll be looking up holding onto a dream
I been working hard with some darn good people
Find ourselves on the bright light side of the screen
Doubts are giving me a run for my money
I lay down the bass hope it runs for my money
I am having so much fun that it ain't even funny
Heaven forbid you get inside my mind and see
All the deep dark places with their black tar faces
Saying Caleb you're chasin a future you'll never see
Screwtape called the dude on my shoulder
Told him I'm a fool but screw screwtape I'm a frickin soldier
Shouts to my parents shouts to theirs
Shouts to my friends that seem to come in pairs
Throughout the years i labeled me an idiot
But don't blink now it's just part of the experiment

[Hook: Caleb Kuhlmann & Aidan Merck]
We don't know where we'll be in 10 years
That don't mean we'll ever be a slave to our fears
Let's give em reason to stop and stare
Call it what you want this is our fanfare, fanfare
