Bounty is a song for anyone feeling scared of failure or letting people down and anyone who needs to know that there isn’t always a price on their head, even when it feels like it. Bouncy synth chords and hard-hitting drums create a canvas for Ben to tell his story of life’s pressures weighing on hi...
Chorus:
I might be too young, naive
For what’s on my head
Or maybe I'm too old, washed up
I’ve got nothing left
(x2)
Verse:
Yeah
I swear all this pressure's got me bursting at the seams
I know this shit looks easy but it’s never what it seems
So when you’re at your boyfriend's I'm hanging behinds the scenes
And when you’re at some party I'll be there answering questions
I'm never really sure
I still be anxious
And so insecure
But I'd really like to know
If it’s ever gonna show
Chorus:
I might be too young, naive
For what’s on my head
Or maybe I'm too old, washed up
I’ve got nothing left
(x2)
Post Chorus:
But I don’t need to know
Right now
Yeah I don’t need to know
(Right now, right now)
Verse 2:
My chest’s tight and I step back, they check that
I’m heading back to the lab waving a red flag
Can’t keep my head on straight, need time to rest that
I’ll check back when these demons needing a chess match
Woah
I don’t wanna need you as much as I do
But when they start to come, they ain’t coming for you
I’ve never had to change the colors, just the hue
And I'm trying not to worry about how they view
But I'd really like to know
If it’s ever gonna show
Yeah I'd really like to know
If it’s ever gonna show
Chorus:
I might be too young, naive
For what’s on my head
Or maybe I'm too old, washed up
I’ve got nothing left
(x2)

Bridge:
Pressure, all this pressure's got me working
Pressure, all this pressure, see them lurking
Baby, yah
Pressure, all this pressure's got me hurting
I need to find peace
Aw yeah
Too young
I might be too young
I might be
I might be
Chorus:
I might be too young, naive
For what’s on my head
Or maybe I'm too old, washed up
I’ve got nothing left
(x2)
