[Verse 1: Jake, Nathan]
Tomorrow seems to seep into the edge of nothing
(A blueish tint and faded vision, hey!)
Aimless eyes are searching for a better something
(But it’s okay, it’s indecision)
[Verse 2: Jake]

(The violet scent and clouded visions, brrap!)
Creeping up, the feelings that it’s all for nothing
(It’s okay, it’s indecision)
[Chorus: All, Jake]
Honestly it's
Hard to know what you’re thinking
Goddamn, give up
It's no fun when you're leaving
[Bridge: Jake]
It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, but repetitive

[Chorus: All, Jake]
Honestly, it’s

Goddamn, give up
It's no fun when you're leaving
Honestly was written by BJ Burton & Mono Moon & Whistler Isaiah & brotherkenzie & Lupin.
Honestly was produced by BJ Burton.
Hippo Campus released Honestly on Fri Sep 28 2018.
“Honestly” deals with frustrations at being complacent; needing/wanting a change. This was the second song we tracked live to tape in Chicago. We laid down the instrumental within an hour of writing it.
