About

This song is a lyrical representation of Foster’s fears of rejection, and his fierce internal conversation on whether to experiment with his music or just to stick with what he knows, and get by on only his musical talent.

Houdini Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Rise above, gonna start the war
Oh, what you want? What you need? What'd you come here for?
Well, an eye for an eye and an 'F' for fight
They're taking me down as the prisoners riot
Eh, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Got shackles on, my words are tied
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Fear can make you compromise
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
With the lights turned up, it's hard to hide
Sometimes I want to disappear

[Instrumental Chorus]
Eh, oh, eh

[Verse 2]
When I feel kinda bad and don't want to stress
I just pass it off on ability
Well, you got what you want and what you never knew
Perfect gift from me to you
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Got shackles on, my words are tied
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Fear can make you compromise
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
With the lights turned up, it's hard to hide
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Sometimes I want to disappear

[Instrumental Chorus]

[Bridge]
(Raise up to your ability)
You never knew what I could find
What could come when we realize
I don't want to compromise
(Raise up to your ability)
Yeah, I'm scared but I'll disappear
Running around before it corners you
Like he's someone who lost his way
(Raise up to your ability)
I know that you want me
'Cause it's simple to see of my ability
(Raise up to your ability)
Yeah, you're undecided
Hey, it's the right feeling
Yeah, I don't wanna run away

[Outro]
You gotta focus on to your ability
Focus on to your ability
Gotta focus on to your ability
Focus on to your ability
Then they can't get what they want to steal
Can't get what they want to steal
Then they can't get what they want to steal
Can't get what they want to steal
