Impossibles & Obstacles

by Icon For Hire

Hello, we’re a band from Decatur, Illinois called Icon For Hire. We started this thing because we wanted to articulate the mad & lonely thoughts circling our heads...and when we did, we realized how un-alone we actually were. Our band started growing one kid at a time as we played dark basement…

Got a lot of stuff to say
I’m not scared to get reveling
I don’t pay for therapy
I get paid to speak my feelings
Reach my hand inside my throat
Pull my heart up in the hope
Somebody see through the smoke
Recognize their not alone

I don’t promise answers
I can probably promos problems tho
I got lots of thought bout impossibles and obstacles
Alternate my strategy based on the given day
Some days I’m a break through,
Somedays I'm about to break

Everything I say feels a little bit fake
When I feel my instability making my nerves shake
Maybe this was a mistake
Making them think I’m ok
Now their looking at me like:
Tell me who I’m supposed to be

But what’s the other option?
Keep my progress to myself?
And pretend I’m in the same place as when I wrote Get Well?
Nah, I crawled to the nail to get outta that hell
And I’m not taking contacts incase you can’t tell

But if you wanna talk about the label,
I can do that too
Oh never mind, I think I signed an NDA
But I’m not sure
Everyone’s got their ideas about how to make it through
D.I.Y
‘Till we die
I’ve got army on the loose!

(I’m not dancing!
Oh your still trying to f**k with me?
Hahaha...)

(Did we get it???)
