Baby with an ass like that, You can have my everything. With a smile so bright, you can take my soul. Swear I don’t need it anyways. Spend most of my life here, Left with this question: What’s this obsession? Romanticize me, Take all your loving memories, And wash me away. I need more than material love (x2) It’s true your ass it caught my eye… But I stayed for the everything, The love you give to me. (x2) Baby with an ass like that, You can have my everything. With a smile so bright, you can take my soul. Swear I don’t need it anyways. Don’t take love advice, From a misogynist- you can’t even see. Baby with your perfection, You don’t even have to shake it for me. (Forman Shifted Chorus) If you treat your lover, like royalty you’ll be all they see. Treat them with royalty, You’ll be all the see, you’ll be all they see! Baby with an ass like that, You can have my everything. With a smile so bright, you can take my soul. Swear I don’t need it anyways. Baby with your perfection, You’ll always be my queen.

Look at these walls that trap me inside, Built by the outside. How did I let this infect me? All this anxiety. Is it me? Did I make friends with the enemy? How did I end up here? Everything’s so unclear. The enemy you seek. Is hidden in plain sight. Trap the beast, carefully- Everyone says it was me. I refuse to believe. Layer all my drinks with poison Lay on the irony. Tape open my eyes, And fill me with lies. Plaster it on my screen. I know I’m more, Than these plastic things. Why do I spend my nights, Wide awake? Worried about these things, That mean nothing to me? How could I not see? How could I not see? The enemy you seek, Is hidden in plain sight. How do we become the paradigm? The enemy you seek is hidden in plain sight. Become the Paradigm. Become the Paradigm. It’s time to smell the roses, And open up your eyes.

I’ve heard it a thousand times before. Lived it, breathed it, questioned it before. Never thought it’d be me, In the eye of the storm. The weight is too much, Tell myself- I don’t give a fuck. When it rains it pours, No one’s here to help you get yours. In the eye of the storm, Who will you be waiting for? When it rains it pours. Who can you trust in a world so broken, Who can you love in a world so hopeless? The storm is bending me, I refuse to bend the knee. Humpty Dumpty had a great fall, Wants to paint his brains on the wall. I am Humpty that’s the truth, I had my brain scrambled in my youth. It’s not a solid rock on which you stand, That book’s as loose as the sand. Your bigotry cost me everything, I lost everything. The weight is too much, Tell myself- I don’t give a fuck. Who can you trust in a world so broken, Who can you love in a world so hopeless? In the eye of the storm, Who will you be waiting for? When it rains it pours. (What will be your shelter?) Who can you trust in a world so broken, Who can you love in a world so hopeless? The storm is bending me, I won’t let it bend the knee. Somehow, I was deceived, Looked in the mirror saw someone else- Staring back at me. I was blind, But now I see. I am the storm you bow to me (x3) I’m who I’ll trust in a world so broken. (I AM HURRICANE) I’m who I’ll love in a world so hopeless. (I AM HURRICANE) The storm is bending me. (I AM HURRICANE) I refuse to bend the knee. (I AM HURRICANE) Omni-present me. (I AM HURRICANE) You can’t do a thing. (I AM HURRICANE) It’s my reality… In the eye of the storm, Who will you be waiting for? When it rains it pours. Trust yourself in a world so broken. Love yourself in a world so hopeless. The storm is beckoning, Always refuse to bend the knee!

about

Back from the dead, Convictions of Leon returns with "Material Love" the final release before the upcoming album "Absolution." Between unexpected life obstacles and the recent departure of Leon's co-writer (Samuel) production on the album was heavily delayed.

As a result, Leon made the decision to release more than just a single as the final release before the full LP launches later in the year. "Material Love" is named after the new release featured in the track listing. This five song track list includes remastered versions of the previously released singles as well acoustic versions of the featured track and Convictions of Leon's most popular track, "Become the Paradigm."

This EP better represents the sound of Convictions of Leon now- and moving forward.

Love yourself. Love others. Love what you do!
