about

This is the final track Leon and Samuel will be working on as a duo for an indeterminate amount of time. Most of what you hear on this track was unplanned and done in a single day. Being the last jam session for the dynamic duo, Leon wanted to catch the atmosphere in the room that day. Recorded in a handful of single takes, Convictions of Leon presents to you: "Become the Paradigm (Acoustic)."

Don't let production time fool you, there is a reason this in the last track on this EP. Stay tuned for the full album release!

Love yourself. Love others. Love what you do!

lyrics

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?

The enemy you seek.
Is hidden in plain sight. (x2)

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? (x3)

It’s time to smell the roses,
And open up your eyes.

How do we become the paradigm?
