about

The track that started it all. Although this isn't the first song on the upcoming album "Absolution" it was the first created. This song set the tone for Convictions of Leon and the primary message behind the project.

To become the paradigm! In our world today it's apparent that we are incredibly tardy for change on many levels. Leon believes change can begin in a very simple way: loving yourself, others, and 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?
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.
