Maximal

from Kairos by Empty Atlas

lyrics

I promise maximal effort from me
There will never be an end to all the blood and sweat I'll lend to make it work
When I get where I need, I'll send word for you
Wouldn't burden you with details you won't read

I promise maximal effort from me
When my options are exhausted
But I still won't lay down and give it up
When I get what I need
Still get hungry, bite the hand that feeds

I will take from you
I will give it to myself
Take from you
Give it to myself

I promise maximal effort from me
Even in my final days
I'll find an outlet that still pays
So cut me loose, stretch me till I can't breathe
But I never set the goal, so it's always out of reach

I will take from you
I will give it to myself
Take from you
Give it to myself

Show me a ladder, I'll climb it; hold my breath if you time it
Do your worst to me above a dotted line, and I'll sign it

Write my name down for me; dot the i's and cross the s's
There's somewhere I need to be; I've got no time for second guesses

I'm already past 25, some of my best years are behind me
I could use a better hand to break me down, redefine me

I want answers on my legacy, but the greatest minds in artistry
Their speeches just don't speak to me ‘cause all of them are dead already
