This track features my friend Trevor on lead vocals and felt like a good track to show how Project Tu is changing direction. I also really love that this EP starts off with just a vocal. I was also really glad to be able to put that heavier section at the end of the song as well. This is one of my favorite songs lyrically on the EP.

lyrics
Is this what I have become?
A man who waits on the weekend
A man who waits on salvation
In forty eight hours
To clear my head
A son
A boy who thought he was god sent
But I don't have a savior
And I don't have three days
To rise from the dead
Shrugging on
You may stop me and say
That everytime I leave
You hate me this way
In the forest
If I can't see the trees
You'll have seen the best
And it wasn't in me
Not enough, it's not
Not enough, it's not
Is this what I have become?
A man who waits on the weekend
A man who waits on salvation
In forty eight hours
To clear my head
A son
A boy who thought he was god sent
But I don't have a savior
And I don't have three days
To rise from the dead
I thought I'd have
Had forty-eight more years
Before I'd have stopped
Before I came here
Wish I could've been
So out-classed I'd've thought:
"Not enough, it's not"
Not enough, it's not
Not enough, it's not
Not enough, it's not
Is this what I have become?
