To be honest prolly not, but keeping the peace within your temples is at least worth an attempt. We’ve been vastly inconsistent with our writing side of Chiefers, as IG continues to be the focus. But sometimes a few songs turn out to be that good, we have to put our little piggies on the keyboard again. There is no light on in my office right now, but the computer screen illuminates my hands. I guess that’s a metaphor for another day. Below you’ll find some heat, in the meantime, stay safe, be good and continue to keep pushing. We love you.
