Lyrics (from Genius w/ a few of my edits) [Verse 1] It's conviction, not commitment You're a better man than I But no better than a lie A conviction, full of fiction What's the point in trying to hide it What's point in trying to hide [Chorus] We strain ourselves to the bones to see The things we value eternally Now what was it that you want from me I'm not the boy that I used to be [Verse 2] Stop craving over hope that's not enough to change In his pocket, found a spot of keeping up with things To get the feeling the your nothing wasn’t worth the trade Bet on, bet on nothing, waste your life away I saw your silence, your sadness was a living thing I shot it down, a sound that didn’t ring Like a kind of a guy that you couldn’t see Tone deaf, solid beating in reality [Verse 3] From the sea to the city We got golden hearts Flower turning on the past Time to make a mark I was dying for it I was dying for it [Verse 4] I'm sorry I'm sorry I never really doubted all that I had [Chorus] We strain ourselves to the bones to see The things we value eternally Now what was it that you want from me I'm not the boy that I used to be [Verse 5] Your veins are crimson, I long to see The kiss inspired [?] So bow your head, meditate with me And miss the world as we [Interlude] [Outro] I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry
me too, i've only recently found a good recording via an article that had an audio recording of hippo campus' usual set just before the landmark singles came out.
:-( was hoping it would be i just saw the genius list for it too!!!!! i saw they played it for vip somewhere on a setlist.fm page and im just tearing up i also agree idt any of the names fit
yeah a couple weeks ago they played it- kind of crazy 'cause they hadn't played it for about 3 years. (and i'm sure you know that it didn't get renamed and put on the album)
altereagle ugh im sad :-( i hope its on the next album (fingers crossed) i will say demos ii was a pleasant surprise brought me back to pre bambi vibes
i was listening to buttercup and i very faintly heard what i think was played between 2:45-3:00 of conviction being played at the end of buttercup? has anyone else heard that or am i making myself hear that?
I just noticed this too! It wouldn't surprise me if Conviction was a demo track for Landmark since Conviction was played around the time that some of the Landmark tracks ( like Way It Goes and Western Kids) were first performed live in spring/summer 2016. The song fits the vibe of Landmark as well imo.
yeah it was just before the landmark singles came out so it was the set where they’d play the old version of baseball and conviction along with most of the halocline ep tracks
their unreleased tracks are always so good :/ how bittersweet
i know 😭
I know especially tide wings. Love that song
especially NO POMEGRANATES
Lyrics (from Genius w/ a few of my edits)
[Verse 1]
It's conviction, not commitment
You're a better man than I
But no better than a lie
A conviction, full of fiction
What's the point in trying to hide it
What's point in trying to hide
[Chorus]
We strain ourselves to the bones to see
The things we value eternally
Now what was it that you want from me
I'm not the boy that I used to be
[Verse 2]
Stop craving over hope that's not enough to change
In his pocket, found a spot of keeping up with things
To get the feeling the your nothing wasn’t worth the trade
Bet on, bet on nothing, waste your life away
I saw your silence, your sadness was a living thing
I shot it down, a sound that didn’t ring
Like a kind of a guy that you couldn’t see
Tone deaf, solid beating in reality
[Verse 3]
From the sea to the city
We got golden hearts
Flower turning on the past
Time to make a mark
I was dying for it
I was dying for it
[Verse 4]
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I never really doubted all that I had
[Chorus]
We strain ourselves to the bones to see
The things we value eternally
Now what was it that you want from me
I'm not the boy that I used to be
[Verse 5]
Your veins are crimson, I long to see
The kiss inspired [?]
So bow your head, meditate with me
And miss the world as we
[Interlude]
[Outro]
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry

if this aint on demos ii.. i might.. indefinitely lose my mind,,,
it's not :( (unless they've called it something else, but none of the names really fit)
:-( was hoping it would be i just saw the genius list for it too!!!!! i saw they played it for vip somewhere on a setlist.fm page and im just tearing up i also agree idt any of the names fit

altereagle ugh im sad :-( i hope its on the next album (fingers crossed)
i will say demos ii was a pleasant surprise brought me back to pre bambi vibes
@@gooby2211 they played this for vip at the washington concert nov of 2019! i was so happy i had to record
i was listening to buttercup and i very faintly heard what i think was played between 2:45-3:00 of conviction being played at the end of buttercup? has anyone else heard that or am i making myself hear that?
at about 3:20 onwards in buttercup? i think that might just be the feedback from the guitars/something kind of generic that happens.
I just noticed this too!

Does anyone know where to find tabs for guitar
someone has the intro on ultimate guitar but otherwise it's just chords :(
altereagle yeah but the tabs for the intro are wayyy oversimplified:(
damn... probably because not *that* many people are aware of the song. maybe if it ever gets released.
Where did you find this?
Ryan Campbell it’s from an audio only recording done by some newspaper/magazine type thing
anaverageariana hmm that's neat
yeah it was just before the landmark singles came out so it was the set where they’d play the old version of baseball and conviction along with most of the halocline ep tracks
anaverageariana ah I see
where are all of these songs from!!
various live performances, around 2014-2016, from memory.
Nicholas next please I beg
Andre 3st I’ve actually already done it! ruclips.net/video/qEfww0ziYC4/видео.html
Thnx
Sula?
unfortunately i've not come across a good recording of it, aside from the videos already on youtube :(
