I don't see the fearsome fright
All I see is beauty shine
Not much time to say goodnight
I can hear you scream in the sky
Nephew, do you feel alright?
Always up in overdrive
They would try to smother you
Never let your feelings through
Live out loud
I'm sniffing your garden
I'm sniffing your rose
She's stuck in the middle
You know how it goes
They're crawling across now
They'll give him some blow
We'll do him a favor
We'll give him some gold
I remember eyes came out
I can see you run and shout
Don't know where to place the blame
You knew how to hide your pain
We just want to see you alive
Taught me how to speak my mind
Release you in atmosphere
It was just too small in here
Live out loud
Hey ho, let's fucking go
Hey ho, let's get up and rock and roll
Hey ho, let's fucking go
Hey ho, let's get up and rock and roll
All I see is beauty shine
Not much time to say goodnight
I can hear you scream in the sky
Always up in overdrive
They would try to smother you
Never let your feelings through
I'm sniffing your rose
She's stuck in the middle
You know how it goes
They'll give him some blow
We'll do him a favor
We'll give him some gold
I can see you run and shout
Don't know where to place the blame
You knew how to hide your pain
Taught me how to speak my mind
Release you in atmosphere
It was just too small in here
Hey ho, let's get up and rock and roll
Hey ho, let's fucking go
Hey ho, let's get up and rock and roll

Written about Brann's Aunt Lisa. Troy said in an interview about the song:
"That song has an energy that reflects her completely—she had one of the most outgoing personalities of anyone I’ve ever met; the stuff that legends are made of. It needed to be the most rockin’, because that what she embodied – everything that is rock ‘n’ roll."

That same article mentions the song has a Faith No More vibe to it too ... I can see where that comes from. The end takes on a very "Be Aggressive" nature and the remainder has a very FNM vibe too.
Definitely love the concept and theme of "live out loud" (IMO that is live your life to the fullest).
@sokorny Thanks f or sharing. Love FNM too, great song
