VERSE 1 I've all but turned my room into a mausoleum Lost somewhere between old dishes and memories on the wall My apathy could eat me whole, dissolve my reverence I won't admit it but this bed's become my living penance CHORUS 'Cause I need you to see this through This house holds it's own abuse I'm alright 'cause you're here today On this lifeboat troubles slip away... VERSE 2 Lost in a daydream, drifting through the open lines I don't need a reason to lay here with an empty mind 'Cause no one can reach me I'm not my body, Though I know in my heart that it's probably my falling And I try so hard not to touch my brakes and I've lost so much but I've upped the stakes So I'll crash and burn just to feel alive I wake up in bed just to find out I survived CHORUS 'Cause I need you to see this through This house holds it's own abuse I'm alright 'cause you're here today On this lifeboat troubles slip away...

Yuuwii Choow!! 04:19

VERSE 1 Up alone in the still of the night Yuuwii Choow on Youtube and I'm feeling alright now I hit the kitchen, raid the fridge for some food When I glanced at the stovetop, the time read 2:22 Much to my delight, I doubt this could get any weirder I barely know her, right? But she had my hands tied! It kind of feels like I'm running out of time CHORUS So what the hell is a guy to do? Yuuwii Choow!! I can't get through to you! Falling harder by the second, I need a paramedic On second thought, it's just a headache Just begging for some connection - it's true! Law school? Aw, screw you! Fuck me? Well I say fuck you too! I'm a motherfucking headache I never learn my lesson Raised to believe I was pathetic? Get your head out the clouds... VERSE 2 Jackpot! Witches alive and well in this city... You kind of have to give these girls some credit for their Internet presence Looks could kill if you let Her melody meant something to me A little something like 'oh, oh, oh oh oh oh' Harley Quinn on Batman Twins like these would break your knees and leave you in the trash can I'm like - 'oh yeah, that girl's mean' A Prince of Darkness needs a Queen So I reserved a special place in hell For Yuwen me to kiss and tell CHORUS So what the hell is a guy to do? Yuuwii Choow!! I can't get through to you! Falling harder by the second, I need a paramedic On second thought, it's just a headache Just begging for some connection - it's true! Law school? Aw, screw you! Fuck me? Well I say fuck you too! I'm a motherfucking headache I never learn my lesson Raised to believe I was pathetic? Get your head out the clouds... BRIDGE God must be a sadist to judge how we live our lives I must have been faded 'cause I don't recall my lines God must be a statist to judge how we live our lives I must have been faded 'cause I don't recall my lines

Rush Hour Crush 03:25
lyrics

VERSE 1 The sound of my alarm has got me wishing I could call in sick I can't do that, I need the money And it's not so funny when the snooze goes off so you're up at 6AM on a bus to work to learn the art of wasting time Fair's fair so I pay my fare secretly hoping this bus takes me anywhere but the place I'm meant to make ends meet today It was a Tuesday morning when you stole my heart and it beat to the sound of a brand new day CHORUS Rush hour crush on a bus Is one simple look enough to move my heart again and ego out the way? VERSE 2 I didn't catch your name, but it's not like I was wondering Maybe I'll quit - this job is such a bore But being bored together we laughed until forever and the chemistry was hard to ignore Can't wait till Monday, stuck on public transit yet I'm lonely with people all around me It's the cold sick irony of love in the modern age Looked back one last time as she walked away CHORUS Rush hour crush on a bus Is one simple look enough to move my heart again and ego out the way?

VERSE 1 Slow it down - no, life is not a race now Time's ticking - do I crank it, do I pace myself? Do or die, they'll call me any day now It'll take more than a bump to throw in my towel Gather 'round 'cause I've got a lot to say now Is it hidden in the groove, how we work that crowd? High as hell, don't come fucking up my day now Let's get along CHORUS First of all, I'm thankful for you brother but I scare myself - I sound just like my mother "Blah blah blah, blah blah blah blah blah" VERSE 2 Slow it down - no, life is not a race now Every note was sculpted from the space between the beats (woah-oh) Misery loves company, the lows create the peaks but when you're down, you're down so deep CHORUS First of all, I'm thankful for you brother but I scare myself - I sound just like my mother "Blah blah blah, blah blah blah blah blah" BRIDGE Tear it down just to build it back up Sometimes life gets a little bit rough but hey - it's nothing new I know that life's not complicated I overcomplicate it Life was simpler in the springtime One big happy family When I caught a chill on the tire swing and it made me think back to chasing you on the playground hoping you liked me too CHORUS OUTRO And now most of all, I'm thankful for you mother but I scare myself, I sound just like my brother And now first of all, I'm thankful for you brother but I scare myself, I sound like like my mother And now first of all, I'm thankful for you brother but I scare myself, I sound like like my mother "Blah blah blah, blah blah blah blah Blah blah blah blah blah Blah blah blah blah blah blah"

Chasing Chemicals 04:01

VERSE 1 I got dues to the pills in my pocket and nothing to lose I gotta choose If you're down in the blues, just call the doctor - there's a pill for that! When you're mad, when you're sad, when you're glad When you're chasing every chemical all over the map CHORUS 1 If it wasn't for these chemicals I'd swear I'm living in control The pot smoke makes it hard to see that steaming pile of shit you left for me VERSE 2 Loose screws, flying high with MacGyver on the back of a moose aboard a loose caboose, I'm on the noose and bound to lay something foul like I'm chasing Mother Goose through the pen, the pen So sharpen my machete just to take its' head and pawn it for a penny Come and sit court-side at a real life shit show It's no secret - people bum me out CHORUS 2 It's been way too long since I've felt the love I'm feeling and when she takes my hand, the whole world falls away Down here still caught up in my drugs, my doubts, and if she's putting out Sleepwalking to my grave, a noble like was more than I could take BRIDGE Maybe I'm a hurricane Both the one they praise and the one they blame but in the streets of Sodom, all the people know my name 'Cause it's one for all, and we're all the fucking same in this... OUTRO Pills for thrills in old Sin City Oh what a pity that you came here searching with a candle for a piece of my broken heart They'll say we died from the pills but we were dead from the start And if I miss my mark on history let it burn in the sun at a hundred degrees Kick off my slacks, roll up my sleeves 'cause I won't stop until this town is history

VERSE 1 You're crazy by design There you go again messing with my mind Those eyes couldn't hide those lies Talk all you want, but you can't deny my ass, my ass That's right - you can kiss my ass Let me know if we're moving to fast but 'till then, here's a song about my ass! CHORUS It's just a song about my ass My ass, my ass, my ass... So kiss my ass! VERSE 2 You're crazy by design Eye for an eye, we'd both go blind! K, fine - just please stop crying Everybody knows that I'm all about my ass, my ass... Yeah right, does it look like a goldmine? No? Well everything that shows ain't always fuckin' gold so I shave my ass! CHORUS It's just a song about my ass My ass, my ass, my ass... So kiss my ass! VERSE 3 I'm back and I can't slow down Everybody knows when they hear that sound, it's time! Girl, check my rhymes Prose for the rows of the hoes in front of my cam Do you have Instagram? Do you follow my shit on Instagram? As soon as you accept my friend request... One hundred pictures of my ass! CHORUS It's just a song about my ass My ass, my ass, my ass... Yeah!

VERSE 1 Albi, you are the air I breathe My heart belongs to you You could drop me to my knees Albi, you're with me in my dreams In every waking thought Every memory I'll keep You're my, you're my, you're my... PRE-CHORUS You're my habibi Albi, my baby you'll be Habibi Albi, my baby you'll be CHORUS I wanna hold you so tight Girl you are the apple of my eye I'm here to make it alright Girl you are the apple of my eye Can you feel it, feel it, feel it? I'm right here by your side I wanna hold you so tight Girl I'll never let you go VERSE 2 Albi, you are the ocean breeze You are the salt of the earth I'll treat you like a queen Albi, I'll suffer your disease I'll keep you safe and warm I'll be strong when you are weak PRE-CHORUS You're my habibi Albi, my baby you'll be Habibi Albi, my baby you'll be CHORUS I wanna hold you so tight Girl you are the apple of my eye I'm here to make it alright Girl you are the apple of my eye Can you feel it, feel it, feel it? I'm right here by your side I wanna hold you so tight Girl I'll never let you go

Due To Me 03:33

VERSE 1 Awake in a dream of the sort that walks in and opens the door to places inside us we'd like to ignore It opens a window a song planting seeds in my head My room, my heart, my guitar, my bed Three knocks on the door should I let you in? CHORUS Do you know what you're doing to me, what you're doing to me? Do you know what you're doing to me, what you're doing to me? VERSE 2 Seasons come and go but this household stays icy cold Inside it snows, outside it's blistering I would ask my dark side to set me free but I do enjoy it's company now that what I do, I do it wearily... CHORUS Do you know what you're doing to me, what you're doing to me? Do you know what you're doing to me, what you're doing to me?
