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!!

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
|
|||
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?

Parental Guidance

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

Crazy By Design
02:46
|
|||
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!

Albi
05:14
|

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?
