She don't wanna spend the rest of her life
Looking back on it, and staying inside
Not saying saying what she wanted
Is it better when we let it slide
She don't wanna take all of yer time
Going back and forth and solving yer crimes
Does it really matter?
Are we gonna let the well run dry?
Is it getting better when we’re faking?
Are we pretending that we’re alright?
I know a place that grows inside you
I’ll add the water, you feel alive
Am I losing myself or my feelings?
Am I ever gonna heal this time?
Have I finally found the answer?
Will you always be by my side?
He don’t wanna spend the rest of his life
Living in the past? Never changing sides?
Not saying what he wanted.
Is it better than it was last time?
He don’t wanna make another alibi
Going back and forth
And severing ties
Does it really matter?
What happens when the well runs dry?
Is it getting better when we’re faking?
Are we pretending that we’re alright?
I know a place that grows inside you
I’ll add the water, you feel alive
Am I losing myself or my feelings?
Am I ever gonna heal this time?
Have I finally found the answer?
Will you always be by my side?

Better Than Then

A little more quiet than yer used to
That 65 bucks should of went to rent
I’d like to be a little more open with you
Saying all these fucked up things
When I’m feeling bent
I can’t let go. What was I holding onto?
I’m not that bold. But I’m getting used to
I’m better than I used to be back then
Yer better than yer used to be now that yer more than a friend
We think a little more deeper than we’re used to
Learning more words
That’s for the best
It’s like chewing on the fat first
To see what’s really left
Spent 2 years in a room
But that was only a test
I can’t let go. What was I holding onto?
I’m not that bold. But I’m getting used to
I’m better than I used to be back then
Yer better than yer used to be now that yer more than a friend

Jinx

I can discern long enough
Until it starts to burn.
I can dismiss every sign,
Until every ring becomes a chime
I can walk every path and slope
Until my faultlines turn to jokes
I will deny myself as a misanthrope
Until I pull every phrase I heard
Straight outta outta my throat
I used all of my knocks
But couldn’t reverse
Didn’t open my mouth
Not even to curse
I didn’t throw the salt
It wouldn’t tempt my fate
I’m starting to believe
Without a watery grave
If I could restart over again
Would it be my own advent
And when the same thing happens twice
Will it appear all heaven sent
If it were right in front of me
Will it stay? Or does it bleed?
And when I say I’ll disconnect
Will all these voices be set free
Straight outta me
I used all of my knocks
But couldn’t reverse
Didn’t open my mouth
Not even to curse
I didn’t throw the salt
It wouldn’t tempt my fate
I’m starting to believe
Without a watery grave
Without a single word to say
I took a job shining white porcelain
(Lost time is making you panic)
Did I get suckerpunched?
(Panic is just killing more time)
Did it beat out my sin?
I used all of my knocks
But couldn’t reverse
I Didn’t open my mouth
Not even to curse
I didn’t throw the salt
It wouldn’t tempt my fate
I’m starting to believe
Without a watery grave
Without a single word to say
I used all of my knocks
But couldn’t reverse
I Didn’t open my mouth
Without a single word to say
Without a watery grave

This Is So Florida

I can write it in my sleep
As I dream this
Permanent reminder
That you’ve always achieved it
It’s now on your sleeve
Oh! Yer such a genius
Are we just somebody's body?
A convenience?
Think about loading up for another
I believe
Floating up, it’s another double trouble
I can’t see
Lost of grip, as you jumped a ship,
You took your final sip, but know my past will always grow
Every sign missed
Must've not had yer glasses
Time gets away again
That clock sits and passes
My head's hanging lower
I start skipping classes
That Cypress and my path
Both become ashes
Fast forward to, “Let me get another”
I won’t need
Pick me up. Nevermind, Think we tumbled
Now I bleed
So I lay low but I can never sleep alone
There’s a final switch, but my past will always know
In a flash, break some bones, run for cover
Another dash, save some cash, and start over
Hit the brakes, bite the dust, salvaged lovers
Dealt the hand, when you stand, know your covers
When it comes back again, will you hear me?
You don't wanna know, and I don’t wanna show
You live in trees, as I plead. I hope you fear me.
Let it sink below as I undergo
Another year, holding in, this just begins
Make it go away as I start to throw it
In the past. why’s it last? can it stop now?
Begging for control as I plateau
A second run, when it’s done, it will find you
Losing control and yer not alone
A third time, let it shine, it’s faux crime?
When it starts to go into a undertow
Now I can breathe and you don’t live in my dreams

Oh No (2020)

Tonight, I'm drinking again
I keep my head low
Holding thoughts and those sins
But now yer okay? for the night
You hold my hand tight
Yer waving goodbye
Oh No. It's death again. He took your family and 2 of my friends
And now we're choking On what was just said I've got a big plan
Thinking bad ideas
You said "I feel a little weaker"
The afterlife seems bitter, but sweeter
The downside flips you, holds you down, and keeps you
I'll die trying not to let it beat you
I know something that he used to say
It breaks my heart
I repeat it everyday
You never saw it coming?
Wasn't any other way?
Oh No
You said "I feel a little weaker"
The afterlife seems bitter, but sweeter
The downside flips you, holds you down, and keeps you
I'll die trying not to let it beat you
I know something that he used to say
It breaks my heart
I repeat it everyday
You never saw it coming? Never?
Wasn't any other way?
It's consequences, It’s consequences.
I want em back
I want him back
I want them back
I want her back
I want em all back
Tonight I’m drinking again
I keep my head low
Thoughts and my sins
But now we’re okay, for the night
You've got a big plan, you wrap those wrists tight
I'm thinking bad ideas
