Wow am I nervous Here we go This page is blank And though that's fine I fear These lines I write on will define my mind in rhyme And I don't if that is worth the time This road it winds And though that's okay I pray That someday this path will not lead me astray Cause I don't know if there's another way to go I cannot let it show that I'm falling I don't hear answers calling I feel myself becoming harder to please I keep on hiding from who I could be And maybe that's just me We'll have to wait and see The day is new The time is mine to build on Something bigger with these voices helping me design And let me say it has been quite the grind The lights are warm The stage is set, the audience is here And I don't know if we are ready yet But let's give them a show they won't forget As long as they don't know that I'm falling I don't hear answers calling Anxiety snowballing until I freeze I keep on hiding from who I could be And maybe that's just me We'll have to wait and see I think I'm 'bout to fall And I'm not scared at all Father says "Go, and leave yourself a great story" I don't know what's in store for me I'm ready to complete Ideas packed in the backseat I'm gonna cry so hard As Ma and Pop say goodbye I think I might throw up I feel life speeding up Shit I was just 13 And now I'm 23 Still fighting the same dream Just wanting to feel seen The world's been darker lately I don't care if you hate me This project, she my baby Kept me from going crazy And I don't know if it will ever be good enough Shit I might throw up I feel life speeding up I can't miss a moment I'm afraid to blink Hold the wheel steady, don't overthink Old me is dead, pour out a drink For Jude, who I'll never get the chance to thank And I know, this page is blank We'll have to wait and see No it can't just be me I'm falling I don't hear answers calling I feel myself becoming harder to please No it can't just be me This page is blank, And though that's fine I fear These lines I write on will define my mind in rhyme And I don't if that is worth the time I'm falling I don't hear answers calling Anxiety snowballing until I

This track might get me into some serious trouble Dear Lucie Today marks the day that we've been friends For seven years (Goddamn) And I've heard them say, dear Lucie That marks the day We have a friend for life And you're probably like why are you telling me this Because by now, dear Lucie It's become too crystal that you see Something in me Something that I'm still too blind to see And I've had to hide my lust In all those moments our lips just could've touched Dear Lucie, tonight I find myself asking Why me Dear Lucie, in this letter that you'll never read Dear Lucie Help me define Why I like the way your lipstick marks Your coffee cup from mine And oh-why-oh You're making it harder for me To play a new love's game I'm just hoping it's you that remains (Goddamn) By now, oh dear Lucie It's become too crystal that you see Something in me Something that I'm still too blind to see And I've had to hide my lust In all those moments our lips just could've touched Dear Lucie, tonight I find myself asking Why me Why me, why-why me Why me, why-why me, oh Why me, why-why me In this letter that you'll never read Why me, why-why me Why me, why-why me, oh Why me, why-why me In this letter that you'll never read Why me, why-why me Why me, oh why-why why-why Never gonna read, read, read In this letter that you'll never read

I think I got to get a COVID Test It's getting tighter up inside my chest Oh, I welcome you to 2020 what's your view What's your view? So now I get to quarantine alone Me and Big Brother up inside my phone Oh I welcome you to 2020 what's your view They hear you (Your voices are being heard) There's something scarier than Halloween this year The screaming pumpkin in my phone Is rotting me with fear I hope the end is near It's all just so (Ah-oh) So unclear (Please know, that your voices are being heard) Freedom of thought is under attack They'll cancel me just for a joke I crack Oh I welcome you to 2020 what's your view They might get you Call out the power that the police have And they start driving tanks up and down Ocean Ave Oh, I welcome you to 2020 what's your view? (Your voices are being heard) That's why I'm saying there's Something scarier than Halloween this year The screaming pumpkin in my phone Is rotting me with fear I hope the end is near Something scarier than Halloween this year The screaming pumpkin in my phone Is rotting me with fear I hope the end is near It's all just so (Ah-oh) So unclear (Please know, that your voices are being heard) They'll say it's critical For me not to get too political But there's a world I used to know Where did it go? They'll say it's critical For me not to get too political But there's a world I used to know Where did it go? Oh, where did it go? Where did it go? Where did it go?

Delusions of Grandeur 04:52
lyrics

Oh my, oh my Am I in over my head Watching as my dreams Expand beyond my bed And I'll try, I'll try To push my way ahead I will not be misled Go my own way instead Letting ideas bake Before they turn into bread What if I'm scared, not excited Extinguished, not ignited Now that I feel my future has begun? What if I take the time I need With my plans and I succeed, but It still feels like a waste when it's done? That's why I have to remind myself (Remind yourself) Don't get caught up in their attention (Don't get caught up in that) Somehow maintain my mental health (Your mental health) Before I lose sight of what's left of me In my fantasy I dream They're whispering that I'm the next new thing When all I want is just to save my soul Before delusions of grandeur have taken control Yeah, delusions of grandeur have taken control Oh my, oh my Don't think that I should grieve During the moments that I Briefly feel my ego leave And I'll try, I'll try To enjoy the reprieve I will not be naïve Can't let ego achieve Before I've lost my way With thought that only I believe What if I'm scared, not excited Extinguished, not ignited Now that I feel my future has begun? What if I take the time I need With my plans and I succeed, but It still feels like a waste when it's done? That's why I have to remind myself (Remind yourself) Don't get caught up in their attention (Don't get caught up in that) Somehow maintain my mental health (Your mental health) Before I lose sight of what's left of me In my fantasy I dream They're whispering that I'm the next new thing When all I want is just to save my soul Before delusions of grandeur have taken control Delusions of grandeur have taken control Delusions of grandeur have taken control And the musical break drops, like That's why I have to remind myself Don't get caught up in their attention (Don't get caught up in that) Somehow maintain my mental health (Your mental health) Before I lose sight of what's left of me In my fantasy I dream They're whispering that I'm the next new thing When all I want is just to save my soul Before delusions of grandeur have taken control

There are these feelings I can't explain There are these thoughts I have I can't retain And the rest might best be left unsaid It's all in my head, I made it all for you I've been consumed into my fantasy I have collided with my fears and you'll see That I keep warm when I feel your light Come cracking through me I don't know where I seem to find the bliss When I reminisce of you And it's a feeling that I cannot resist Even if I wanted to I feel you here Hey Jude, the sky is clear You're my direction without maps Oh you guide my soul, you guide my soul And oh no, I can't lie A single day does not pass by Without a passing of you through my daze Anyways There are these feelings that I can't explain There are these thoughts I have I can't retain And the rest might best be left unsaid It's all in my head, I made it all for you I've been consumed into my fantasy I have collided with my fears and you'll see That I keep warm when I feel your light Come cracking through me I don't know where I seem to find the bliss When I reminisce of you And it's a feeling that I cannot resist Even if I wanted to I reminisce of you Where I seem to find the bliss Oh I reminisce of you No I can't resist I reminisce of you I reminisce of you I reminisce of you And it's a feeling that I cannot resist I reminisce of you Hello universe, are you listening

Okay so you know how some of those songs That are like too explicit Will have that stamp That's like parental advisory or whatever Well I think this song should also have one Uh but for it being like too corny Like it needs a warning Uh for how corny this is about to be, so I fall for your free soul, every time Cause you seem to help me tame The chaos in my mind And you can probably see my eyes It's no surprise, oh I come to find that I fall for your free soul When I'm looking to unwind Yeah I fall for your free soul, every time I warned you This shit is corny as fuck Damn, oh damn You pull me like the tide I don't have to decide And oh we're skinny dipping While we are a-sipping On a nasty cheap white wine You know it's kinda overrated Complaining that we're complicated And maybe life's not down When you are around, oh Am I free now? You are my tattoo of a feather Forever going with the breeze You are the inconsistent weather That I'm weathering with ease I fall for your free soul, every time Cause you seem to help me tame The chaos in my mind And you can probably see my eyes It's no surprise, oh I come to find that I fall for your free soul When I'm looking to unwind I fall for your free soul Maybe you free my soul Baby you free my soul You free my soul, don't you know? Don't you know, you free my soul You free my soul Don't you know, you free my soul And 1, 2, 3, 4 and I fall for your free soul, every time Cause you seem to help me tame The chaos in my mind And you can probably see my eyes It's no surprise, oh I come to find that I fall for your free soul When I'm looking to unwind I fall for your free soul Oh I fall for your free soul I fall for your free soul, every time

He'll Stay Awake 03:06

He'll stay awake Even though it's his dreams That continue to dictate What he will create, yeah He feels the weight, yeah From all he's sacrificed to be called great He'll hesitate He cannot go back home To see her face on This fall from grace No she did not wait No she gave up on watching his ego inflate But hey, that's showbiz baby He'll stay awake Even though it's his phone That continues to vibrate Another update Will he take the bait Luring him towards a feed addiction Got him hooked on their plate He needs a break Cut the cord he doesn't know What is real or fake He'll disassociate A creators mandate Oh she knew his narcissism would just inflate He'll stay awake He'll stay awake He'll stay awake He'll stay awake He'll stay awake Even though it's his drink That continues to sedate He cannot see straight It was his mistake He knows the bottom of the bottle Don't stop the headache For goodness sake It's not too late He can quit his craving for escape It's an impulse he can shake A curse that he can break A record he can write A voice he could narrate Voice he could narrate He'll stay awake That's showbiz baby

Ooo that feels nice I think I'll duck back under twice The curtain is closed My goods are all exposed Can't wait to enjoy myself When I'm all alone But lack of distraction Brings cerebral reaction Reminding me I'm in a world I can't control (Oh... oh my) So like a tear drop in the rain Here I can naturally hide my pain I can wash the dirt off of my skin But filth in my thoughts still remain So as my body, my body keeps getting older My brain will keep on getting colder So for now let's keep the water hot And let these shower thoughts I got Drip drop off of me Drip drop, drip drop Drip-drip drop, drip drop Drip-drip drop, drip drop Drip-drop, drip drop Drip-Drop off of me Drip drop, drip drop Drip-drip drop, drip drop Drip-drip drop, shower thoughts I got Drip drop off of me Huh, I see the point in getting clean (Well I should hope so) As she becomes the only drug I need I'm sitting here in soaking fear That she reminds me of the kind of The kind of love that I'm afraid to repeat But I can't let her go (She's stuck in my head) This track could use another metaphor (There's more? What for?) Instead I'm peeing on the shower floor I guess I quit And is anyone really gonna give a shit If I riff on a verse and it makes it worse Just know its not because I don't care Cause that's not fair, fuck I can't remember if I washed my hair A studio somewhere, the lack of fresh air My friends make love while I make a snare so (Damn) So like a tear drop in the rain Here I can naturally hide my pain I can wash the dirt off of my skin But filth in my thoughts still remain So as my body, my body keeps getting older My brain will keep on getting colder So for now lets keep the water hot And let these shower thoughts I got Drip drop off of me Drip drop, drip drop Drip-drip drop, drip drop Drip-drip drop, drip drop Drip-drop, drip drop Drip-Drop off of me Drip drop, drip drop Drip-drip drop, drip drop Drip-drip drop, shower thoughts I got Drip drop off of me Feeling the water stream off my chin My head just simply cannot help but begin To drift off, watching it swirl down the drain And it stops, only when my dream bubble pops Feeling the water stream off my chin My head just simply cannot help but begin To drift off, watching it swirl down the drain And it stops, only when my dream bubble pops Drip drop, drip drop Drip-drip drop, drip drop (When my dream bubble pops) Drip-drip drop, drip drop Drip-drop, drip drop Drip-Drop off of me (Here I can naturally hide my pain) Drip drop, drip drop Drip-drip drop, drip drop (When my dream bubble pops) Drip-drip drop, shower thoughts I got Drip drop off of me Drip drop, drip drop In my dream bubble drip drop Drip-drop, drip drop Drip-Drop off of me When my dream bubble pops Shower thoughts I got Drip drop off of me

So we just, you know Did what we do Which is staying up till like Four in the morning Just talking, just talking And tonight was one for the books It was one for the books, and uh I had to write about it Before I went to bed, so The more she denies it's an innocent world The more I think she'll thrive And the more she believes that theirs beauty out there The less she looks at herself inside But she enjoys the breaths of air she takes Just to remind her she's alive While the splatter of the rain Reminds her to stay grounded Cause she will only ever be What she chooses to reveal And she will only ever see the things The shadows cannot steal And you will never be prepared To hold the love she'll make you feel For when it finally clicks That you could never live a way without her The more we stay up scheming The more she feels apart And the more she dreams of leaving The less she builds a house out of her own damn heart And so she puts her friends in frames So that from the very start Their smiles never change And memories are always welcome Memories are always welcome Memories are always welcome Cause she will only ever be What she chooses to reveal And she will only ever see the things The shadows cannot steal And you will never be prepared To hold the love she'll make you feel For when it finally clicks That you could never live a way without her In your life Oh it feels so right Oh with you in my life With you in my life Oh it feels so right now Huh, I'm sorry if that was all over the place I just had to get it out

I Fantasize Too Much. 06:19

I'd like to believe I've just begun That every snowflake I keep my eye on Will gently land right on my tongue That every question without an answer Is just a song yet to be sung And the crowd will cheer louder When the underdog has won I fantasize too much I feel myself losing touch Of who I am, of who I was I fantasize too much I fantasize too much I fantasize too much I'd like to believe I won't be judged for The mistakes that I push through That my people will always be with me On this dream that I pursue That this weed will someday lift me This liquor stops making me think of you And the only thing I know Is how little I actually know so I fantasize too much I feel myself losing touch Of who I am, of who I was Oh, na na na, I fantasize too much I fantasize too much I fantasize too much I fantasize too much I'd like to believe I'll find a lover Golden handcuff me till we're dead Who's presence would always drown out All them demons in my head Who say commitment it's too scary Just go write music instead Cause freedom to express ideas Will never come to an end I fantasize too much I'm losing touch Of who I am and of who I once was, because I ignored the clock ticks Shit, now I'm 26 God am I already out of tricks I fantasize too much I feel myself losing touch Of who I am, of who I was I fantasize too much I fantasize too much I'm tired Maybe tomorrow I'll be inspired But for now, for now I'll keep moving on On, yeah, uh, whoh I'm tired Maybe tomorrow I'll be inspired But for now, for now I keep moving on, on, on I fantasize I'm tired Maybe tomorrow I'll be inspired But for now, for now I keep moving on, on, on I fantasize I'm I fantasize I'm I fantasize I'm tired Maybe tomorrow I'll be inspired But for now I keep moving on I fantasize I'm tired Maybe tomorrow I'll be inspired But for now I keep moving on I fantasize too much I fantasize too much I fantasize too much I'm tired Maybe tomorrow I'll be inspired But for now I keep moving on I fantasize too much I feel myself losing touch Of who I am, of who I was Oh I fantasize too much I fantasize too much I fantasize too much
