my heart aches from listening to this song

expect a few versions of this one lol. written in 2019.

FUCK YOU (ME)

what's the point of telling the truth anymore
when there are people waiting for you to fall to the floor
i keep my thoughts to myself like a nice young man
but understand it’s only cuz i think you’d hate me again
where’s the fun in trying your best all the time
looks like it’s easier to let things flow and not force the rhyme
at least not all the time

i guess this is life (is this life?) (this life?)
GOD I'M ALIVE
and i will take it upon myself to decide what is wrong from right
i'll do what i like (what i like) (i like)
THIS IS MY LIFE
and it goes like

i wake up and i’m real pissed off
my head goes
FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK YOU FUCK YOU
i smoke a bit and try not to cough
my lungs go
FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK YOU FUCK YOU
how many times in a day do i think to myself
FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK YOU FUCK YOU
how many times in a day do i say to myself
FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK YOU FUCK YOU

i made a list of all the things i should do tomorrow
instead of sleeping in
i’m shedding off this skin
and letting go of who i once was
someday i swear i’ll beat the system
and break every rule till i’m numb
i’m learning to run
away from the signs that say “RUN”
 
i guess this is life (is this life?)
AHHHH AHHHH
and i will take it upon myself to decide what is wrong from right
i'll do what i like (what i like) (i like)
THIS IS MY LIFE
and it goes like

i wake up and i’m real pissed off
(i wake up and i’m real pissed off)
my head goes
(my head goes)
FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK YOU FUCK YOU
i smoke a bit and try not to cough
(i smoke a bit and try not to cough)
my lungs go
(my lungs go)
FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK YOU FUCK YOU
how many times in a day do i think to myself
(how many times in a day do i think to myself)
FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK YOU FUCK YOU
how many times in a day do i say to myself
(how many times in a day do i say to myself)
FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK YOU FUCK YOU

FUCK YOU(ME) [very old acoustic demo]

“LUCKY SEVEN” Lyrics
AMin Prog

VERSE 1
Can’t fight this feelin’
Feels like dreamin’
Floating through the sky
Stars above don’t lie
We were meant to be
You set me free, yeah

CHORUS
Never really believed in luck
Then the lightning struck
Don’t have to tell me twice
You’re the winning roll of the dice
You’re my lucky seven
This must be heaven, yeah


VERSE 2
Can’t stop believin’
You’re sent from above
Feels like flyin’
Walking in the clouds
There’s no doubt at all
It’s quite simple
You’re special, yeah

CHORUS REPEAT

BRIDGE
Somewhere across the galaxy
Where fates align
Our stories entwined
In stardust

CHORUS REPEAT

Lincoln - Downhill

s/o to colin riordan again. luv that man.

you trapped me with words that meant nothing to you
“i love you" was bullshit you felt nothing new but
i found a way i found a way i found a way
out
i found a way i found a way i found a way
i thought you could change but that just goes to show
when happiness hurts well it's all got to go but
i found a way i found a way i found a way
out
i found a way i found a way i found a way
out now

this is for the last time you talked to me
when you threw the wooden spoon in your hand at me
it’s been
six months since you looked me in the eyes
not a day goes by without me thinking of you
i miss you
and i know it’s wrong but i get sick when i picture
you with another guy

i don't know what i was thinking
leaving you
you're the one thing that i truly needed
you

well what did you 
expect
from me
after all the times
that i 
believed
that we were going to end
it's harder to pretend when you're not pretending anymore
and what did i
expect
from you
when you'd tell me what you thought
i thought was the truth
what am i doing
what am i doing

this is for the friends that i lost too soon
for the one that i loved, and that fucking spoon
i'm sorry
i let you down
you'll smoke pot, but you won't touch weed
i guess that's what makes you different from me
you love me
but you won't touch me

and you won't even realize what you've done
so all i'm left with is this smoking gun

well what did you 
expect
from me
after all the times
that i 
believed
that we were going to end
it's harder to pretend when you're not pretending anymore
and what did i
expect
from you
when you'd tell me what you thought
i thought was the truth
what am i doing
what am i doing

i never thought that i would end up like this
i never thought that i would end up like this
i never thought that i would end up like this
i never, how did i end up like this

well what did you 
expect
from me
after all the times
that i 
believed
that we were going to end
it's harder to pretend when you're not pretending anymore
and how come i could never see
that you never truly loved me

i'm not sorry

single (FIRST MIX)

wooden spoon

a few weeks ago i could only do 10 push-ups
and six months ago i thought you were my girl
now things have changed and i'm so tired
i thought that i was your world

but now you've got new friends
you have all these beginnings while i've got ends
that i didn't want
and yeah you fucked some other dude
i guess he loves you more than i do

you say that you've found god
but that's for brownie points
a lie only a sad sad person would tell
i don't buy religion, so here's my concept
your school spirit is sending you straight to my hell

but now you've got new friends
you have all these beginnings while i've got ends
that i didn't want
and yeah you fucked some other dude
i guess he loves you more than i do
yeah putting up with all your shit
didn't work out like i'd hoped it would
so i guess i'll just move on
shower song

school spirit

shower song

try and try again
you bring me up and break me down
life is bland
i'm tired of playing around
new faces i don't know the voices of
yours is not the one i long for
anymore

i fell in love with a temporary tattoo
i risked a lot to ink my skin
but it fell through
and every day i miss the old you
i'm not saying that you gotta stay the same
but i didn't think you'd change

remember now and then
the way we used to feel, in love
now i'm spent
from hours of thinking i'm alone
how should i feel
now that you say the past few months
have not been real
you used me

i fell in love with a temporary tattoo
i risked a lot to ink my skin
but it fell through
and every day i miss the old you
i'm not saying that you gotta stay the same
but i didn't think you'd change
i'm not saying that you gotta stay the same
but i didn't think you'd change
yeah you changed
i wish you hadn't changed
but you changed

try and try again
you bring me up and break me down
life is bland

i had a dream about a girl
but this time it wasn't you
that hasn't happened before
felt nice to kiss someone new
i don't remember her face
but she had soft brown hair
not thin and dyed out of place
like the style that you wear

i felt happy when i woke up
and that's unusual

cause these days i'm stressed out, messed up
i'm forced to clean myself up
it's hard but i'll admit it
i've got problems too
cause these days i'm pissed off, fed up
and my friends are dealing with
their own stuff
yeah they've got problems too
but we'll all get through it

i walked a mile by myself
considered options and plans
i realize i've got bigger fish to fry
and don't need you to hold my hand
you're in the same boat
focusing on yourself
so i'll take the letters that you wrote to me
and place them on a shelf

i don't smoke anymore
but i sure as hell want to

cause these days i'm stressed out, messed up
i'm forced to clean myself up
it's hard but i'll admit it
i've got problems too
cause these days i'm pissed off, fed up
and my friends are dealing with
their own stuff
yeah they've got problems too
cause these days i'm tired, hungry
figuring out if i like me
it's hard but i'll admit it
i've got my problems too
cause these days i'm pissed off, fed up
and my friends are dealing with
their own stuff
yeah they've got problems too
but we'll all get through it

life!

Freshman Halloween

Just wanted to take some time to explain why this song and this project is so important to me. Queer narratives are so rare in mainstream media and it’s kind of my mission as an artist to change that and to bring more queer, especially trans, stories to the fore front of pop music. I wrote Transient almost a year ago, really early in my transition as I was trying to figure out how to authentically he myself as a trans man and make the people around me happy. It was really hard because I felt like my choices were really hurting other people, and it was hard for me to put my needs first which made me really upset and sad a lot. I needed the validation of those around me that what I was doing was ok for me to be ok with it myself. But as months went by I realized that my transition wasn’t for other people but for myself, and even though it may take time for other people to adjust, those who truly deserved to be apart of my life would adjust and adapt. I hope this song rings true as a message to anyone in the closet or struggling with their image of themselves that although the support of others is crucial to a transition, your happiness is most important and to stay true to that no matter what. When I was coming out I didn’t have many role models or support figures to help me throughout my transition so I just want everyone to know that if you ever need someone to talk to you can always talk to me, our DM’s are always open. Much love and enjoy the single, Flynn

Transient

Thanks to Ryan from LakeFront Studios for making this possible.
