Despite it being the key ingredient to a perfect meal, it's the root to our happiness. You can have the finest things in life but it doesn't mean anything without family, love, laughter, and pain; that Extra Sauce!

Learning Me Again

[Verse 1]
Woke up late, forgot to eat,  
A shadow standing on my feet.  
Mirror don’t reflect my name,  
Same skin, but it don’t feel the same.  
I used to dance just down the hall,  
Barefoot, bold, ten feet tall.  
Now I freeze when silence speaks,  
Counting seconds, losing weeks.

[Chorus]
I don’t feel like myself anymore,  
Like I left her crying behind that door.  
She was sunlight, full of fire—  
Now I’m ashes dressed in quiet attire.  
I wear the face, I fake the grace,  
But I miss her laugh, her fearless pace.  
I don’t know where I started to fade…  
But I’d give it all to feel her again.

[Verse 2]
My friends don’t ask the heavy stuff,  
And I don’t tell them when it’s rough.  
I learned to joke, to spin, to cope,  
To wear mascara and give up hope.  
I used to write in purple pens,  
Now it’s deadlines, bills, and “depends.”  
I used to sing like no one heard—  
Now I choke on every word.

[Chorus]
I don’t feel like myself anymore,  
Like I left her crying behind that door.  
She was sunlight, full of fire—  
Now I’m ashes dressed in quiet attire.  
I wear the face, I fake the grace,  
But I miss her laugh, her fearless pace.  
I don’t know where I started to fade…  
But I’d give it all to feel her again.

[Verse 3]
Sometimes I hum a melody,  
And think she’s humming back to me.  
Like if I sing it soft enough,  
She’ll crawl back through all this stuff.  
There’s a photo in a dusty box—  
Eyes that spark before the loss.  
If I ever meet her in this haze…  
I’ll hold her close, and let her stay.

[Bridge]
Beneath the noise, beneath the mask,  
There’s still a girl I didn’t ask—  
To wait this long and still believe…  
But today I felt her breathe.

[Chorus]
I don’t feel like myself no more—  
But I just cracked open that old door.  
And in the quiet, I heard her hum,  
Like sunlight breaking through the numb.  
I wear the face, but now with grace,  
And feel her strength in every place.  
She never left — she lived within…  
And now I’m learning me again.

I don’t feel like myself anymore,  
Like I left her crying behind that door.  
She was sunlight, full of fire—  
Now I’m ashes dressed in quiet attire.  
I wear the face, I fake the grace,  
But I miss her laugh, her fearless pace.  
I don’t know where I started to fade…  
But I’d give it all to feel her again.

The Motive

I never know where I'm supposed to go,
so I just stay right here
hoping that you don't care,
and maybe it'll be for the best.
so, just f*ck fear.

I let skeptic sleep in my bed
and let cynic wreak havoc 
on my poor pretty head.

I sit back,
don't live.
Pourin' up again and again
until I lose all cognition.

alignment, late-night.
hold it 'til it feels right (x2)
hold it 'til it feels right?
I'ma be here all night

'Cause I never know if my sixth sense kicks in
whenever you call me 'friend',
I'm spilling all my emotions.
I'm a hopeless sap again.

Alignment late night
You've gotta hold it 'til it feels right
Hold it 'til it feels right
Well, I'ma be here all night.

Second guessing is my vice.
It keeps me late at night.
I wake up, middle of the night
and my chakras, I aline.
When I can't go back to sleep,
that's when I realize
I've made myself anxious
I've "dreamed up" this panic.

Second guessing is my vice
keeps me up at night.
But swear, it can do no wrong
until there's much harm done.
But I can't go back to sleep --
that's when I realize 
I've made myself anxious
I've "dreamed up" this mirage.
