When he died
My Dad he left me
His guitars and his guns
And I
I couldn’t believe
That this day had really come
And the memories some long forgotten
Came flooding back In photographs
And your friends shared your stories.
I hope you heard, I hope you laughed

Dad I —-

You won’t be here in the morning
So we will climb toward your light

He was a mountain
He was a mountain
He’s my Dad

The last time that I saw him
I held his hand and said goodbye But on the day we spread his ashes
I swear I felt him by my side
I hope that he heard me
I hope he hears this song
And I hope heaven has guitars so that he can play along

Dad I —-

You won’t be here in the morning
So we will climb toward your light

Bridge
I can see when I close my eyes
We’re all learning how to live a life
Without you

Every waking moment you’re on my mind
It’s so hard to sleep at night without you

Yeah, we climb toward your light but
Texas stars don’t shine as bright
Without you


He was a mountain
He was a mountain
He was my Dad

He was a mountain
He was a mountain
He was my Dad

"Quarter-Life Circus" captures the chaotic experience of navigating early adulthood with humor and raw honesty. The song reflects on the confusion, frustration, and societal pressures of trying to "have it all" by a certain age. From mounting bills to unfulfilled dreams, it paints a vivid picture of feeling like a clown in the circus of life, where nothing seems to make sense and every attempt to succeed falls short. With biting wit and self-reflection, this track serves as both a personal anthem and a broader commentary on the challenges many face in their twenties, offering a relatable mix of humor and vulnerability.

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Droppin’ beats, I own this place
Lights flashin’, crowd bashing
They shout my name, hands are frenzied
But I don't know, they do
They’re DJing my soul 
I'm lost in this oh
They're just spinnin me round
[Chorus]
I’m the DJ I'm the DJ
Spinnin that vibe
They're tribe, is spinning the vibe
Then I’m the DJ I'm the DJ
Spinnin that vibe they’re spinning my, my vibe
Their tribe, Their tribe is so vibe
They're spinning my my vibe,
[Verse 2]
They’re mixing music inside my mind,
While I’m just fading, 
Their tracks beating, I seen you lying, Oh ft time...
Every pulse, every beat, Every cheer, masterpiece 
I'm just a lease, I'm just on a lease
[Chorus]
I’m the DJ I'm the DJ
Spinnin that vibe
They're tribe, is spinning the vibe
Then I’m the DJ I'm the DJ
Spinnin that vibe they’re spinning my, my vibe

[Bridge]
So here I am, a man in unknown
they’re spinning my fate,
And I’m the one who’s just checking on...
[Chorus]
I’m the DJ I'm the DJ
Spinnin that vibe
Their tribe, is spinning the vibe
Then I’m the DJ I'm the DJ
Spinnin that vibe they’re spinning my, my vibe
Their tribe, Their tribe is so vibe
Their spinning my, my vibe,
