Rubber and New Leaf at the Dock Sports Bar for Wide Open Mic 4/26/22
Lyrics - Rubber 
We've been over this, we're not over this
We're overthinking it, over's all we'd get
Please don't leave just yet
Plead with that what's left
Never pleased, I guess by now you're pleased to end

Pleading with a brick wall, I answer every nameless call
When summer turns into fall, my shadow just don't stand so tall
Fool me once, I guess
 I’ll take what I get
I‘ll get you back yet, with love or with regret
Fooled don’t quite cover, just how deep under
Control of lovers I get, I get, you get it? I’m rubber 
Pleading with a brick wall
I answer every nameless call 
When summer turns into fall, my shadow just don’t stand so tall
I can’t help but rather have you stay and play pretend
Like maybe you’d change your mind if I don’t let it end
Let it end 
So make me promises, make me feel nice things
Make this day our best because last is coming next
Make those lies sound real make them hard to heal, cuz god knows no one cares, unless the scars stay there
 From pleading with a brick wall, I answer every nameless call 
When summer turns into fall, my shadow just don’t stand so, just don’t stand so tall
That my heart just can’t help at all




Lyrics - New Leaf
I was never waiting for a day to last forever
I think I’d have been okay with something just to hold me over 
I was never dreaming of a love of someone else’s 
I think I just wanted to feel I was loved like someone else was, 
Am I not?

New leafs been turned over and it showed a four leaf clover but I can’t seem to get sober from myself
I’d say I can’t help it but I know that would be selfish I just finally wanna hold her for myself

You could call me stupid or a fool or say I’m useless I think maybe that’s not true but right now I could not disprove it
I have tried so very hard to act according to my judgment but I can’t seem to get over how she felt

New Leaf’s been turned over and It showed a four leaf clover but I can’t seem to get sober from myself
I’d say I can’t help it but I know that would be selfish I just finally wanna hold her for myself

Falling out of love is just like falling out of water when you think it’s so impossible a waterfall will drop you in the throes,
Falling out of love is never quite like I remember, always something new to hold onto; it takes a part of you before it goes.

Rubber/NewLeaf @The Docks

Pleading with a brick wall


We've been over this
We're not over this 
We're overthinking it
Over's all we'd get
Please don't leave just yet
Plead with that what's left
Never pleased I guess
By now you're probably pleased to end 
Pleading with a brick wall 
I answer every nameless call
When summer turns into fall
My shadow just don't stand so tall
Fool me once I guess 
I'll take what I get 
I'll get you back yet 
With my lifelong love, or with regret
Fooled don't quite cover
Just how deep under 
Control of lovers
I get, you get it? I'm rubber
Pleading with a brick wall
I answer every nameless call
When summer turns into fall 
My shadow just don't stand so tall

I can't help, I'd rather have you stay and play pretend
Like maybe you'd change your mind if I don't let it end
I'd let it end
Let it end
So make me promises 
Make me feel nice things 
Make this day our best 
God knows last is coming next
Make those lies sound real
Make 'em hard to heal
God knows no one cares 
Unless the goddamn scars stay there

Pleading with a brick wall
I answer every nameless call
When summer turns into fall 
My shadow just don't stand so tall
And my heart just can't help at all

Snowball's Chance

Things Change

Dull white ceiling tiles
You know them so well
You stare at them and they stare right back
And tell you everything you wanna hear about all of your crazy fears
Out the window you
Point your envy you
Know that you could do
Anything you wanted to but something keeps on stopping you in your tracks

Stuck in the seat where you sit
Thinking in a four-year-strong mindset
It doesn't reassure you but it hasn't killed you yet so you'll keep it to yourself
Stuck at home you're alone, but you'll never let on not yet

Phone can't get a hold
Of friends you thought you had
Got your sleep and took a walk like they said but somethings still making you sad
Just cant seem to cry
Something's not quite right
Tears just stay inside
You know you feel but no one stops for signs, no one spots the signs

Stuck in the seat where you sit
Stuck in a four-year-strong mindset
It doesn't reassure you but it hasn't killed you yet so you'll keep it in your head 
You're at home you're alone, but you'll never let on, not yet
you're at home all alone, but you'll never let on, not yet

Home's my castle, huh?
My place of comfort huh?
Why's the only place I stay the one where I can't get away from the parts of me I hate?

Hold me closer, lord
If you're there, that is
I don't buy it but it doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt to try
Hold me closer, ma
No one else will call
You can only see the what but not the why, the things I feel to cry, they torture you inside
I'm sorry

Stuck in a seat where you sit
Stuck in a four-year-strong mindset
It doesn't reassure you but it hasn't killed you yet so you'll keep it in your head 
Stuck at home you're alone, but you'll never let on not yet
you're at home all alone, but you can never let on
you're at home all alone, but you'll never let on quite yet...

Sad by Default

A song I wrote after dropping out of high school-- I mean, dropping out of school, high.

Lyrics
We've been over this, we're not over this
We're overthinking it, over's all we'd get
please don't leave just yet, plead with that what's left
never pleased I guess, by now pleased to end

Pleading with a brick wall, I answer every nameless call
When summer turns into fall, my shadow just don't stand so tall

Fool me once I guess, I'll take what I get
But I'll get you back yet with my lifelong regret
Fooled don't quite cover just how deep under
Control of lovers I get, I'm rubber

Pleading with a brick wall, I answer every nameless call
When summer turns into fall, my shadow just don't stand so tall

I can't help I'd rather have you stay and play pretend
like maybe you'd change your mind if I don't let it end

So make me promises, make me feel nice things
Make this day our best, cuz last is coming next
Make those lies sound real, make them hard to heal
god knows no one cares unless the scars are there

Pleading from a brick wall, I answer ever nameless call
when summer turns into fall, my shadow just don't stand so tall
Bleeding from a pitfall that my heart just can't help at all..

Rubber

Lyrics

Don't wanna be that guy
Who’s not the apple of your eye
Don’t wanna be surprised, if One day you cry at breakfast
Don't wanna be the silent one to sit n wonder why
I wanna know just what you’re like 
Look in your eye I recognize 
I’m not the why 

I don’t wanna be that guy 
With ten broken olive branches
Cornered by the sad romantic’s fears
What are the chances here
The jealous type
Who’s love is shaded frantic 
Cant sit still but I can’t stand it 
That guys got his feelings’ ceilings too


Don’t wanna be that blind 
Mid-U turn but I can’t find myself 
I turn so far I return to you, what I’m to do 
Don’t wanna be that type 
No self respect, your silhouette 
As I follow, I myself trailed by regret
Don’t wanna be that guy
Whose mirrors got it in for him 
‘Don’t look now you won’t remember him 
Just someone that you ain’t done right by’
I’m someone I gotta do right by

I don’t wanna realize 
In twenty years that I still cry 
Cant feel tears, cuz they’ve all dried (a long convincing lie)
I don’t wanna have to find 
The one I should found, with half my life I won’t have now, surrounded by the signs won’t be that guy 

I don’t wanna have this fight 
But I’m afraid for both of us unless you got  something else in mind
So just tell me I’m not right 
That there’s something else I’m missing, say something and help me listen 
Just don’t let me feel like I’m that guy

That Guy

A college student in Seattle that spends too much time in open mic nights.
