don’t say it too loud
they don’t need to find out
hiding from the holy ghost
flying to the left coast
caught up in the clouds
and I’m sucking helium balloons

girl you been handmade to be your own rebel
were born a handmaid, now you’re dying with the devil
don’t gotta read your mind babe, you on the level
in sin livin’ we revel now

it’s your fate to be adorned
not to feel self righteous scorn
it’s not too late, you been reborn
so let’s go find our unicorn
we gotta find our unicorn

we’re taking it slow
under the rainbow
it started at soba when you told me you got sway
your life in a bubble, now you break in a bad way
so tired of behaving
got caught in the flow
and I’m dipping my toes in too

girl you been handmade to be your own rebel
were born a handmaid, now you’re dyin’ with the devil
don’t gotta read your mind babe, you on the level
in sin livin’ we revel now

it’s your fate to be adorned
not to feel self righteous scorn
it’s not too late, you been reborn
so let’s go find our unicorn
we gotta find our unicorn

i’m down with you
are you down with me?
is there something more, more, more?
i’m down with you
are you down with me?
is there something more, more?

girl you been handmade to be your own rebel
were born a handmaid, now you’re dyin’ with the devil
don’t gotta read your mind babe, you on the level
in sin livin’ we revel now

it’s your fate to be adorned
not to feel self righteous scorn
it’s not too late, you been reborn
so let’s go find our unicorn
we gotta find our unicorn

i don't care that you can't talk
over the phone
your sign language interpreter
is making it known
that you're shady as hell
you're crazy i can tell
for a long time i've been the judge
but oh how i've grown

i only care about the money
i look out for number one right now
i find it kinda funny
that god almighty gonna cut me down
and if you gotta quote a MAGA meme, well
maybe that's how i gotta be
i find it kinda funny
that god almighty gonna cut me down

i can see your qanon 
flag from the street
you flew it while you quarantined
that ain't hard to believe
fuck your elvis song
you better run on and on
for a long time i've been the judge
but oh how i've grown

i only care about the money
i look out for number one right now
i find it kinda funny
that god almighty gonna cut me down
and if you gotta quote a MAGA meme, well
maybe that's how i gotta be
i find it kinda funny
that god almighty gonna cut me down

i've wasted so much time
tryna please you throughout my life
but i won't no more
no more
no more

anymore i only care about the money
i look out for number one right now
i find it kinda funny
that god almighty gonna cut me down
and if you gotta quote a MAGA meme, well
maybe that's how i gotta be
i find it kinda funny
that god almighty gonna cut me down

God Almighty Gonna Cut Me Down

I wish I can be a ghost
And haunt you still
That way I'd never ruin
Your life
Float in rhyme with you
Oh how sublime you'd feel
'Cause no one ever wanted
Me alive

And there's no need to atone
No need to atone
When round and round we go
Round and round we go
I wish I can be a ghost
And haunt you still
'Cause I want to be here with you
At night

I refuse to give up on you
I flushed them all for eternity
Baby you keep me in perfect peace
You don't even know
So please don't go
You don't even know
So please don't go
You don't even know
So please don't go
You don't even know
So please don't go
You don't even know

There's no need to atone
No need to atone
When round and round we go
Round and round we go
I wish I can be a ghost
And haunt you still
'Cause I want to be here with you

Give me grace
And I'll give you space
Let's call it even before you go
Give me signs
And I'll give you time
Last call to Philly on the 5:04

Just please promise you'll come back to me
Promise you'll come back to me
Just please promise you'll come back to me
Alone

When you say
"I can't take it, I gotta get away"
I can't fake it, I wanted you to stay
Now you're making me binge Succession all by myself
It's okay
As long as you're home by Saturday
It's Halloween, your favorite day
A quiet porch swing waits, I promise I won't try to help

If you promise you'll come back to me
Promise you'll come back to me
Just please promise you'll come back to me

Alone
Alone
Alone
Alone

Just please promise you'll come back to me
Promise you'll come back to me
Just please promise you'll come back to me
Alone

Promise You'll Come Back To Me

You comfort me when I'm crawling
And lift me when I'm crestfallen
I gotta make a phone call
To my girl
She's unperturbed
And all's right in the world
You belly laugh when I'm bombing
And lift me when I'm crestfallen
I never fake a slow drawl
With my girl
Piss drunk and slurred
And all's right in the world

All's right
All's right in the world
All's right
All's right in the world
All's right
All's right in the world
All's right
All's right

Why do I feel blue?
I got this life with you
So please show me once again
How do you enjoy?
Softly you can soothe
I know this much is true
So please show me once again
How do you enjoy?

You comfort me when I'm crawling
And lift me when I'm crestfallen
I gotta make a phone call
To my girl
She's undeterred
And all's right in the world
You belly laugh when I'm bombing
And lift me when I'm crestfallen
I never fake a slow drawl
With my girl
Piss drunk and slurred
And all's right in the world

All's right
All's right in the world
All's right
All's right in the world
All's right
All's right in the world
All's right
Yeah

On Loma Vista
You wakin' and bakin'
Well you and your good time
Cannot be mistaken
It's been a long, long time
Keep fakin' and makin'
Tell you favorite cousin we're back in town
This city's ours for the taking
I can be your Malibu man
Free to be your number one stan
Y'all relax in the back seat
I only had 5 milligrams
Highway One, 2 hour drive
Three violent shakes needed
To revive you at the Dodger game
Don't scare me now
I'd be the one to blame

Why do I feel so blue?
I got this life with you
Show me
Show me, yeah
Softly you can soothe
I know this much is true
So please sell me again
On how to find that unbridled joy

You comfort me when I'm crawling
And lift me when I'm crestfallen
I gotta make a phone call
To my girl
She's unperturbed
And all's right in the world
You belly laugh when I'm bombing
And lift me when I'm crestfallen
I never fake a slow drawl
With my girl
Piss drunk and slurred
And all's right in the world

Crestfallen

If you hear me crying
You don't need to pray
If you hear me crying
It's 'cause I finally got some hope of late
If you hear me crying
I'm trying to break out like an inmate
If you hear me crying
Just know I'm okay

I know you ain't prying
You're not the kind
I always feel like dying
But now I'd rather be alive sometimes
I know that you're pining
For me to come back to bed
I've wrestled through the night
If you hearing me crying
Don't worry I'm fine
So fine

If you hear me crying
I'm trying to break out like an inmate
If you hear me crying
Just know I'm okay

If You Hear Me Crying

She Know She Fine

Retiro under the palm trees
So fried
Retiro down by the calm seas
The moonlight
Oh it hurts you when you call him
But I'll find a way to solve it soon
Under the moon
It will become so clear to you

Retiro walk in the morning
Long flight
Nine sangrias on no sleep
Lo-hi
Oh it's like I'm stuck in first gear
I know I'm gonna crash here soon
Under the moon
It will become so clear to you
And I know it too
It will become so clear to you

Oh
Oh

Retiro oh my retiro
Slow stride
On Calle Maldonado
Feels right
Oh it hits me when I call it
I'll find a way to solve it soon
Under the moon
It will become so clear to you
And I know it too
It will become so clear to you

Retiro

I hate it at the plantation party
The people suck and they don't got any booze
Why do the beards got to act so stuffy?
I'm flying low and I got something to lose

No country twink could ever make me happy
I'm consecrated in the big city life
I know myself but not when I'm with family
Stockholm syndrome and I'm holding a knife

How can you love me?
Can you teach me?
Up in the great wight north
Can you teach me?

I never thought that I could fight on Sundays
Beaten down, there's plenty more I can take
The hardest winter is a lonely Monday
I read a woman drowned out on the lake

How can you love me?
Can you teach me?
Up in the great wight north
Can you teach me?
How can you love me?
Is it too late for you to teach me?
Up in the great wight north
Can you teach me?

'Cause I never learn, learn, learn
I'm ready to burn, burn, burn
'Cause I never learn, learn, learn
I'm ready to burn, burn, burn
'Cause I never learn, learn, learn
I'm ready to burn, burn, burn

A fragment for my friend
If your soul left this Earth
I would follow and find you
Silent, my starship suspended in night

Great Wight North

I hope this email finds you doing well
But why should I say sorry
When it's you that made me yell?
I thought I lost you

In Alicante
In Alicante
I thought I lost you
In Alicante
In Alicante
I thought I lost you

I know six sexes on the beaches
Won't cure my strife
But what was I to do?
That fucker picked the wrong man's wife

In Alicante
In Alicante
He better hide
In Alicante
In Alicante
I thought I lost you

It can be just like before
On the pill, no need for more
It can be like summer days
Texting fires and boners
No time to waste
It can be just like before
No shrinks, no need to mourn
It can be just like before
Just like before
Just like before
Before I lost you

In Alicante
In Alicante
I lost you
In Alicante
In Alicante
I thought I lost you

I thought I lost you
I'm lost

We got one more day to go
'Til our very first rodeo
I'll do what you wanna do
Once our calendars combined
Now I finally know when it's time
To love you the way that you want me to

So don't be lonely all alone
Here tonight
There's no need to be
Lonely all alone
At Christmastime

You got that glow
Glow
Glow of a
Well-laid woman
I'll come and go slow and
Make it so fun
You go that glow
Glow
Glow of a
Well-laid woman
Trust me you know I'll make it
So fun
So fun
Alright

The day-moon barely waxed
You still found that shit in two seconds flat
My love's going free for you
And tonight if you ain't so taxed
Well I'm one light breeze away
From a very big problem at that
Oh champagne's bubbling
Meant for two
I got a new fang back round for you

You got that glow
Glow
Glow of a
Well-laid woman
I'll come and go slow and
Make it so fun
You go that glow
Glow
Glow of a
Well-laid woman
Trust me you know I'll make it
So fun
So fun
You know I'll make it so fun
So fun
Oh

Next holiday
We will be three of a kind
Three of a kind

So don't be lonely all alone
Here tonight
There's no need to be
Lonely all alone
At Christmastime

You got that glow
Glow
Glow of a
Well-laid woman
I'll come and go slow and
Make it so fun
You go that glow
Glow
Glow of a
Well-laid woman
Trust me you know I'll make it
So fun
You know I'll make it so
So, so fun
You know I'll make it

Whoa
Whoa

Girl I know
Why you're so sad
You feel so bad for feeling bad again
Your knife was slow
So cut the crap
You maxed out my Roth worth 40k and ran
I thought we'd have a chance to talk
After one of your hot-girl walks
So I'll stay glued to our Ring doorbell cam

Oh Jillian
I don't care anymore
I just want you to be happy
So happy again
Oh Jillian
I don't care anymore
I just want you to be happy
So happy again

You took the ambulance
That I bankrolled
Such a rookie move for a so-called Lexipro
I wanted more BDSM
But you said no
In that retaliatory Insta post
You said "I'm done being your muse
Now that my estrogen is fused
With seratonin in my brain"
Oh what a ruse
Cut to me using Cory Chase to soothe
Well this is gonna be the move
To keep on jackin' off and canceling plans

Oh Jillian
I don't care anymore
I just want you to be happy
So happy again
Oh Jillian
I don't care anymore
I just want you to be happy
So happy again

Days filled with sharing
Years filled with caring
There's just no comparing
A life filled with love
Days filled with sharing
Years filled with caring
There's just no comparing
A life where you're happy
So happy again
A life where you're happy
So happy again

I don't care anymore
I don't give a fuck anymore

Oh Jillian
I don't care anymore
I just want you to be happy
So happy again
Oh Jillian
I don't care anymore
I just want you to be happy
So happy again

Whoa
Whoa
Whoa

Jillian

I will love you
I'll love you forever
I will like you
I'll like you for always
I will love you
I'll love you forever
I will like you
I'll like you for always

Oh it's killing me to know
That you and I may never meet
But as long as I am living
My baby you will be

I will love you
I'll love you forever
I will like you
I'll like you for always
I will love you
I'll love you forever
I will like you
I'll like you for always

Oh it's killing me to know
A secret I may never keep
But as long as I am living
My baby you will be
Oh it's killing me to know
That you and I may never meet
But as long as I am living
My baby you will be

I will love you
I'll love you forever
I will like you
I'll like you for always
I will love you
I'll love you forever
I will like you
I'll like you for always

Always
