right now around 5 it gets dark outside
who can we thank for saving time
looking around everything is dark
and I can't remember where we parked
hold my hand until we get to the car please

sometimes when I move through the night
there's a spotlight on everybody but me
it's alright I can learn to dance in the dark
('til everybody's watching)
somehow when the sun goes down
and the lights go out
everybody leaves now
I can't let you go, no I can't let you go
but I can let you down

and do you want to dance with me
even when it means no one can see

it's after the movie we came to see at 3
and I would usually ask you to have a bite with me
but I know you're going to ask me to drop you off at home
and for the first time I'm going to drive home alone

I can let you down

walkin around this big ol’ house
screamin secrets we can’t talk about 
giants help us stand to reach the top shelf
living large we sell ourself
only an hour we tell ourself

photobooth memories she cries in pain
evidence in her hands of a man in south padre
we harmonize to the cries
then she calms down again on nicotine

you can’t be sober
you can’t sing sober
you can’t write sober 
you can’t write sober 
you can’t write

cabin fever on a ranch
ennis you got us dancin in your hands
who woke up today
God I hear them say
GOD I hear them say

recycled hell

ennis

There is no top shelf solution for this
There is no alternative Let’s call it what it is 
There is no fight left in me I cannot commit
I left a thousand years ago

I’m tired of the cruddy songs I can’t even sing along to my own shit I wrote before 
I can fit a thousand lies in between a couple rhymes and try to make you cry to 4 dumb chords 
The poetry is killin me I’m clingin to a middle C I’m copying everything I wrote
Let’s call it what it is again I’m careless to the fucking end 
Until I let go

And maybe in a couple years I won’t plug my fuckin ears every time Logic plays my track
If only in another life I could calm a wildfire-calculated angle of attack
So much for a five year plan stick it to the fuckin man I can’t remember damn amnesiac 
Drivin while I’m fuckin blind I’m losin my fuckin mind journeyin round a cul-de-sac

There is no top shelf solution for this
There is no alternative Let’s call it what it is 
There is no fight left in me I cannot commit
I left a thousand years ago

The poetry is killin me I’m clingin to a middle C I copy everything
Let’s call it what it is again I’m careless to the fuckin end -

autopsy in real time

I don’t even recognize myself
What have I done what have I done
Always telling all these lies to myself
What have I done what have I done
I haven’t run away but there’s this distance
Bittersweet persistence 
I’m confused but I listen
I can’t confide in myself
What have I done what have I done

The beauty of your eyes I behold in my mind
What have you done what have you done 
Imprisoned there’s a barricade it serenades my mind
What have you done what have you done
I just can’t reach out and touch you
I just can’t reach out and touch you
Biting my hand before it reaches you
Biting my hand I’m biting my

I rummage through my memories like walls punched
Light comes in effortlessly like lines punched
But there is no laughter in the slaughter of grace
What have I done what have I done
Consequences in the trenches and we call it fate
What have I done what have I done

what have I done

lemme

I would have been on the sidelines
Which you know bc I was once
I was there when nobody else was cheering your name
And the crowd we became friends
I would know it always ends
Now there’s nobody calling for me

You worked me up
You let me down
You ruined every single day of the summer
And you weren’t even there to blame 
You stood me up
You pushed me down
You ruined every single day of the summer
Now 7 months later I got no one to blame

And now we’ve got 1000 missed calls
And we’re crashing into walls
And all of them keep me away

You worked me up
You let me down and
You ruined every single day of my summer
And you weren’t even there to blame 
You stood me up
You pushed me down
You ruined every single day of my summer
Now 7 months later I got no one to blame

You worked me up
You let me down and
You ruined every single day of my summer
And you weren’t even there to blame 
You stood me up
You pushed me down
You ruined every single day of my summer
You weren’t even there to blame
I got no one to blame

(written 2022)
(recorded again 2025)

you ruined every single day of my summer

you ruined every single day of my summer (2025 version)

All of your heinous crimes
All planned out before it’s time to growl
You fish in shallow water
My Beast, your teeth are hallow

There’s no making it out
There’s no making it out alive
There’s no making it out
There’s no making it out of love

Baby, you had me at Hell

Normal boys break their toys
But no, no, no you put me on your shelf
Normal boys break their toys
But no, no, no you put me on your shelf

All of your heinous crimes
All planned out before it’s time to growl
You fish in waters shallow
My Beast, your teeth are hallow

Baby, you had me at Hell

(written 2025)

baby, you had me at hell

you synthesize conversations
my feet in the best positions
I can pace the Talladega in my M3 
you don’t question that
I’m conquering the bench 
you won’t let me consult the masses
But I’m answering the questions
so get your hand off the gear
I think I’ll take it from here

I can slow down to 30
You’re flirting with 23
Fuck you
I know my stuff too
universal energy 
isn’t as easy as it seems
I use Chat GPT
but Babe That Doesn’t Mean You Know More Than Me

this isn’t hard to grasp
keep your hands on the wheel’s all I can ask
do you think you can shoot the gap
not in your car babe you're lagging
you can’t pace the Talladega
right behind you I became a
better teammate I gave ya
all the best lines but you still can’t explain a
concept I could google the name of
your ego cannot sustain the 
state of your shit survey of 
our debate you no longer face
Because my degree can stay the 
Course you didn’t study
I can’t help it babe if you don’t agree
But our sun isn't dying 
No need to mark the calendar
It’s not a need babe but

I’m the solver
I’m the solver it’s me
I’m the solver it’s me

I can slow down to 30
You’re still flirting with 23
Fuck you
I know my stuff too
I can use Chat GPT
Doesn’t mean you know more than me
Doesn’t mean you know more than me
Doesn’t mean you know more than me
