I’m goin’ down,
tell everyone around you
I wanna burn, 
but maybe I’m just fadin’
Collect my sins, 
I bottle up and drink it
The weekend bliss,
Is strengthening my weakness

I’m breaking walls,
Get ready for the new you
Cuz I’m so gone,
Impressed how I’m so depressed 
I got some help, 
But when they look so helpless
I wanna kill,
My instincts understand this

Society don’t like 
the way I breathe
It’s fine with me,
cuz I just do my thing
You wanna know? 
Swallow my self esteem
I’m goin’ down
I’m goin’ down

I’m goin’ down,
But never on the south side
There’s nothin’ there,
But emptiness and nightmares
They follow me,
To catch the scent of your hair
I love the chase,
You wouldn’t give you weren’t there

Society don’t like 
the way I breathe
It’s fine with me,
Cuz I just do my thing
You wanna know?
Too late I’m done with me
We’re goin’ down
We’re goin’ down

If I was good, 
We wouldn’t have to fix me 
To fix myself
I have to break another
I don’t take pride,
But any other measure
Would never do,
The pleasure fixed it much better

I’m goin’ down town now
You don’t have to meet me there trust me
I’m a product of last night
Overcompensating for something
Ain’t that why we chill for sunrise...

I’m goin’ down
Tell everyone around you
I wanna burn,
So there’s no need to fade it...

I'm Going Down (84k on Spotify)

Songs Of Praise... an episode of a past life, blending screwed up circumstances, the loss of human connection, an almost fatal amount of loneliness and downward spirals, and using the opposite sex as a scapegoat for better and for worse.
Glad we made it.

"And on and on,
And off and on,
And off we got to go propose and sing,

Sing songs of praise
Of the loneliest days
So don't come running my way
After you put on that ring
You won't get sympathy 
From me girl

So if you see him ooh
Would ya tell him for me" [...]

Crystal C O A S T L I N E, is a song loosely about driving the PCH in California, and how at one point I associated driving the scenic route with something equivalent to peace amidst some of the rougher times spent living there. The chorus is sunny and crystalline, blasting waves of energy; where as the verses (to be heard upon release) are darker, night-like with fog, lights, and steam rising from gutters. The whole song is riddled with fragmented details a life of beauty and misery, and what was built from from that life.

" Driving through the crystal coastline
Wouldn't ever miss the ocean nah
So why don't ya move over now
Cuz I can't relapse you
So why don't ya move over now
Cuz I can't get past you

Fine,
I needed to rewind
I lost my track of time
I took forever to
Get this out to you"  [...]

Crystal C O A S T L I N E (teaser) | OUT DECEMBER 3RD

Lyrics:

They never could pass me
I’m stuck in the past
Aspire to be who
Is gone in a flash
My spirit's a potion
I can’t find the cap
I’m lovin' the motion
When you're bent over back
You killing me softly
And I could collapse
So where did I go wrong
I dropped out of class
I’m talking bout college
 Get ya get ya get ya facts
Was basically homeless
 Great at getting nowhere fast
And mind you I been driving 

Driving through the crystal coastline
Wouldn’t ever miss the ocean no
So why don’t you move over now 
‘Cause I won’t relapse you
So why don’t you move over now
‘Cause I can get past you
Fine I needed to rewind
I lost my track of time
I took forever to
Get this out to you
And I’m knowing what to do
And it takes me back to 
When I wasn’t 
When I wasn’t fine

I’m sellin’ dysfunction 
So send me a line
My friends say you function 
 But I can’t picture livin’ lies
Think I might blow up
Been blowin’ some minds
I ain’t here to grow none
I don’t got the time
I’m losing myself easy 
(Easy)
And over my head
I’ll never let go believe me
(Leave me)
I’m better off dead
I feel like a burnout
We done it so fast
And I’m bout to go down
Tell all of yo friends,
And mind you I been driving

Driving through the crystal coastline
Wouldn’t ever miss the ocean
So why don’t you move over now 
‘Cause I won’t relapse you
So why don’t you move over now
‘Cause I can get past you
Fine I needed to rewind
I lost my track of time
I took forever to
Get this out to you
And I’m knowing what to do
And it takes me back to
When I wasn’t 
When I wasn’t fine

Oh I had some dog days
Lived in a garage
With fleas and the garbage
I’m coming so far
Since driving the sunset
And sleeping in cars
Avoiding the high beams
They know where you are 
 And mind you it’s been a while
Since living the downtown
Without an address
Concussive ‘n crashed it
My whip was a wreck
So I took a flight out
 Sold all my things, ya I had to jet
Been stuntin’ back home for
 All of you that rep the west

Driving through the crystal coastline
Wouldn’t ever miss the ocean
So why don’t you move over now 
‘Cause I won’t relapse you
So why don’t you move over now
‘Cause I can get past you
Fine I needed to rewind
I lost my track of time
I took forever to
(Took forever to)
Get this out to you
And I’m knowing what to do
And it takes me back to 
When I wasn’t
When I wasn’t fine-e-e-e

Crystal C O A S T L I N E

Now we all shall

Sing songs of praise
Of the loneliest days
In such a typical way she casts a shadow on everyone she meets
And it hits me

These girls won't dance with me
Because they're angry that they married to early
I won't take back the things
That I say just because the truth always stings
Some want some kinda fling
But girl I can't get in front of ya ball and chain
I'm running out of thoughts
On how to choose the words we use to keep the rhythm on

And on and on and off and on and off we go to go propose and sing

Sing songs of praise 
Of the loneliest days
If love is caught in the rain I'm burning up and down
Drowning in my flame 
And it hits me

I question all I am
Never knew I needed you to feel like a man
I'd almost pay for it
But before I couldn't see myself saying this
I'd do the best I can
But when my best gets worse need a brand new plan
I'm running out of thoughts 
On how to choose the words we use to keep the rhythm on

And on and on and off and on and off we go to go propose and sing

Sing songs of praise
Of the loneliest days
So don't come runnin' my way after
You put on that ring
Y'won't get sympathy
From me girl

If you see him mhm
Would ya tell him for me
That on a whim hmm you won her
But if you think that I'm over
It's not over you're mistaken boy
So put a ring around it
Put a ring around it
Put a ring around her finger
I'll sing

Sing songs of praise
Of the loneliest days
If love is caught in the rain I'm 
Burning up and down
Drowning in my flame
In such a typical way
Such a typical way she
Casts a shadow on
Casts a shadow on top of me
And it and it
And it hits me
