"Why Did I Even Bother"
Produced by RiverKinn

--------------------
(Yeah)

In too deep
Now I'm in too deep
In too deep
Now I'm in too deep

Yeah, I've been frustrated
Feel like I'm stuck in place
And what a waste
If aggravation all I ever come away with
It's always something, ain't it?
I'm feeling subjugated
When everybody seem to love it
But I fucking hate it
I run in circles
Every day getting harder
It feel impossible
Like I've been trying to breathe underwater
I let it go
The devil call to make me an offer
I tied the anchor 'round my ankles
And I sank to the bottom

In too deep
Now I'm in too deep
In too deep
Now I'm in too deep

In too deep
Now I'm in too deep
In too deep
Now I'm in too deep

"I Just Wanted To Keep You Accountable"
Produced by RiverKinn

--------------------
I keep on running to you
With all we've been through
You're the only one who gets me
Now that everyone left me
I got nothing to lose
You know it's the truth
So long I've been waiting
Now I'm all out of patience
And you're making me choose
Traded that life for this way
And I'm jinxed now
In my hindsight, 'til this day
I still think about
What I had with you
But what can I do?

I keep on running to you

And you're making me choose
Traded that life for this way
And I'm jinxed now
In my hindsight, 'til this day
I still think about
What I had with you
But what can I do?

Fate don't make or break us
Mostly I'm just too impatient
Think of you when I get wasted
Love with you just too contagious

Fate don't make or break us
Mostly I'm just too impatient

"Invitation To A Funeral"
Produced by RiverKinn

--------------------
Say my songs are too depressing
How the fuck you think that I feel?
Drinking won't relieve the pressure
Maybe suicide will
Rolling up a fiver just to hit another line
I know I need to cut it out
But I'm ignoring all the signs, still
I don't mean to scare you
But it's only fair to warn you
Lately I've been hearing voices
Like it's something paranormal
Sorry if my introduction
Wasn't very formal
But I'm too fucked up to care
I won't remember in the morning

If I forgot, it must not have been that important
Tried to lock away my demons
But they knocking on my door
And I've been boarding up the windows
Still I look over my shoulder
I know it's gonna happen
See it now as I get older
It was easier to write about
The clubs that I was playing
Or the bitches I was fucking
Or the drugs that I was taking
Or the crew I used to run with
Or the money I was making
Now the love I set aside
Became the one thing I was chasing

Couldn't find it waiting
I was stuck up in the basement
Every night and day
Until they put me underneath the pavement
At my funeral
I wanted her to come and give a statement
But she didn't show
I guess she wasn't up for the occasion

I know she got the invitation
Connect the dots like it's a constellation
Sentimental things I never got to say
Are more important than the shit I got away with

But know my ghost is gonna haunt you
If it's any consolation

DEAD LEAVES 3
--------------------
Joei Razook:
Running through the motions
Looking for something I might never
Come in touch with
Tell myself a little lie
So I feel okay
Everyone's been on my heels
Can't explain these things I feel
If I run from all my problems
All my problems feel less real

RiverKinn:
You couldn't look me in the eye
Now I try to put aside my pride
I need to heal this pain
So I tell a little lie
To get me by
I don't know why
I can't explain
Running from my reflection
I'm the devil on my back
So fucking sick and tired
Waiting for my final heart attack

RiverKinn and Joei Razook:
Running through the motions
Looking for something I might never
Come in touch with
Tell myself a little lie
So I feel okay
Everyone's been on my heels

All my problems feel less real

"Limit"
Produced by RiverKinn

--------------------
Drive slow, baby
Just drive slow
Throwing cigarettes out the window
And smoking another
I know what you think I don't
Both of us are staring out the window
Ignoring each other
Drive slow, baby
Just drive slow
Throwing cigarettes out the window
And smoking another
I know what you think I don't
Both of us are staring out the window
Ignoring each other

It's 3 AM
Thinking of you again
I know I can't forget you
But at least I can pretend
I think I'm doing better
But I guess that all depends
From my perspective
I expected this to end
Fuck your friends
You've been basing your opinions
Off of them
That's always been your problem
It's okay, I understand
I'm 30,000
You won't be there when I land
This wasn't my plan
But I'm doing the best I can
I-

Drive slow, baby
Just drive slow
Throwing cigarettes out the window
And smoking another
I know what you think I don't
Both of us are staring out the window
Ignoring each other
Drive slow, baby
Just drive slow
Throwing cigarettes out the window
And smoking another
I know what you think I don't
Both of us are staring out the window
Ignoring each other

Limit

Prod. Rodger

Well while you go to your hiding places
I thought I’d let you know I might not make it
I say a lie or two and no surprise they’d eat it up
But all the cuts I’ve made are dull and they aren’t deep enough

And every time that you’d run off somewhere 
I’d be the one that you’d drag to be there 
I lost the count this is surely the one hundredth time
You probably hate me now but baby won’t you come inside

You know I’m such a good for nothing ain’t that right
I saw the look you gave me dead twinkle in your eyes
It wasn’t luck but I’m sick and tired of caring bout
The things you do playing with my heart you tear it out
You know I’m such a good for nothing ain’t that right
I saw the look you gave me dead twinkle in your eyes
It wasn’t luck but I’m sick and tired of caring bout
The things you do playing with my heart

And maybe and maybe and maybe suicide
Would get us out of all the trouble holding you and I 
There ain’t no easy way to say it but I gotta go 
I wish that I could tell you everything you wanna know 
They gave a single call so of course I called you up
You told me die, go away, and that you hate my guts

You know I’m such a good for nothing ain’t that right
I saw the look you gave me dead twinkle in your eyes
It wasn’t luck but I’m sick and tired of caring bout
The things you do playing with my heart you tear it out
You know I’m such a good for nothing ain’t that right
I saw the look you gave me dead twinkle in your eyes
It wasn’t luck but I’m sick and tired of caring bout
The things you do playing with my heart you tear it out

What a Drag!

--------------------
I'm getting over you and all your moods
I would have elevated everything you do
And after all the shit we've both been through
I figured out that on our own, we'll both make due
Stay away
And give me a break
I've learned to live with my mistakes
They make me human
And isn't it great?
Now I can see it's worth the wait

On a roll
Yeah I was out of control
Lost soul
On the low
I'm sorry, I gotta go
Fade to black
Take it back
I left it all on the track
Matter'fact
I've always hated how you overreact

This song's about us both
Not just 'bout you
For once
So I can be the rubber
You're the glue
For once

I'm getting over you and all your moods
I would have elevated everything you do
And after all the shit we've both been through
I figured out that on our own, we'll both make due
Stay away
And give me a break
I've learned to live with my mistakes
They make me human
And isn't it great?
Now I can see it's worth the wait

"Medusa"
Produced by RiverKinn

I've stayed away so long
Content to hide within my home
The fire burning strong
Destroying everything I've come to own
Medusa looks at me with love
But I won't turn to stone
You must have been my perfect drug
But I'll do this alone

I've stayed away so long
Content to hide within my home
The fire burning strong
Destroying everything I've come to own
Medusa looks at me with love
But I won't turn to stone
You must have been my perfect drug
But I'll do this alone

"Last Ditch"
Produced by RiverKinn

--------------------
Pain inside
I keep running away from it all
But I can't hide
And I don't know what I expected
A waste of time
Will this be the rise or the fall?
I can't decide
I took it for granted and I paid the price

Head to the wall
Luck of the draw
Flip of the coin
Roll of the dice
I make the call
Don't get involved
I don't need your motherfucking advice

Eyes down with the card face
Small change in the long game
Right man in the wrong place
Right place on the wrong day

It's all confusing me
My thoughts consuming me inside
But opportunity don't wait

Pain inside
I keep running away from it all
But I can't hide
And I don't know what I expected
A waste of time
Will this be the rise or the fall?
I can't decide
I took it for granted and I paid the price

Head to the wall
Luck of the draw
Flip of the coin
Roll of the dice
I make the call
Don't get involved
I don't need your motherfucking advice

Eyes down with the card face
Small change in the long game
Right man in the wrong place
Right place on the wrong day
