"Side of the Road"
Featuring Joei Razook
Produced by RiverKinn

--------------------
Joei Razook:
Where were you
When I was stuck
On the side of the road?
Tell me now
Will you be there waiting
When I get home?
Where were you
When I was stuck
On the side of the road?
Tell me now
Will you be there waiting
When I get home?

RiverKinn:
I'll be alone
When I get home
You won't be there for me
And I already know
I'm on the road
Pick up my phone
I call
But I only hear a dialtone
I told you, "leave me alone"
But I was out of my head
I need you now more than ever
As I'm falling again
So reach out and touch me
When I forget
To catch my breath

Joei Razook:
Where were you
When I was stuck
On the side of the road?
Tell me now
Will you be there waiting
When I get home?
Where were you
When I was stuck
On the side of the road?
Tell me now
Will you be there waiting
When I get home?

"Descent"
Produced by RiverKinn

--------------------
It was over in a moment
When I thought we had it all
And I don't know where to go now
You were there to watch me fall
And my descent was complimented
By the thought of you and me
And all the pain I can't prevent
You won't believe the things I've seen

Did it mean nothing?
Did it mean nothing to you?
Did it mean nothing?
Did it mean nothing to you?

It was over in a moment
When I thought we had it all
And I don't know where to go now
You were there to watch me fall
And my descent was complimented
By the thought of you and me
And all the pain I can't prevent
You won't believe the things I've seen

Did it mean nothing?
Did it mean nothing to you?
Did it mean nothing?
Did it mean nothing to you?

It was over in a moment
When I thought we had it all
And I don't know where to go now
You were there to watch me fall
And my descent was complimented
By the thought of you and me
And all the pain I can't prevent
You won't believe the things I've seen

Descent

RiverKinn
"302"
Produced by RiverKinn

--------------------
I try and describe the hurt
But I can't find the words
Is this what I deserve?
Is this what I deserve to be?
I just can't commit
But it's so hard to quit
Is this the way it is?
Is this the way it has to be?

I know what I want to say
Not how to say it
I wish it was easy
To get all this out of my head
But shit ain't as simple
As talking about all the feelings
That I don't know how to express
Now it's a problem
A blunt and a bottle
I swim to the bottom of
Out of regret
That never solve it
What did I expect?
I don't bring it up to you
Out of respect

For you
All I go through
It's all old news to you
You don't care to hear it now
Or hear about it
You don't care to hear me out
And I'm so used to it
I'm no use to you

I try and describe the hurt
But I can't find the words
Is this what I deserve?
Is this what I deserve to be?
I just can't commit
But it's so hard to quit
Is this the way it is?
Is this the way it has to be?

"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

"Hate Me If You Need To"
Featuring SpaceMan Zack
Produced by RiverKinn

--------------------
SpaceMan Zack:
I don't know
(I don't know)
What I'm doing with your heart
And it shows
(And it shows)
Everything is all my fault
I've been out here on the road
I don't think I'm coming home
You can hate me if you need to, girl
I'm a slave to all my flaws

RiverKinn:
You led me on for so long
You dragged my body by your leash
Your collar tied around my neck
You just kept suffocating me
Well I hope you enjoyed it
Watching me crawl through the dirt
Keep trying to avoid it
You'll get everything that you deserve

SpaceMan Zack & RiverKinn:
I don't know
(I don't know)
What I'm doing with your heart
And it shows
(And it shows)
Everything is all my fault
I've been out here on the road
I don't think I'm coming home
You can hate me if you need to, girl
I'm a slave to all my flaws

"It Always Causes An Issue"
Produced by RiverKinn

--------------------
I can't believe what I've said
Or what goes on in my head
I'm hanging on by a thread
(So far, it feels too far away)
I can't believe what I've done
I hate who I have become
I wish I wasn't so numb
(So far, it feels too far away)

Feeling like I'm 'bout to self-destruct
Every little thing, it stress me out
When I need you, never help me up
Easier for you to let me down
Sorry if I struck a chord
Now you shut the door
Leave me dying on the floor
Like you've done before
Gave you everything I had
But you wanted more
My head and heart still at war

I knew I'd lose it, I confess
You criticized, I tried my best
So let me put it all to rest
I need to get this off my chest

I can't believe what I've said
Or what goes on in my head
I'm hanging on by a thread
(So far, it feels too far away)
I can't believe what I've done
I hate who I have become
I wish I wasn't so numb
(So far, it feels too far away)

Raining from above
I'm drowning in your love
Draining out my blood
I guess I'm not enough
Raining from above
I'm drowning in your love
Draining out my blood
I guess I'm not enough

Try to speak
But nothing leaves my lips
I'm lying through my teeth
I try to climb
From underneath your love
You deceived me
I believe you
Never saw the ways I need you
Incomplete
I pray you lift me up

Raining from above
(Raining from above)
I'm drowning in your love
(Drowning in your love)
Draining out my blood
(Draining out my blood)
I guess I'm not enough
(Guess I'm not)

"Back To The Basics"
Produced by RiverKinn

--------------------
Get back to the basics
Iffin' I wan't it, I take it
Any day, any location
Surpass any expectation
Ain't no limit, I break it
Through with the fake shit
I can't face it
Can't get away from
The negative thoughts I'm thinking
Need a vacation
Disappear, leaving no traces
Sleeve full of aces
Y'all lack innovation
Can't keep up with the game
At the rate shit changing
Now they big-betting on me
Like Vegas
Y'all still begging for a placement
Upping these stakes, I raise it
Keep blood stains on my laces
Did it myself, no shame in it
Still came straight from the basement

Studied, then I put it into practice
Now I gotta pick a different tactic
Get it pole to pole like a magnet
Flow to make a bitch do a backflip
On the ice with the goal, I attacked it
Figured out the code, then I cracked it
Dead, but I'm dripping in the black fit
Buried in the matte black casket
Tragic

Get back, get back
Get back to the basics
Get back, get back
Get back to the basics
Get back, get back
Get back to the basics
Get back, get back
Get back to the basics

"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

"You Didn't Have Nightmares When We Were Together"
Produced by RiverKinn

--------------------
You told me sadness don't make friends
Been alone for years, so that makes sense
Thought the walls I built were my defense
Even after all this time I spent
In the isolation of my head
All the hearts I broke and rules I bent
There was something I could not prevent
Now I finally realize what you meant

I tried to hide away
From anyone that wanted to get close to me
I thought I'd be content
I know you tried to make me
See the way I fought who I'm supposed to be
At odds with now and then

Is everything fading
Right before my eyes
I never thought it'd come to this
Was I too impatient
To see through all your lies
A tragedy
I never thought that this would happen

Is everything fading
Right before my eyes
I never thought it'd come to this
Was I too impatient
To see through all your lies
A tragedy
I never thought that this would happen

I tried to hide away
From anyone that wanted to get close to me
I thought I'd be content
I know you tried to make me

"Burnout"
Produced by RiverKinn

--------------------
You watch as everything comes crashing down around me
(I can't escape)
You swept me off my feet and left me where you found me
(I can't escape)

How long do you expect me to be something that I'm not
Yet never wanted anything but honesty?
You love to claim the credit now, for everything I've got
Can't handle all your expectation haunting me

I came a long way just to die
I can't believe it's ending
I gave it all away
I can't lie
But I'm just fine pretending

I feel like I'm burning out
Just ashes in your rain
This poison helps to wash it down
I see it worsen every day
Every time I turn around
Feel like I'm followed by my shame
Beyond a shadow of a doubt
I'm sick from swallowing my pain

How long do you expect me to be something that I'm not
Yet never wanted anything but honesty?
You love to claim the credit now, for everything I've got
Can't handle all your expectation haunting me

I came a long way just to die
I can't believe it's ending
I gave it all away
I can't lie
But I'm just fine pretending

I came a long way just to die
I can't believe it's ending
I gave it all away
I can't lie
But I'm just fine pretending
