"Spotless"
Produced by RiverKinn

--------------------
Don't hold back
Don't worry 'bout me
If it hurts, I'll live through this
Don't hold back
Don't worry 'bout me

The streetlights go out as I drive underneath them
And you once told me that must mean I have an energy inside

When you realize I don't feel the same
Will you call me out by name?

That's the way it goes
When it gets so far away
And you've been all alone
Wishing I was there
You're the one to blame
I tried to make it work
But you're too fucking proud
Turned the Mona Lisa to another face up in the crowd

The streetlights go out as I drive underneath them
And you once told me that must mean I have an energy inside

(An energy inside)
(Oh, an energy inside)

"They All Lie"
Produced by RiverKinn

NEW ALBUM JUNE 30

--------------------
Complaints disguised as my best interest
Like they'd know better now than me
Their arguments just aren't convincing
They love to tell me how to be

But they all lie
They all lie
They all lie
They all lie
They all lie
They all lie
They all lie
They all -

Complaints disguised as my best interest
Like they'd know better now than me

But they all lie

They all lie

MUSIC VIDEO:

--------------------
These labels broke and deceptive
Universal tried to buy my catalogue
The offer wasn't impressive
Had to hold and protect it
Sacrificing my integrity to eat
Felt akin to being slowly digested
She was lying when she told me
That she won't be possessive
Now I'm skating thin ice
Let the goalie deflect it
I could a Rollie to credit
I could turn a rope to a necklace
I could show you how to exercise your leverage
Fake it til you make it
But you ain't gon be respected
The game is mad selective
Yeah, I had to break my neck to get accepted
Don't believe the evidence or any dots that you connect
While you on Reddit playing internet detective
We can see the reach
Mr. Fantastic
Metal in my trenchcoat
Go-Go-Gadget
Dragged through the mud
Call me "Young Run Ragged"
Now I'm first class
I started checking my baggage
Still I got a little that I'm carrying
Staring in your face
Got a woodgrain handle on the hatchet that I'm burying
Now you missing
Mama saw your picture on the carton that her dairy in
Why'd you have to be such a contrarian?
You could've avoided the backlash
Satanistic recitations in the backmask
Two on the dash, two in the back stashed
With a backpack, Krylon spray, and a gasmask
Now I'm breathing
Picking me up for another season
Tell a pussy to give me a reason
6:11 Ephesians
Life ain't fair, and it's never even
What do you believe in?
Buddy, you a buster and a fake
Corny motherfucker and a flake
Your parents told me you were a mistake
I would tell you that you need to take a look inside the mirror
But I know that motherfucker finna break
Seven years bad luck
(Seven years bad)

"Cave In"
Produced by RiverKinn

--------------------
I thought I really had it figured out this time
I hate this thing that we've become
An avalanche inside me
All the thoughts I bury deeped
Oh God, what have I done?
I'm just another grain of sand you turned to glass
I wear your bruises on my skin
My friends all tell me that this too shall pass
But you've been stretching me so thin

I think I'm starting to cave in
I think I'm starting to cave in
I need to save me from myself
Before I burn to ashes
I think I'm starting to cave in

I thought I really had it figured out this time
Oh God, what have I done?

I think I'm starting to cave in
I think I'm starting to cave in
I need to save me from myself
Before I burn to ashes
I think I'm starting to cave in

"Living Hell"
Featuring Dan Dipso
Produced by RiverKinn

--------------------
Dan Dipso:
Thinking 'bout yourself
Bitch, I wish you well
This ain't what you thought it was
It's no fairy tale
It's a living hell
I know you don't kiss and tell
What you tell yourself
No regrets, no more breath
Now I bet you wish you left
Yeah

RiverKinn:
Yeah, I know I've been away so long
And I know the distance is hard
But I hope when you play my songs
It'll make a difference, and oh
These laurels that I rest upon
I don't know if they're weak or they're strong
Told me the last time you called
You don't like what you've seen me become

Calling me a stranger
And it's true
It's harder than you could know
A conflict I can't defuse
If only I ignore the danger and abuse
I needed water to grow
Expected more from you

Dan Dipso:
Thinking 'bout yourself
Bitch, I wish you well
This ain't what you thought it was
It's no fairy tale
It's a living hell
I know you don't kiss and tell
What you tell yourself
No regrets, no more breath
Now I bet you wish you left
Yeah

"Overstepping"
Produced by RiverKinn

--------------------
I've been acting different, I know
Yeah, I've been nervous about it
Tryna find a sense of purpose
But I doubt it
Overload
I'm overstepping
Wake up drunk on the floor
There ain't no easy way around it
Now I can't act like I ain't been here before

How did I get here?
I'm overstimulated
Try to keep my head clear
Back away slowly
You don't wanna get near
Me when I get overstressed
I can be a mess
What a slap to the face
Yeah, and maybe I deserved it
Call me out my name and
No, you wouldn't be the first
Under the impression
Everything was going perfect
Now I'm only thinking
How could it get any worse?

I've been acting different, I know
Yeah, I've been nervous about it
Tryna find a sense of purpose
But I doubt it
Overload
I'm overstepping
Wake up drunk on the floor
There ain't no easy way around it
Now I can't act like I ain't been here before

"Gwen Stefani"
Featuring Nyte Lo
Produced by RiverKinn

--------------------
RiverKinn:
So what you waiting for?
Yeah, what the fuck you waiting for?
Cus you can go from broke, indebted
To copacetic
I put that on my social credit
Yeah, I should know
What the fuck you waiting for?

Bent on self-medication
Lately, I think I've outgrown my
Sense of self-preservation
I know it's dangerous to go it alone
Day by day
I'm in my way
Trying to get around my own mistakes
Won't play it safe or take it slow
Never fade away
I'd rather overstay my welcome
Tell 'em if you never try it
Then you ain't gone ever know

So what you waiting for?
Yeah, what the fuck you waiting for?
Cus you can go from broke, indebted
To copacetic
I put that on my social credit
Yeah, I should know
What the fuck you waiting for?

Nyte Lo:
Dirty on me like I've been buried
Big blue bills lil bitch, I've been berried
Taking these risks, it's a little bit scary
This ice in my cup just might impair me
Whipping the curb
Whipping it up, no work
Keep the mask on, Jim Carey
Big ass house, Bill Murray
Yeah bitch, I'm geeked
Bitch, I'm waking up early
Popping these seals like Kirby
Dropping these deals, I'm working
And bitch you barely speak, so

RiverKinn:
So what you waiting for?
Yeah, what the fuck you waiting for?
Cus you can go from broke, indebted
To copacetic
I put that on my social credit
Yeah, I should know

"Grounding Tech"
Produced by RiverKinn

--------------------
Don't forget to breathe
Don't forget to breathe
(Five things you can see
Four things you can feel
Three things you can hear
Try to remember what's real)
Don't forget to breathe

I put it all on the line
But couldn't keep it connected
I know I'll run out of time
Before I run out of exits
Look inside
Can't heal if it ain't real
I've been staring at the wall
As the paint peels
Something about it just isn't adding up
Starting to feel like I've really had enough
Don't forget to breathe

Don't forget to breathe
Don't forget to breathe
(Five things you can see
Four things you can feel
Three things you can hear
Try to remember what's real)
Don't forget to breathe

"Lost Cause"
Featuring Four Fing
Produced by RiverKinn

--------------------
RiverKinn:
Lost cause
They told me call it a day
I press pause
To get it all out the way
I crossed off
Everything on the list, I would say
I tend to overcomplicate
And undersell it

This is what you get when you don't
Listen to the voice up in your head
Saying, "Do the right thing"
At the wrong time
And the fault's mine
I'll do anything to keep it in the red

Four Fing:
How could I feel blue when I'm with you?
I'm in paradise every day when I'm with you
Is this how it could be forever?
I'ma be there in a moment
I know you'll always be right there
And I'll never leave you hopeless
I'ma light the way and lead you there
You can't say I never cared
I was always right there

RiverKinn:
This is what you get when you don't
Listen to the voice up in your head
Saying, "Do the right thing"
At the wrong time
And the fault's mine
I'll do anything to keep it in the red
This is what you get when you don't
Listen to the voice up in your head
Saying, "Do the right thing"
At the wrong time
And the fault's mine
I'll do anything to keep it in the red

"Woodstock 99"
Produced by RiverKinn

--------------------
If peace sells
But nobody buying
What you trying to find?
People dying like it's Woodstock 99
Make your mind up
Wait in line
You can pay in time
All I know is I ain't wasting mine
If peace sells
But nobody buying
What you trying to find?
People dying like it's Woodstock 99
Make your mind up
Wait in line
You can pay in time
All I know is I ain't wasting mine

Make 'em sick 
And you can monetize the antidote
Get a clue
Keep a lead pipe, dagger, and a rope
2010
Took a safety pin to a can of Coke
Surfing on 'em
You can smell the marijuana and Banana Boat
Sunblock
Soundtrack in the back when the gun cock
Chambers in the brain being unlocked
"No Outlet" sign full of buckshot
"Have a good day" note in the lunchbox
I ain't slipping, I'm walking on roughshod
Yeah, I been about that from the jump off
Now the hunt back on, better run fox

Life is such a time waste
When I'm standing up I'm sideways
Oh
I throw your photo in the fireplace
If you could only see the look on my face
Oh

If peace sells
But nobody buying
What you trying to find?
People dying like it's Woodstock 99
Make your mind up
Wait in line
You can pay in time
All I know is I ain't wasting mine
If peace sells
But nobody buying
What you trying to find?
People dying like it's Woodstock 99
Make your mind up
Wait in line
You can pay in time
All I know is I ain't wasting mine

"Shame"
Produced by RiverKinn

--------------------
When will it end?
This dark cloud that follows me
And won't relent
I'm discouraged by
Another failed attempt
At making good on promises
I should've kept
And every crack on which I've stepped

Did it break my mother's back
To know I've contemplated that?
The only option when I feel
I can't be saved
I'm too broke to see a doctor
I still haven't met my daughter
I can't recognize the monster I became

Oh, what a shame
Oh, what a shame
That's what they'll say
The day I've had enough and
Just can't take this pain
Oh, what a shame

Oh, what a shame
Oh, what a shame
Feel like I'm going insane
Nothing to gain, yeah
No one to blame
I couldn't cope with the pain
Thought I had it all
But then I saw it all go down the drain
I've spent all this time
Alone inside my brain
I've been a prisoner of my loneliness
Always
I did it to myself again
I guess I won't change

(When will it end?)

Oh, what a shame
Oh, what a shame
That's what they'll say
The day I've had enough and
Just can't take this pain
Oh, what a shame

Oh, what a shame

(When will it end?)
