Do you even like me?
Does it even matter?
I love myself, but
Boy you really try me
With all of your masculine identity crises

I know that I got problems
Sometimes I feed the drama
But lets be real
Can we work on getting better?
Not harping on all the shit we could have done differently 

Take it down
Take it all the way down
It’s clear this doesn’t matter

Take it down
Take it all the way down
It’s a waste of time this pattern

My intentions to be
My best self living free
Erase the split between
Potential and reality

My intentions to be
My best self living free
Erase the split between
Potential and reality

I wanna get out
I wanna grow
Let’s reroute
Won’t do it again
Baby lets grow not fall out

I wanna get out
I wanna grow
Let’s reroute
Won’t do it again
Baby lets grow not fall out

I wanna get out
I wanna grow
Let’s reroute
Won’t do it again
Baby lets grow not fall out

I wanna get out
I wanna grow
Let’s reroute
Won’t do it again
Baby lets grow not fall out

I wanna get out
I wanna grow
Let’s reroute
Won’t do it again
Baby lets grow not fall out

I wanna get out
I wanna grow
Let’s reroute
Won’t do it again
Baby lets grow not fall out

My intentions to be
My best self living free
Erase the split between
Potential and reality

Try Me

How much wine to forget about you?
How much space to scrub myself anew?
If it’s desire you want, desire you get
I’m practically begging, I know I’ll regret it

How much flower to cloud you out?
How many hits, I’m not fooling around 
If it’s desire you want, desire you get
I’m practically begging, I know I’ll regret it

I should go to bed (I should go to bed)
Or write this shit down (or write it down)
Either way, I won’t call (no, I will not call)
Unless you’re around (unless you’re around)

(unless you’re around)

Open enrollment, first three months free
You said you’d show up, but you couldn’t, timing
Here I am now buzzed and alone
With the same boring story I have failed to dethrone 

It’s kinda dumb, obsessing like this
What’s the point? Inspiration I guess
Here I am now buzzed and alone
With the same boring story I have failed to dethrone 

I should go to bed (I should go to bed)
Or write this shit down (or write it down)
Either way, I won’t call (no, I will not call)
Unless you’re around (unless you’re around)

(unless you’re around)

I got this darker side to me
You symbolize release
I got this darker side to me
You symbolize release

I should go to bed (I should go to bed)
Or write this shit down (or write it down)
Either way, I won’t call (no, I will not call)
Unless you’re around (unless you’re around)

(unless you’re around)

How much wine to forget about you?
How much space to scrub myself anew?
If it’s desire you want, desire you get
I’m practically begging, I know I’ll regret it

Go To Bed

Third times a charm,
That why you disappeared?
Couldn’t touch the warmth,
Maybe that’s why it’s been years
Maybe that’s why it’s been years
Maybe that’s why 

I been waiting 
Wanna come
Staying up late feeling numb
Check my phone a million times
I can taste the sweet divide

It’s the worst in the morning
I need a hit by the afternoon
Almost forget in the evening
But in the late night you come through

It’s the worst in the morning
I need a hit by the afternoon
Almost forget in the evening
But in the late night you come through
Through
Through

What’s longing
But piles of unsaid thoughts
Stored in memory
Say you up baby hit that spot
Say you up baby hit that spot
Say you up baby hit that

I been waiting 
Wanna come
Staying up late feeling numb
Check my phone a million times
I can taste the sweet divide

It’s the worst in the morning
I need a hit by the afternoon
Almost forget in the evening
But in the late night you come through

It’s the worst in the morning
I need a hit by the afternoon
Almost forget in the evening
But in the late night you come through
Through
Through

It’s the worst in the morning
I need a hit by the afternoon
Almost forget in the evening
But in the late night you come through

It’s the worst in the morning
I need a hit by the afternoon
Almost forget in the evening
But in the late night you come through
Through
Through

647AM

I been getting up early
Tryna to make plans, make plans
(Tryna make plans)
Focusing all my attention on me, yeah
Focus on me, uh
(Focus on me) 
Normally I talk too much
Normally, normally
(I talk too much)
This time Imma drop that crutch
Imma drop, Imma drop
(Drop that crutch)

Takin’ action, it’s the tip that I been on
Like do the thing before the fear distracts you, gone
It might be bad, but its the baddest of the bad that you can be
Cause you’re tryin’ (you try)

Ooo
Sunset sippin’
Water drippin’ 
Ooo
Big cliff jumpin’
Speed boat bumpin’ 

I been getting up early
Tryna to make plans, make plans
(Tryna make plans)
Focusing all my attention on me, yeah
Focus on me, uh
(Focus on me) 
Normally I talk too much
Normally, normally
(I talk too much)
This time Imma drop that crutch
Imma drop, Imma drop
(Drop that crutch)

Don’t need no favors, got my highest self to lean on
She’s really focused, but can hang ’til the break of dawn
I used to worry, but now I don’t need to worry about a thing
Cause I’m tryin’ (you try)

Ooo
Sunset sippin’
Water drippin’ 
Ooo
Big cliff jumpin’
Speed boat bumpin’ 

I been getting up early
Tryna to make plans, make plans
(Tryna make plans)
Focusing all my attention on me, yeah
Focus on me, uh
(Focus on me) 
Normally I talk too much
Normally, normally
(I talk too much)
This time Imma drop that crutch
Imma drop, Imma drop
(Drop that crutch)

Focusing all my attention on me, yeah
Focus on me, uh

Normally I talk too much
Normally, normally

This time Imma drop that crutch
Imma drop, Imma drop

Do The Thing

the tunnel + the light

an album about finding your freedom and all of the distractions along the way. it's ok to be messy. the point is to learn and love and care and accept yourself through it. the point is to grow. to find your freedom. to create. to be. 

listen when you feel alone. when you're moving through something big and in need comfort. when you feel yourself start to self destruct. when you're too far gone. when you're ready to lift yourself up and break old patterns. when motivation and inspiration feel like medicine.

Most of all, listen when you wanna vibe out to the human experience. Thanks for being here.
