Lyrics:

Six legs, tippy tappy toes
Climbing to the podium on Sunday
Now, it remains a dream, a distant memory
That itches my brain

Struck a nerve
That’s absurd
I remember when I felt my house was made of sandpaper
That's enough living rough for a lifetime
Looking back for a pass

Take it from me
I’ve lost my mind

Six legs, tippy tappy toes
Climbing to the podium on Sunday
Now, it remains a dream, a distant memory
That itches my brain
Six legs, tippy tappy toes
Climbing to the podium on Sunday
Now, it remains a dream, a distant memory
That itches my brain
Now, it remains a dream, a distant memory
That itches my brain

Let me lay it down for you
It seems so simple
I’m happy that I’m just under six feet, not six feet under
Where are your hands? No wonder

Take it from me
I’ve lost my mind
Take it from me
I’ve lost my mind

Six legs, tippy tappy toes
Climbing to the podium on Sunday
Now, it remains a dream, a distant memory
That itches my brain
Now, it remains a dream, a distant memory
That itches my brain

I feel stuck in a memory
Scratching my itch, who would I be?
I feel stuck in a memory
Scratching my itch, who would I be?

Six legs, running down the stairs
None of them prepared for what they might see
Now there’s another face, another name to sing
I hope they’re happy

Six legs, tippy tappy toes
Climbing to the podium on Sunday
Now, it remains a dream, a distant memory
That itches my brain
Now, it remains a dream, a distant memory
That itches my brain
Now, it remains a dream, a distant memory
That itches my brain

Six Legs (tippy tappy toes)

Never Blue - Maggie Jean Martin

To the water Father Finlee walks 
Hardly bothered by the ten-pound lock 
‘Round his ankles, every step he takes 
Heaven’s angels tremble in his wake 

Never seen a wall so high, 
Watch dogs around the clock 
Guards at every corner 
(And they don’t bother calling the coroner) 
Once a man gets locked inside 
He’s here ‘till the reaper knocks 
Or so they thought, till they saw one night
That man escape, and to this day
Every inmate knows his name

To the water Father Finlee walks 
Hardly bothered by the ten-pound lock 
‘Round his ankles, every step he takes 
Heaven’s angels tremble in his wake 

Legend has it he was raised in an attic 
Mom and dad could barely afford the same pattern 
Of asylum after asylum, praying to Poseidon 
To keep the darkness outside of him; CLASSIC
They say he never muttered a word 
Until the crucifix around the neck of a corrections officer 
Caught his eye, he said “My oh my, 
I think I just found my ticket out of Hell on earth.” 

To the water Father Finlee walks 
Hardly bothered by the ten-pound lock 
‘Round his ankles, every step he takes 
Heaven’s angels tremble in his wake 




It only takes a week or two 
To break a god-fearing man 
Ease him in with the smalltalk 
(And then plant ideas ‘till his ears fall off) 
Finlee played that guard like a fiddle 
Turned his own fears into a homing missile 
“Father, can you save my soul…” 
“First you gotta bring me a little C4”

Bang flash - take an educated guess 
How the blast didn’t singe a single hair on his chest 
He just stands in the rubble, beneath the floodlights 
When despite the chains on his feet and weak muscles 
He walked off, spawned a generation of knock-off 
Fanatics who got caught claiming they was raised in the attic 
To follow in the steps of a priest 
Who traded his fate for the depths of the sea 

Feet hurt, hands are dirty 
Warden said supper ends ‘round 5:30 
But I don’t think we need to 
Save him a seat tonight

To the water Father Finlee walks 
Hardly bothered by the ten-pound lock 
‘Round his ankles, every step he takes 
Heaven’s angels tremble in his wake

Dress Like A Pirate - stream -> https://linktr.ee/madilynmei

lyrics:

what if i woke up and decided
i wanna dress like a pirate

i’m pretty tired of folding clothes
every day down at target

well maybe someday ill sail the sea
glad i woke up to write this song
if it makes me enough money
i’ll be gone gone gone gone gone

don’t wanna spread any hate
or do much plunderin to ya
just wanna map that may or may not
lead me to buried moola

oh i blame it all on my dad
he’d always urge me to play along
makin movies in the backyard
oh my heart is too far gone

well maybe someday ill sail the sea
be the hero of my own tale
if i die before then maybe
i’ll reincarnate as a whale

where’s the green flag
where’s my go head
wanna do something
crazy before i’m dead
lotsa red flags
i’m ignoring them
don’t need a ship
guess a raft would be alright instead
just get me out of here
just get me out of here

one day i woke up and decided i wanna dress like a pirate
i’m pretty tired of folding clothes every day down at target

well maybe someday ill sail that sea
be the hero of my own life
if it makes me enough money
i’ll finally quit my 9-to-5

well just you watch ima sail that sea
glad i woke up to write this song
when it makes me enough money
ill be gone gone gone gone gone
gone gone gone gone gone
gone gone gone gone gone
gone gone gone gone gone

Jesse Dill’s adventure as Scrawny began as an excitement and energy around creating fresh pop music. After taking piano lessons at a young age, Dill taught himself over 11 different instruments, including guitar, bass, drums & ukulele. Any spare dollar would go towards new instruments and audio equipment so he could begin producing and developing his own style and sound. 

Bullied as the “scrawny” kid growing up, Dill embraced the name rather than giving it power, and now uses it as inspiration behind his music. Focusing on mental health, self-care, and finding worth within, Dill hopes his songs will feel like a helping hand to anyone who needs one.

Largely influenced by the music of The Beach Boys, The Beatles, Coldplay, AJR, Jon Bellion, and Twenty Øne Pilots, Scrawny tracks remain inherently pop, while incorporating aspects of folk, alternative rock, hip-hop, and electronic music.
