that "just got home from work" type of beat. (Available on Spotify)

I wrote the song "Course Correction" in November of 2023 for my jazz combo at Cornell. The song takes place on a small vessel in the open ocean; no land in sight on the horizon. The saxophone represents the voice of the captain, while the other instruments play the role of the ocean, waves, and weather. As this small vessel falls victim to the harsh elements, the steadfast voice of the captain rights the ship and overcomes the turbulent seas.

lyrics:

kick it into overrr drive
chuggin down a five alive
man its great the be alive
were so comfy that were killing time

i been stuck in overdrive
im not coming home tonight
told mum sleeping at a friends place
but my friend doesnt live outside of the gas station
like where am i again
im way too fried
clothes all sweaty and my hair all tied back
thought id take a walk
sometimes life get hard like a cock
blocked
on every social media
i almost dont love her
slayer tee ripped pajama pants and her converse

made me feel like a monster
fuck it ion want her
fuck it ion love her
straight to zero contact after being smothered
forgetting one another

missing from my role
man its gotta take  a toll
ion know why but
she shows no signs
of yearning of my presence in her life
goodnight
sleeps sound like everything is right

she isnt dealing with the same sleepless nights as me
got somebody else to hold her tight but

i dont care
im in overdrive
every hair
on my neck is high
every nugget in the bag in dry
in my chair all 8 hours of the whole fucking night
im grinding
like boardslide
drop clutch vroom 
im in overdrive
drift pass opps
im the coolest guy
doors got no hope so its suicide

i might leave you a note
when the time comes when i leave for my home
never felt like i belong
home gotta be somewhere in the stars so im gone

never had a friend i treat as well as my bong
still grateful just not very fond of friendship
just more shit with an ending
with my love on pending
ion got time to waste
ion got time for breaks
ion got time for snakes
or fakes or a 1 time tinder date
thats real shit
bad shit happens now i barely feel it
sad shit welcomed it help me write my lyrics
in the life limo and i dont know how to steer it
but pedal down cause

i dont care
im in overdrive
every hair
on my neck is high
every nugget in the bag in dry
in my chair all 8 hours of the whole fucking night
im grinding
like boardslide
drop clutch vroom 
im in overdrive
drift pass opps
im the coolest guy
doors got no hope so its suicide
