Verse 1
You’d pop a wheelie, pop some pills
Chaos fueled your midnight thrills
You’d stay clean for a while, but the craving would grow
You’d take a hit thinkin’ nobody else would know
I was so afraid I’d find your body cold

Spoken:
We had been apart for years
And you seemed really good, actually.
Then I could tell something, something was wrong

Prechorus:
I saw you had no new posts 
I saw no new photos
 
Chorus:
I heard your
seat was empty, your phone went dead, your
lights went out while you were still in bed

I heard your
Dog stayed right by your side, but your roommate didn’t make it back in time
All that’s left of you now
Are ashes on the ground

Verse 2:
No one knew what to say 
Or how to write your obituary
They said your life had been all in vain
And buried your memory along with their pain
Like you never lived a single day 
It’s like you never lived a single day 

Prechorus 2
Cause 
I can’t see your old posts
I can’t see your old photos

Chorus:

I heard your
seat was empty, your phone went dead, your
lights went out while you were still in bed

Suno rendition of complete human song draft.

Ashes on the Ground

I was so lost in my head 
Reacting to the stories I told myself
Like watching my life on a big screen
Looking for the next slight of hand or tragedy 

One day I woke up inside
I started making my own life
One day you joined me by my side
You broke my guard; the old me died 

I need you to love me like you do
Build me up, take down my walls
Hold me as the sky falls
Love me the way you do
I need you

Before they’d tell tales and they’d seep in
I would freeze up and lose my way again

the world is cold, but in our home
I melt in your arms at the door
The sun will rise, the moon will glow
When I need light, you will show 

I need you to love me like you do
Build me up, take down my walls
Hold me as the sky falls
Love me the way you do
I need you

Build me up

Build me up, take down my walls
Hold me as the sky falls
Love me the way you do
I need you

I Need You

Verse 1
He’s real fly
Home slice, no lie, don’t hide his
Fem’nin side
He don’t front; he opens up to
Get real tight
He knows it’s dope to go for
A good cry, yo

You’re gonna know how hard he’s tryin’
Not to be a macho guy and

He’s so fresh and he’s all that
He’s da bomb and lookin PHAT, it’s

Chorus
90’s man
He’s real chill
It’s 90s man
Got home skill
It’s 90’s man
It’s 90’s man
It’s 90’s man
It’s 90s man
It’s 90s man

Verse 2
He will listen
For sho, you know that’s dope when
Kickin’ it (word)
Face to face, no racin’, middlin’
Minute shit
My aunt flow don’t make him go, he’s
Into it

I’m all about his manscapin’
It’s metro sex, y’all, don’t be hatin’

When I need to get attention 
I will be straight up gen-x-in

Bridge:
(He’s all that and a bag of chippy-chippy-yahaha)
I’m so into him (homie, homie, homie)
It’s 90s man (homie)
It’s 90s man

Chorus
It’s 90’s man
He’s so chill, he’s got skill
It’s 90s man
He’, got skill, the real deal
It’s 90’s man

It’s 90’s man
It’s 90’s man

90s Man

Verse 1
As I feel the beat, the meter is changin’
I’m facing the music, but it’s not my station
Airing crazed improvisation 

The world needs a rest, the harmony’s gone 
I’m caught in the noise as it fails to resolve 
Sometimes I want to cut the tape here

Prechorus [spoken]
I didn’t plan it, but now you’re comin’
Bringing you into the world right now is gonna be somethin’
There’s so much I can’t control, but I'll tell you one thing:

Chorus
Baby, I got you
Life is not all blue
I got you

Baby, I got you
So I’m gonna play it through
I got you

Verse 2
Mom and pop amped the fever pitch
Their tone grows like a chronic itch
As it swells, how can we switch now?

We’ve been dissonance stuck on a loop
Seems out of my range to do better with you
To find the key, I’ll change my tune now

Prechorus [spoken]
They said they acted out of love, but I don’t buy that 
And just avoiding their mistakes isn’t gonna cut it
Cause I want to build you up- this home is your tonic

Chorus
Baby, I got you
Life is not all blue
I got you

Baby, I got you
So I’m gonna play it through
I got you

Bridge
The king of the hill will drone in semitone chatter
But as we rise up, his pitch is gonna get flatter
Didn’t we say “never again”? Never, Never
So he can’t stay rambling up there forever

I got you

Verse 1
You were in the store by a crowd
Then you smiled; it knocked me out
Did you notice me
You brushed my arm as you went by
I tried to speak, but I’m too shy 
Did you notice me

Prechorus
I want to capture your attention
So I’ll place an ad in the missed connections

Chorus
By the deli ‘bout 5 on Tuesday
You really caught my eye
You may not see this posting
But if you do, 
Please reply, please reply, please reply

Verse 2
You are my type; I can tell
With ripped jeans; you wear ‘em well
Did you notice me
I’m 5 foot two; your shirt was green
I’m brunette; you’re a dream
Did you notice me

Repeat Prechorus and Chorus

Bridge
Your five o’clock shadow was lookin’ sexy
You ordered turkey just like I did
And now your stuck in my brain oh

Repeat Prechorus and Chorus

Please reply

He’s still as a photograph
Stuck on her, his lesser half
She’ll take his breath
All he’s got left
Love him to death
She’ll take his breath
All he’s got left
Love him to death

She will heal him, take away his pain
Pour his tonic as he falls again  
She will love him in her own way
Stand by him, have his back as he fades away
Make him stay
Make him stay
Make him stay

She’ll collude in his decay
To keep him there one more day
She’ll take his breath
All he’s got left
Love him to death
She’ll take his breath
All he’s got left
Love him to death

She will keep him in her clutch
Pour his tonic as he self-destructs
She will love him in her own way
stand by him, have his back as he fades away 
 make him stay
make him stay
make him stay

Make Him Stay

Our red Catty is kinda rattly
Neith her blue hood today (oh no)
We’ll float that boat til she’s broke
Then call us some triple A(fix it)

That old car can’t get too far
Can’t go on a vacay (oh no)
I’ll paste my face to Space Mountain
And frame that holiday (how sad)

Inside we’ll freeze; we cut the heat
Cause we could not pay (oh no)
I’ll get cozy on the floor
I sleep there anyway

I’m poor, whatever
It’s not forever
I will do better 
Some day

I may be stuck now
When I’m grown I’ll
Build my future
Pave a road there
Make my own way

My big sis; she grew real quick
I wear her clothes today (oh no)
pants in a pile sweep the tile
That’s my style, okay? (okay)

I’ll be cool when I’m at school
Stitchin tags to a fake (oh no)
But cheap jeans and jacked up teeth
Are givin’ me away (uh oh)

I break my arm down on our farm
And it’ll stay that way (oh no)
I re-break that thing and make a sling
To save us a co-pay

Crackers each day at lunch (oh no)
Glued up shoes on broken parts (fix em)
One happy meal for 3 of us (how sad)
Declined cards, abandoned carts

They’re giving me away
Givin’ me away
They’re givin’ me away, hey hey hey

I need you- work tape
