Jabberjaw 04:39
Loss grows. It doesn’t shrink. Because missed moments multiply and expand infinitely. Some things aren’t fixable And so I'm just ok But I’ll tell you I'm great to relieve your discomfort, that’s the game. Adrift Floating A blip in deep space In one moment it can all change Unlucky, yet charmed Sad and thankful. Happy and grieving, Still not quite believing, You won’t be around. I’m glad platitudes give you peace Because lately they just make my angry Time heals all wounds, unless it doesn’t. And I still haven't found mysticism or religion.

Cold 03:31
VERSE 1: It’s cold, It’s cold. Took some sucker punches to the chest This reality isn’t pretty It won’t end me yet But a backhoe’s at my chest And she’s diggin a pit of despair. VERSE 2: Resilient?! what’s next? Some sort of brand, new, “sick” test Louie, I’m counting on you To put pressure on the bleed PRE CHORUS: I, I’ll just get busy I, I’ll just drown it in busy I, I’ll just get busy Opportunity attacks from “friends,” Mother Hubbard, does this end? A morbid cherry on top I couldn’t have ever foreseen. I, I’ll just get busy I, I’ll just drown it in busy I, I’ll just get busy CHORUS: Is this the hopeful part? Is this where I burn it all down? Is this the hopeful part? Is this where I turn it around?

The Day 02:23
Coffee. More coffee. I should drink water. But I won’t. What’s the day got in store? I don’t know. You don’t know. We won’t know. Until we know. Not before. Lunch. Works a drag. Why’s it take all god damn dayyyy? 4 more hours until I get 4 hours to do my chores. What’s the day got in store? I don’t know. You don’t know. We won’t know. Until we know. Not before. What’s the day got in store? I don’t know. You don’t know. We won’t know. Until we know. Not before.

MANipulation 02:36
Not. My. Fault. I am just nice. Not. My. Fault. You can’t act right. It’s not my responsibility I used to blame myself Now, I’m putting the onus Where it belongs, on the shelf You are boundary crossing Like it’s your full time job Not. My. Fault. I am just nice. Not. My. Fault. You can’t act right. I will trust my instincts I won’t think twice I won’t beat myself up Wondering if I’m right And you will take responsibility for being the creep that you are And everyone around me will understand manipulation is where it starts. “You know, you’re a performer, you’re just going to have to get used to things like this.” “You really shouldn’t have been so friendly, men confuse that for an invitation.” “Someone new to the music community added you as a friend on socials and you accepted, I mean you don’t even know that person, that’s where you went wrong.”

Left to my own devices In my natural state Stay up until 3 Sleep the morning away Knitting by the fire Unclenched my jaw A year of overworking and grief I’m letting go of it all Time to breath Time for me Time to sit Time to sing We all need rest We all deserve rest We all need rest We all deserve rest
