I take one up, I take one back These thoughts in my mind, fight and attack These understood statements keep holding me still The things that I tell you, boy are they shrill Why would you say, these things are bad? The truth is that I am, actually glad I stop for a second, I look around The horrible stories got you on the ground I'm very displeased for what I get I just can't help it, I often forget Why would you say, these horrible lies? The ones that keep me up all weekday night Why would you say these things are bad? The truth is that I am actually glad Why would you say these horrible lies? The ones that keep me up all weekday night

How do you know when you are done? When you now feel very useless. I have everything that I've wanted Now only if this were true Did it work for you? Did you break the wall? My only true friend is my pet cat He leaves me alone and doesn't talk much I have nothing written on this paper I guess I should now end this song. Did it work for you? Did you break the wall? Did it work for you? Have you given up?

AK: Your lack of judgement pulls me aside Proportions blown that you don't realize Uncomfortable room and tensions high Artistry aside and critics realize JK: Cuz all the people live in shame Lack of side with no one to blame No worries, can't hurry No safety, watch as everything is split in two Both: Eternal Mistrust of Friends (x4)

Every Waking Moment Is a Dream We're only happy when we close our eyes Endlessly getting up to face nightmares You're only awake when you sleep Walking mindless, until our demise Trying to, trying to fight past the tears Wishing we all feel nothing Cause like emotions God gave us Are sickening Our own mind's the only thing we trust We tried so hard And the only answer that we crave Is to sleep our life away

From my deepest gratitude and all of my regrets Never wanted to leave but They Made Me And all I ever wanted was a Single soul to tell Of my broken motions and my ride here And my possessions were all scattered through the land My only cause to continue was a Cut to radiant I can say I never wanted this Nor did I the rest I'm disordered and an empty broken shell

I Know A Guy 01:56
If we could defeat the way, away from here I only want to reface the way You can never never know If we never had a limerick To discuss a grave It's a fine~~ And they never had unnecessary sky diving lessons Falling up in another Another book just to read itself I'm only gonna find another way This is a living room. We will never find the west If we never had the truth Giving us a lovely kiss History is in the book Lessons we can kinda face We can only find our fate If we never had a truth We can never find a way We will never find the truth We will never find the west Giving us a lovely kiss History is in the book We will never a way We will never find a way If we're giving us another way

She is sick of inhibition Life is passing like a dream He is waiting on the Waitress Coffee burning as hot as steam Change as tough as magnum opus Frozen solid linearly Wait on the marble mantel Clock to hit the big 13 Don't you see it too? Lighting up the magent' sky? Opportunity is waste If we never try Show us your ability Make us art from sea to sea Lithium and Alcoholics My LSD is LCD He is waiting on his lover An era made of sex and drugs Nostalgic time we always vision Bringing feelings back to us She is waiting for her paycheck Another fuck her place to keep She has her body not for pleasure The tenderness is needle deep

I just want to be with the Kids in the Middle

about

Why am I making this album? THIS is my 'best of the box'. On this page, I have over 400 songs, but this is what I consider to be my best work. I've always wanted to make this, something I can quick reference without having to deep dive into each year's album.

Listening to these all over again, I reminisce, nostalgia for the eras come and gone, like we all do. It's impossible not to relive the places I were when I made these tracks; for God's sake, this album is 12 years in the making.

Produced everywhere from a hot and humid crawlspace in the middle of a Raleigh summer, to Covid-19 quarantine lockdown on the California Coast. I've spent thousands on different gear, tried and failed to get 'perfect' sounds per song, and somehow learned nothing about music theory, but that's the adventure of music and production. Not every song is a banger, but it presents a time in my life where I grew.

I'm making every song $1 this time, or buy the entire album for only $5!

Nobody's ever really sat down and listened to my work, so if you stumbled across this album by accident, thank you! Happy 2023!
