The New Normal
When I was hanging with Kanye
And I’m too hood for the sofa
I bought four guitars
That’s my cure for the Rona
Finally I’m sober
I got my first manicure
I’m kinda insecure but we both have masks
So it’s ironic I tipped ‘em 40 percent
They probably think I’m gay
But that’s ok because I hate myself so much
Yeah fuck your new normal
I give you your normal
You’re tasting the new normal
I got waxed again for confidence
I work out because I’m a skinny bitch
I gave up because I hate myself
I write songs because there’s nothing left
I’m given no purpose
And I’m an outsider
A conspiracy theorist
I’m screaming on the inside
It all makes sense I’m sad
It wasn’t supposed to be like this
The new normal
Yeah fuck your new normal
I’ll give you this new normal
Yeah suck on this new normal
I could never be seduced by the culture
Who would love to die on their own
Picked apart by the vultures
Sneak off and do the dirt in the dark
The ladies dance in the light
I hate the part where I hate myself
And the part I play doesn’t fit so well
I should have just phoned it in
Next time I’ll skip the audition
Nothing makes sense anymore
I’m tired
I’m just a speck in the universe
The new normal
Yeah fuck your new normal
You can suck my new normal
I’ll give you this new normal
Fuck your new normal

Respect The Witches
She got a gun with a vanity skin
Look at all her vinyl
She’s dressed in black
Covers her face with Satan
Make you real uncomfortable
She said I’m staying the night
But I can’t leave in the morning
It’s one or the other
You can’t have it both ways
She talks like an Angel
But she won’t let you pray
Well you pose like a gangster
You put up a front
And I know that your bikini is on fire
Drew out the circle
Calling them down
Witching is something I respect now
It’s one or the other
You can’t have it both ways
You pass for an angel
But you’re falling to prey
You’re a smooth operator
You’re so smooth when you shave it
Cool when we make out
Smooth when you shave it
Don’t ever stop
You’re so smooth when you shave it
Kiss me with reason
Kills me to leave it
Don’t ever stop
You’re a smooth operator
Smooth when you shave it
Smooth when you’re posing wearing nothing at all
Don’t you ever stop
You’re so smooth when you shave it
You’re so smooth
It’s one or the other
You can’t have it both ways
She walks like an angel
But she’s failing to pray
You’re a smooth operator
You’re so smooth when you shave it
Cool when we make out
Smooth when you shave it
Don’t ever stop
You’re so smooth when you shave it
Kiss me with reason
You’re so smooth when you shave it
Saving my life

Did you get all your work done?
Cynthia
Lost count of your beers under the sun
Cynthia
Have you forgot your sworn duty?
Cynthia
You got a matching bikini
You’re driving me crazy
Don’t ruin the moment
You’re making me mad
Don’t ruin the moment
You’re driving me crazy
Why can’t you forget her?
Cynthia or Lisa?
Why can’t I forget?
Cynthia
So you got the promotion
Cynthia
I saw you hitting the vape pen before you came in
Cynthia
How do you like this position?
Cynthia
You got a matching bikini
You’re driving me crazy
Don’t ruin the moment
You’re making me mad
Don’t ruin the moment
You’re driving me crazy
Why can’t you forget her?
Cynthia or Lisa?
Why can’t I forget?
Why can’t I forget?
(Don’t ruin the moment)
Can I forget?

Sun Gazer
I wish I could love you
But echos get in the way
You flaunt your Mercedes
And stay on Twitter all day
It’s always fake outrage
Replace the poison with seeds
What’s the injustice when you’re always bending the knee?
I wish I could love you
But it will never work out
You give up your freedom
You obey your TV
I wish I could love you
But it will never work out
Keep your distance
Don’t look at me
I’m falling apart
With nothing to say to you
I feel it in my bones
It triggers the cold
Another day is gone and I’m still alone
I break it apart and drive you away
Don’t ever forget how much I loved you that day
Just in case anything happens to me
I wish I could love you
But It will never work out

Birth Rain
When you’re on your own
You can feel it
When your spirit is out of sync
And your heart lost all rhythm
Prevail upon your mind
And guide you where your dreams are undisguised
Cause you never put your love on the line
You forget what it feels like to be alive
Flying across the states alone
In the moment the weather changing
Her crown is made of sugar
Good thing she walking through the rain drops
Falling through the clouds
She only calls my name when no ones around
Cause you never put your love on the line
You forget what it feels like to be alive
Why would I be the king when the kingdom is dystopian?
The sirens lost their way when the ocean sang to them
She was Queen for a day
And then she goes back to her old life to masquerade
Depression eats your soul
And the mirror shows you things you wish you never known
You never put your love on the line
Woman in chains you got left behind
Staring at you I got mesmerized
How can my eyes be free from your eyes?
A moment of bliss holding hands of time
Memories of us they beam through the sky
How can I get you out of my mind
When pictures of you they shine from the satellite
They shine from the satellite
Flying across the states alone
In a spell of a weather changing
Her headlines called me a renegade
With bitter tears of recrimination
Cause you never put your love on the line
You never put your love on the line
Moment of bliss holding hands of time
Memories of us they beam through the sky
How can I get you out of my mind?
When pictures of you they shine from the satellite
Pictures of you they shine from the satellite
How can I get you out of…
How can my eyes be free from your eyes?

The Ballad Of Prince Trebek
Give it time
Maybe God will let us go back outside
And we can run again
It’s a Sign O’ The Times when Prince died
And we cried
Purple pills
Purple Rain
No you didn’t die in vain
And I just can’t deny the way I feel inside
Here I am
Take my place behind His podium
Let me show you all the answers
To the questions you may hold
I know you wish it was so damn simple
But all that glitters isn’t Gold
I just can’t deny the way I feel inside
Cause I need you in my life and I’m learning
That you can not be with me and it’s killing
I need you in my life and I’m learning
That I can not be with you and it’s hurting me
I just can’t deny the way I feel inside
I just can’t deny

Easy Mode
I've been living on Easy Mode
I've been awoken but I'm not woke
I remember I was drinking, eating sushi at the bar
Trying to make plans for a busy rock star
And the next thing I know
We're bailing out the cruise industry
I paint you a picture of the pain that I feel
Casting a Counterspell, life is surreal
Cuz I know there's got to be something better than this
I got high before my flight out to Tennessee
I saw her standing with a guitar in hand
She said, "I've seen you online and I think you alright
Maybe later we could hook up and jam"
She said, "I like your Carly sweater but I could wear it better"
I said, "Maybe you should show me your tits"
She laughed and said, "Carpe diem slide into my DMs
Maybe later I could get you in bed"
I paint you a picture
I know that you're real
Use all of the colors from the pain I've been feeling
I know there's got to be something better than this
Can never be easy
Why would you think so?
Can never be easy to let her go
You never get what you want
You just take what you need
Just don't take it for granted
You never get what you want
Just take what you need
Don't take it for granted
I'm ready to leave
Oh babe just take me with you please
I see things differently
She said that's what she sees in me
It'll never be easy
Why would you think so?
It can never be easy to let her go
You never get what you want
You just take what you need
Just don't take it for granted
She said, "I've seen you online
but I think you're much hotter in person"
Then we should get together
Cause life is so much better in person
It can never be easy
Why would you think so?
It can never be easy
Please don't let me go
I give you what you want
I give you what you need
But don't take me for granted
I give you what you want
Give you what you need
Just don't take me for granted
I give you what you want
I give you all that you wanted
Don't take me for granted
Just don't take me for granted

Out Of The Blues
All my life it's been hard for me to say
I've been lost for words
Buried inside a youthful angst
When she looks my way
It makes my day
I come out of the blues
When she calls my name
Everything changed
I come out of the blues
Yeah she called me out of the blues
It ain't nothing waiting for you
Everything changed
Nothing's the same
I come out of the blues
Well it's true
You know it's hard for me to say
It's never been better
How did I survive in the darkest of days?
Kept my faith in the rain
And the Goddess of change
When she looks my way
It makes my day
I come out of the blues
When she calls my name
Everything changed
I come out of the blues
Yeah she called me out of the blues
It ain't nothing waiting for you
Everything changed
Nothing's the same
I come out of the blues
We come out of the blues
We gonna dance in the light
Out of the blues
We gonna dance in the light
You know I can't quite explain
How much I love the rain
All the blues wash away
There's something about you babe
When she looks my way
It makes my day
I come out of the blues
When she calls my name
Everything changed
I come out of the blues
Yeah she called me out of the blues
It ain't nothing waiting for you
Everything changed
Nothing's the same
I come out of the blues

Coffee For One
Take myself outside just to see if somethings real
Finding out how lonely I can feel
I’m out of touch when you’re not around
I’m either looking at my phone, I’m looking at the ground
I’m trying to be better
But there’s nothing worth the pressure
For the remainder I know I’m alone
Yeah I know I’m alone
I’m used to all my imperfections
And I wouldn’t pay to fix them
She said I seem perfect
And asked what was wrong with me
She said I seem perfect
And asked what was wrong with me
I told her I was selfish
Music comes before everything
I realized then nothing would click
The first lesson is to go never backwards
She said I seem perfect
And asked what was wrong with me
I said, “Baby, music comes before everything”
You swipe left too much
Your standards are too high
You get high off the wine and the weed
You should get high on life
She asked what was wrong with me
I said, “Baby, baby, baby,
Music comes before everything”
So it’s coffee for one
Waiting on coffee for one
So I drink coffee for one
Drinking in this room all alone
She asked what was wrong with me
“Baby, baby, baby,
Music comes before everything”
I’m not trying to eat
I don’t like the way I look
Not trying to sleep
I know the morning always hurts
I’m not trying to eat
I can feel I’m vanishing
I break every mirror
Cause nothing is perfect
She asked what was wrong with me
“Baby, baby, baby
Music comes before everything”
Now you know just how selfish I am
You know how I only think about myself
You know that I’m always eyeing my guitars
You know I want you to leave me alone for awhile
You know I don’t want you
Leave me alone
Baby leave me alone
Baby leave me alone

Troublemaker
I guess you caused enough pain
I guess you done your work
Now I’m moving on
Yeah I’m rolling on
Are you sad you hurt me?
Or are you glad you hurt me?
I’m moving on
You can kiss it goodbye
Or maybe you’re sorry
Or maybe you’re so sorry
That you got caught
Cause now I’m moving on
Yeah I’m rolling on
You wanna start a riot
You should really say you’re sorry
Troublemaker
She told me she was thirsty
She couldn’t quite drink enough of my blood
She never had it so good
The little troublemaker
Now she said she don’t like my teeth
A couple coffee stains? Oh please
They got chipped when I started to bleach
And now she’s doing yoga
With murder hornets on the beach
And she’s immune to everything
She will never say
I know what I’m talking about
Little girls a troublemaker
Got me living in doubt
She wanna start a riot
She keep on denying
She wanna start a riot
She gonna start a riot
You should get a siren
So you can warn others
About your past
I know you love the attention
Little troublemaker
Don’t at me in your tweets
I don’t even want a mention
Why do you still follow me?
And now she’s drunk off Riesling
At a wine bar refreshing her feed
Searching for her next victim
She will never say
I know what I’m talking about
Little girls a troublemaker
Got me living in doubt
You will never say you’re sorry
You just keep on denying
You will never let me be
Troublemaker
She wants to start a riot
She keep on denying
She wants to start a riot
