Why are people good Why listen to should I’d stay lost if I could Wild one in the wood I don’t want to be found out here The depths of hell draw near The Wolf with the evil eye He let me go I asked him why The Wolf grinned in reply Evil is what money can’t buy

Shadow 02:12
What follows me always Scars without praise Head-started wild blaze A season not a phase I will hold you like shade You will not fade Her eyes jade They switch on like a blade I hold back like a hack saw My love is jagged and raw I am greeted like an outlaw You’re a cathedral; I stand in awe A shadow swallows me again Sunbeam let me in

Your mixtape got all fucked up ok It came streaming out and won’t play It sat in my car with nothing to say I tried to rewind but this was the day She doesn’t have a name Or a frame She lives in fame I live in shame And infamy with blame I remember when you sang Threw back your hair insane The song too bad to explain It was perfectly lame I tried to get the hang A word in the long game I remember the candles’ flame Siren in my bath I claim I don’t know what we became I wrote you a song Meant to sing along Maybe I’m wrong To long To belong I’m headstrong I guessed wrong Sketch drawn A mess drawn Wet lawn Electron No dress on Have sex on What whoever gets on Whatever’s best on It kept on An affect on I reflect on The next dawn Vexed blonde

I think my girlfriend broke up with me We need to talk, I said I agree It didn’t take all this time to see I remember I used to dream in we Fuck that bitch She left me in a ditch Swear jar full She was push not pull I say what I want So put it in your favorite font My debutante Was radio play that was nonchalant Yeah I’m a savant I don’t flaunt But I’m global and you’re not And I don’t drop it when it’s hot But you can pick up the mic I’ll drop You never cared a lot You hung up a flower pot And said this is what I got And occupancy is all you brought I wasted a slot And forgot How the plot Got caught In a life of finding a g-spot To never tie a knot To the tune of I hope I get shot Thanks for the backdrop Blacktop I hit the jackpot The crack rock I’m just a crackpot And you’re the bad cop Not my mascot You add up Man doch Ok here’s the part where I go off You’ll blow off Won’t throw my flow off But I’m glad you broke off No loss I was towed off Hosed off You closed off Dozed off I think you used to be soft I think I used to be lost I lost you but had you at what cost I wrote you songs with fingers crossed You just tossed Why bother making it across Here are my thoughts Stop texting your mom God damn the fuck you talk about for so long Mommy is visiting, have to read from psalm Can’t talk til she’s gone See you when she isn’t stuck on 41 year old going strong To find each button of mine to mash on Acting a fool, per lil John Is there a burn your shit emoticon I’m too old for tinder maybe Match.com I already cheated and moved on Two years ago I was already gone I’m bipolar I know it’s hard But you’re a fucking lame ass for playing that card For leaving me in the fucking junkyard My problems hurt you, well Jesus fuck Wanna know who else is out of luck I found myself stuck Looking for someone not waving down a dump truck Who was there for me when it went downhill After you moved and pretended it was ok still A state line breaks you apart and always will I just kept getting another pill I’m bipolar but I rebuild You left me alone; you were unfulfilled How many conversations have you killed By feeding me guilt For my wilt I got a head tilt And here’s another thing too Fuck you On Instagram when I’m on the phone with you You don’t give a fuck what I have to say Probably texting your mom anyway She makes you hate yourself for being gay Praise Jesus and all that mindless decay Hearsay Okay Hate me all day But she still won’t answer to hey Couldn’t tell her about my music, she didn’t care That’s all I do, so it’s all I’d share But whatever, I forget she’s no longer there I am free now from warfare I’m starting a new life elsewhere She’ll never hear this song; she’s not aware I loved her once, but truth not dare My lover broke my heart, this didn’t compare

Scarecrow 02:58
Straw, woman made of straw I scare away people I draw My songs sting like a saw The crows on my shoulders claw Autumn left me torn apart Time told and broke my heart If you only had a brain My hatred sits in a gas main I am alone and I feign A soul that’s easy to tame My songs are seeds I keep alive You can never begin to deprive Through warm storms I survive Fear me, fear me I thrive

Gum Tree 02:21
I found myself jaded The dawn had faded My life was raided Could I have made it God damn motherfuck Lightening struck Twice and I’m out of luck Roll the dice Pay the price You’re fucking stuck I won’t pretend There was an end A single friend I still must mend I didn’t do anything Not envying Them being Emptying Their well being Rest seeing Someone else bleeding I fell weeping Farewell meeting Self healing Help seeking Held feeling Im up a tree reeling Fate was sealing Hurt is revealing I’m unappealing They’re double-dealing Concealing I need another feeling

Axe 02:28
Hack me for what I’m worth I am not of this earth I am a ghost of rebirth The dirt is my turf I am cut like a drug Snug in a hole I dug Oh fuck your little axe I am the needles in haystacks I’ll haunt you like a death tax I’ll chip at the root of your cracks

Whiskey for the wound Life is coming soon You ramble with a tune Fly a lead balloon I lay down on the floor What were my tattoos for I can’t see myself anymore Eyes are not a window but a door I learned to drive home from a crash I learned to love myself from a gash I learned to make fire from ash I quit wishing on an eyelash

California 02:14
I’ve been to California two times It crosses my mind sometimes Scared georgia girl on delta airlines Near the hills blew past the road signs I want to be the season that shines California dreamin California sunbeamin More like odd from even Where I can’t keep in I never sleep in The ocean you could freeze in I heave in December never leavin I need something to believe in LA traffic took me nowhere Fuck that place and whatever is there Always in the car, so I’m unaware Fuck LAX, what a fucking nightmare All that shit is overrated; they don’t care I guess I wouldn’t know so that’s not quite fair A big city can make you no one, I’m aware You don’t get what you pay for; you get your share In California you don’t get shit but a glare I went to San Francisco and disintegrated I had been baited It’s beauty was understated I went to the forest and felt naked This was somewhere sacred Time passed and the redwoods had waited The difference between timeless and outdated The world was shaded I wondered if I’m fated To fall with a storm jaded While the days just faded Should I have traded Another life for this one that was raided I want to grow up like I wasn’t created To become a native To a life I’d like to age in Where I never have to break in Again and again Like she don’t know who she is And what happened to this The things I’m going to miss Sit in my house on the hill and reminisce I want to touch the sky Like I didn’t have to try Because I’ve grown so high I want a retry I want another battle cry Life is better when you ask why Don’t let yourself run dry People just hum by Or are gridlocked in LA like an alibi One day the redwoods will all die And when I go I hope by and by The world will also shrink in reply

Little Redwood The wood The hood Dark but good Trees tall If it were to fall Would they hear my call I no longer see red at all I stood itty bitty small Not lost just AWOL I know I am as strong They sawed all along Life is a saw like a song I got the words wrong They said I don’t belong No I don’t and I’m gone I found a better dawn Wet grass on a lawn I found a seed to feed on And I grew to a great height They tried with all their might But I still stand and I still fight Little redwood in the right I am rooted with all my might There’s a story I rewrite I am the Wolf the Wolf had me swallowed I am the redwood who stands hollowed I made my own path; I never followed Little redwood grew up She is a far view up
