Clueless 03:29

No end in sight Wow, how you still try How can you be so clueless, oh, so wrong? How can you be so sure when everything around you just crumbles down? Your circus lost its clowns The rumour's making the rounds Why do you drive yourself into the ground? I never thought this side of you would come to life It wasn't a long time ago we were on the same side You like to run things, be in control But who will take the helm when all The crew around you is long gone and the ship's caught in the storm The truth's no match for your ego I'll just keep quiet, I learned from The best, remember? How do you hold on to all of your secrets? How can you be so blind? Just look at yourself You could have everything Everything But instead you let it all come crashing down

Backbite me, doubt me, it makes me work harder Gaslight me, side-eye me, it makes me play smarter Badmouth me, clown me, it makes me work harder Laugh with me, then at me... I came for my Caesar moment Saw a spot that called to be conquered There's a Brutus 'round every corner Friends turn to foes when triumphs take over Misery seeks company I'm headed for the monopoly An honest enemy over lying buddies I'm here to stay I don't want to be part of the games you play I'm in for the kill I don't want to waste my time on the games you play They don’t wanna see you win Word hard; don’t stop, work harder Haters give you an inch Don’t even sweat, take that, go farther Been working like it’s no days off OG in the game and you just a starter Everybody wanna stab my back That’s fine, when I go know I was a martyr Don’t move till the money here They mad like I really care People all talk, pull up, got em shook Tuh, now they really scared They my kids like I was they father Drip like I’m made outta water Don’t try to touch my chain I recommend that you go think smarter Play the game like monopoly We big dogs, no topping me You can’t think you stopping me You ain’t even that poppin, G Make em hype like a poppy seed Gotta shine how diamonds be They say snakes inna grass Cartiers on so I can see I'm here to stay I don't want to be part of the games you play I'm in for the kill [Makes me work harder / Don't want to be part of] I don't want to waste my time on the games you play I don't care about your games anymore From now on I know how to avoid energy vampires like you And that's enough words wasted on your kind Now I can see through all of the lives I'm here to stay I don't want to be part of the games you play I'm in for the kill I don't want to waste my time on the games you play

EI 02:08

"Mä en ollutkaan kai se mitä me luultiin" You left before the morning light with all your suitcases in your hands I offered help, you said "it's alright" I never thought this is how it would end A man should sound assured yet I'm howling in the stairway The pleas won't help when everything simply has been said I cared about you so much yet I forgot to care about myself These lessons in life simply have to be felt "Ei" "Ei" "Ei" "Ei"

Planespotting 02:45

As I go through these photobooks and dusty old diaries I can't help but look back on all those special memories with pride You were likely my best friend back then Bottles as part of the furniture In many ways we were quite different I was into gleaming clothes and films, you were into drugs I liked to play calm like Clint, you were the impulsive one Canny nagging while acting manly "Please don't mix up with that crowd", I said They'd never pick you up from the gutter If you ever ended up in that sad state of mind Primary school's funny like that, volatile yet so fragile Pint-sized minds spotting planes after school waiting for the ride "We'll always be bros" we'd shout across the road The onus, onus is on me to tell our frail tale As time passed and I passed my exams you were not often around I thought earth had swallowed you, eventually I left the town Years turned to decades, I found myself a new home down south Until one day it hit me: I'd started missing your scowl With eagerness I dialed your numbed and called, no response After days I got a call back and my heart nearly stopped Waves of life had pulled you underwater claiming your life I'm still reminded by the airplanes in the sky The onus is on me to tell our frail tale

Everything & Nothing 02:48
lyrics

Your 80-pound fairytale For too long I've, for too long I've watched from the sidelines as dreams corrode your mind And stains on the sheets won't fade, no I have to find my, I have to find my courage, this won't cut it anymore I've watched you shrink away Trying to fade like, trying to fade like a fragile firefly when you are only human You've got everything and nothing Dents and cuts that just won't heal, no You think you're nothing, well ain't that something When you're really everything to me Everything to me We're in it, we're in it, we're in it together Everything, nothing You've got everything and nothing

Time Stands Still 02:28
lyrics

As time stands still And the world's asleep I can feel the heat It's you and me Since I laid my eyes on you The secret's been stuck with us like glue But our love's slowly building our tomb It comes to life only 'round fullmoon Yes, I should have been home by now The passion's too strong to slow down We know this has gone on for too long Shh, did you hear that What was that sound? As time stands still And the world's asleep I can feel the heat It's you and me

Prowler 03:02
lyrics

A lover around 3pm, the reaper by 3am Small hours in a gray daze Meet me someplace in the staircase Each day You might think I’m just your regular face The daily sound of the siren The word’s out bout the mayhem No trace they all keep saying Bite of a snake Wealthy is the one who waits Checkmate The next job could wait at any place Hid in the corners wasting my time ‘way ’Til I taught myself how to get paid The truth concealed behind a pair of eyes Contracts keep me bound to this double life Tripling my speed on the night-time highway Plowing through beads of the wine-like blood rain Hours upon hours planning the perfect crime Patience pays off when the clock strikes midnight Look away, look away, look away, I’m a prowler Look away, look away, look away Look away, look away, look away, I’m a prowler Look away, look away, look away Look away, look away, look away, I’m a prowler Look away, look away, look away Get away, get away, get away - it’s my hour Get away, get away, get away Here’s meticulous planning for hire Colder than tundra, execution never wired A true professional, the virtuosic wet job I leave the scene faster than you would leave a shock site As long as the money does the talking I’m set Always finish what’s started before going to bed I don’t feel no guilt nor do I really feel pride A man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do, right? Look away, look away, look away, I’m a prowler Look away, look away, look away Look away, look away, look away, I’m a prowler Look away, look away, look away Look away, look away, look away, I’m a prowler Look away, look away, look away Get away, get away, get away - it’s my hour Get away, get away, get away

Unrequited (feat. Nessly) 03:29
lyrics

Unrequited, I'm torn and blessed Unrequited, you made me feel blessed I've been up all night tryin' to start a fire, pleading left and right once more to be blessed You made me feel blessed Unrequited I beg to be blessed I require it to be at rest I've been up all night, waiting for daylight "It'll be alright", that's what I tell myself I beg to be blessed That's why my unrequited love Keeps growing strong That's why my unrequited love Keeps growing strong Unrequited, I've been torn and lost I've been paying the cost Unrequited, I have given my most, still I'm so lost I've been up all night Rehearsing old lies How you're by my side It's the burden I bear That I still care

TAPE 02:53
lyrics
buy track
Blood on the tape, yeah Blood on the tape, yeah What do you do if your wishes don't come true? Throw them aside and keep moving toward new, cruel letdowns? Whoever told you life would be child's play was a bloody liar The view's nice but the higher you climb the more violent the wind turns The crying won't help, you saw it coming Money draws in buzzards boldly circling Keep the day ones near Buckle up for plot twists Life's a sadist Okay, okay, okay, alright Put a piece of paper between two blood brothers Watch it bleed them dry, that's how Romulus killed Remus Just a while ago you were all 'bout best man plans Now you're the one lying on the altar Bruised, beaten, brutally backstabbed All on your own, left with nothing but the kiss of Judas The true nightmares revolve 'round the turncoats, not the Kruegers People ain't ever 'round until the phone starts ringing Smoke and mirrors up, David Blaine, hide that feel that you can't kill Swag like Steve Harvey's keeps me staggeringly tranquil Bottle up the losses like the genie, where's Christina Just because you could give up doesn't mean you should We'll all end up a big pile o' bones when the tape ends Why not keep fighting 'til the bitter end?

Pockmarks 02:59
lyrics

Pockmarks on moon's skin, you are sitting inside your car The frozen frame in the night Wondering just how far you'd be able to drive, the arsenic pen droops from your mouth Trust is a weakness, lies enticed you like a siren's serenade made of cyanide Should listen to your mind, "if it's too good, just run" It's a flytrap waiting to go off No more waiting No more wasted time Pockmarks on moon's skin, you are driving 'round in the night Phone vibrating in the glovebox Afraid of leaving but afraid to stay around It's time to fight, jump into the fire You're still thinking out loud "all this time I was blind" "I'll say it first, it's over, I'll never run back into your Venus arms" It's detox time, no parting words, your patience has run out No more waiting No more wasted time

On the Run (Tales from the Suburbia) 03:59
lyrics
buy track
1AM Autumn wind beats against the windowsill The drifter's stench The suburb sleeps Under the mat is where you keep your apartment keys Half-beast, half-man, eyes on the price Bushlurker single-searching under moonshine Born of hatred, spawn of Satan Fury and fire raging inside Mutilation on my mind Vouyeristic escapism Kiss of death while you're tucked under the blanket Gaze on ankles, sandman's gone missing somehow Psychopathic thirst for pornographic havoc The clock stops Sick sack of shit Soon all hell will break loose so sleep tight Sleep tight Standing in the foyer, the flashlight points at the walls Scanning the scape, a palace just like in Salo My head is humming, I'm grinning like El Diablo Gripping the tools of the trade, seeking the nearest backdoor Catastrophic capabilities West wing, headed to the bedroom A diabolic abomination like Bundy It'll be over soon Deep darkness permeating You wake up shaking and shrieking in your new tomb Writhing in the kitchen like a wounded weasel in season Pleading Screaming "Jesus" *Boom* Where to go Where to hide Stains on floor like red wine The torso clawed, warped outline I want more, one more night I'm on the run again Nothing can stop me now After the feast The manic pride I'm headed east I grab a bike Skulking the streets Lock all the doors I'm off a leash Like a rabid dog After the weak Another body on the street I see a Honda passing by 'Bout seven feet away Aim my nine The bullet flies straight through the car window The blood dyes my old Nikes when I jump in and speed off Eyes on the sidewalk for the lost under lamplights Got no remorse The distant sirens blasting off Would rather die than face the court Enter the highway craving for the main course I'm on the run again Only death can stop me now Only death can stop this now

Overdose 02:46
lyrics

All the darkness I keep hearing about, it's like an overdose Daylit, comatose My anxiety gropes me Two faces like Harvey There's no dying lit Carti Alone in your apartment, crawling on the parquet in the wee hours Somebody please fly me to Broadmoor and back My friends have gone quiet Hope none of them lost their lives this weekend They're really trying, there's no use crying Got to keep hanging off the edge of this massive mountain My paranoia's my master Good guys get kicked around, Jacklin All these bad news make you want to run faster than a televangelist pastor And I'm not supposed to care about media's daily specks of despair? As long as there is evil there is profit to be made One like, one prayer All the darkness I keep hearing about, it's like an overdose Daylit, comatose

Drawn to You 03:48
lyrics

I'm loaded up with confessions I've been a bad man Had time to think through my wrongs, think through the words of the songs I never wrote Had to keep deadpan When the things around us got tough with the tightening cuffs, the nights out in the cold It's felt like a lifespan But here we still stand on the broken land with the cleansing rain clouds beyond I've been a bad man My sins and my wrongs, how they've haunted us all along, yet you keep carrying on I was losing sight, thinking it's still July I was losing my mind over chances to help us pull through This losing fight messing with our lives Yet you stood by my side, babe, that's why I'm drawn to you I've done some bad things I knew all those plans would soon get out of hands; I just listened, never heard A single word Life felt like a chorus, "nothing could stop us" I sang with my head in the dirt For I'm a bad man My sins and my wrongs, tattooed and lifelong, yet you still carry on I was losing sight, thinking it's still July I was losing my mind over chances to help us pull through This losing fight messing with our lives Yet you stood by my side, babe, that's why I'm drawn to you I was losing sight, thinking it's still July I was losing my mind over chances to help us pull through This losing fight messing with our lives Yet you stand by my side, babe, that's why I'm drawn to you That's why I'm drawn to you

Locked in a room like a rat in a cage Seeing people is a struggle each and every day What if my world ended today? Who would I call? What would I say? Who would I run to? Who'd be able to recall my name? All alone in this cold, cold world Stuck with my own company
