about

Xzela has a beautiful voice and I was lucky enough to have her sing the hook with me on this one. LOOK HER UP! Her music needs to be heard.
The first time I saw her I was playing the AYE festival in Cinci and I just was walking to the bar to get a drink and I heard her voice and walked over and just watched her whole set because I was so drawn to her music,
that I forgot what I was even doing when I heard her playing.

This songs theme is simple. Music is my therapist, so to speak.
This is my escapism.

lyrics

It'll be okay.
It'll be alright.
Everything will go great.
It's just a slow night.
Tired and hungry,
wishin fans would wire me money.
Incorrigible, ignoring control
and violently jumpy,
I wouldn't trade this
for better placement or payment.
I don't care to die rich.
Fuck a paradigm shift.
I'm a glum bum conundrum
coming undone from consumption.
Run run ya dum-dum
nothing comes from dysfunction.
It's love then,
I guess that's why I've been doin this.
Findin truth in it,
cause life has been disillusionment.
Tellin patients help is waitin
if they've ever felt abrasion.
Sick of wanting to die.
Sick of feeling alive.
Here we're all fire
for the sake of fire tonight.
Maybe I don't like myself.
Maybe it's a cry for help.
Maybe I'm alive and well.
Sayin only time will tell.

(Chorus w/ Xzela)
It'll be okay.
It'll be alright.
Play music all night.
Make music all day.x4

I feel a lot better now that I met the crowd.
Everything I said before this you can disavow.
Don't hand me your lighters.
I'll end up with all of em.
I wanna take a piece of you with me I can always lend.
This weight sits on my collarbone.
Feeling all alone.
I'm on a stage, awake,
afraid to take a break for calling home.
Where'd Colin go?
I guess now he's Happy Tooth,
They say he started rapping to
escape the things he has to do.
He has a massive crew,
and the aptitude to keep stabbing through.
He hopes no ones mad at you.
Truth is he just has the blues.
This isn't solipsism.
It's a quick trip to get some vision.
Searching for clarity
hope they bury me with it.
Since I told the truth I feel bullet proof
like I'm full of booze.
If the universe has bullied you,
I promise soon we're pullin through.
I'm just a surrealist.
Not so sure what my appeal is.
Hey kids if you feel this
show it to your real friends.
I speak in tongues fluently.
The weekend comes usually,
and if it goes beautifully
we'll smell like a brewery.
I wanna die on tour
your support has been tremendous.
Stay livin in the moment,
frozen, like it never ended.

(Chorus)

This ain't like all them songs on the radio.
Turn it up louder and let the fuckin neighbors know.
This ain't like all them songs on the radio.
This is my outlet when my heart is way too full.
This ain't like all them songs on the radio.
I need it and mean this.
You can tell by the way I spoke.
