Love Self-Inflicted Track number: 1 Year: 2020 Album: Love Self-Inflicted Genre: Alternative

Love Self-Inflicted Love Self-Inflicted You smile at me, I miss your touch I feel the rush, as we begin again But then I say nothing hurts so much As pain… when it's self-predicted So we agree this time it’s just for fun 'Cause I’m damn fool And we play our parts Like it was scripted Never crossing the line, till one time You self-contradicted Got lost in the part Gave your heart unrestricted This was supposed to be for fun CHORUS But I’m a damn fool But I ain’t guilty… Hey! Everybody say… 'I don’t wanna be convicted' It ain’t my my fault You got addicted Love is self-inflicted My friends stopped by To side with me Claim maybe you addicted or Probably gaming me cause you Crazy afflicted But I shut it down with Bloody lip unpredicted I found I’m growing more and more conflicted CHORUS You the judge You the jury But you blind and you blurry In a rage in a flurry You blame me in a hurry Now your ears they be deaf So I drop the bass clef Take a moment look into your S E L F Drop it! Was it plain to see A heart grown More conflicted I say how can it be It was all just for fun But you blame me Blame me For the hurt, the pain, tried, convicted No one confesses love was Self-inflicted CHORUS Love is self-inflicted Love is self-inflicted

Come Ride In My Lincoln Track number: 2 Year: 2020 Album: Love Self-Inflicted Genre: Alternative

My chassis’ rolling fifty, my grease is getting gritty Been cruising this strip, since it was hip, way back before this town became a city Feeling bold when I pulled up to kitty, she cold She smiled warm and pretty, just paroled Her grill flashed silver and gold, my heart rolled and my thoughts got shifty… I said Come ride in my Lincoln So low that the belly be slinking So strong, 40 foot long, like a King Kong with the balls out swinging, Weeeeee 460 wringing with a four barrel drinking Light‘em up till the smoke be stinking Headers so bright, there's got to be a engine light blinking, blinking, blinking So we left scar, in the fresh tar In the police parking lot, in a big star Like a merry go round and round and round Hear a siren sound, laughing as we bust out, on the east bound We run her up to a buck-thirty She is screaming out the words kind a dirty 'Till we hit a dip and we go light as a feather Sparks fly and we slam hard together CHORUS She said it’s so big… but’s that’s effective She says It’s large… from every perspective It’s too much… baby that’s just subjective When crushing the town is your prime directive I say chilly down but she jumps the gate Kissing me long on the interstate But I pull the reins and we blow across some lanes As we skid to a stop, cause she can’t wait CHORUS

Guilty Track number: 3 Year: 2020 Album: Love Self-Inflicted

Guilty, you swear that it's true Guilty, your claims are nothing new But you, can’t prove a thing the hurt, I put you through Guilty, of things, I didn’t do I broke your heart With words I never said Left you lying alone Crying on the bed I could of reached out to you But turned away instead Now you can’t forgive all the words, 'I never said' Guilty, you swear that it's true Guilty, your claims are nothing new But you, can’t prove a thing the hurt, I put you through Guilty, of things, I didn’t do Let me go Set me free I crossed the line But hear my plea There was a crime I swore that it will be The only time The victim was me You broke my heart With words you didn't feel Gave just enough and Claimed it was ideal But It was all a show Now I can never heal And now you want back All the words you say I steel Guilty, you swear that it's true Guilty, your claims are nothing new But you, can’t prove a thing the hurt, I put you through Guilty, of things, I didn’t do She steps slowly through the open door Bare feet dare to cross the wooden floor I stare just hope’n maybe I might see her in the moonlight glowing in the bedroom mirror I swear, it’s gotta be 3 or 4 I fear, she coming back to fight some more So near, I could feel her breath... in my ear I broke your heart With words I never said Left you lying alone Crying on the bed I could of reached out to you But turned away instead Now you can’t forgive all the words, 'I never said' Let me go Set me free I crossed the line But hear my plea There was a crime I swore that it will be The only time The victim was me

Love Self-Inflicted Track number: 4 Year: 2020 Album: Love Self-Inflicted Genre: Alternative

What if I were just to stoke you Play and poke really awoke you Would I vaporize and turn smoke The moment I provoke you Will you blow up Super Nova Other stars must all move ov-ah When you show the sun you are THE one Most epic grand-e-ola I try to cross your boundary But you just heat me up profoundly Like a molten metal boiling kettle Hotter than a foundry Thought is on and bump’n Turn me up and got me want’n You to shake that sump’n sump’n While out body’s bump’n rump’n With my temp all trampoline-ing From extreme to fully steam’n Have you been set way past 10 because Ya got my whistle scream’n At the risk of paraphrasing You are lit and just so blazing Raising the bar so far to the sun My eyes are kinda glazing Will you blind me with your hotness Billion zillion kilowatt-ness Hotter than the sun is my best guess Yes maybe more but never less Baby, where's your thermostat Baby, where's your thermostat Baby, where's your thermostat You're burning this and melting that I wanna be right where you're at Oxygen acetylene We burn white hot and extra clean But what you got believe or not is Hotter than I’ve ever seen Your furnace gonna burn us Gonna roast our epidermis We stuck on a spit a fire lit Some body better turns us Baby, where's your thermostat Baby, where's your thermostat Baby, where's your thermostat You're burning this and melting that I wanna be right where you're at Baby, where's your thermostat Baby, where's your thermostat You're burning this and melting that I wanna be right where you're at My thoughts go hypo-therm-al Wisdom Pop’n like a kernel And the heat I feel is from a flame That burns for you eternal

Pretty Handsome Track number: 8 Year: 2020 Album: Love Self-Inflicted Genre: Alternative

I still can see Your purple room A princess dress A puppy groom Long hair, in pink barrettes But pretty, has regrets You’d hug me With all you can Kisses goodbye And hold my hand Friends with etiquettes But pretty, has regrets CHORUS After the smears and the threats You hang by the old swing sets With freaks and cigarettes Frozen like statuettes Lug boots, navy vest So the boys won’t grab your chest Wristwatches and skinny ties Make you look like preppy guys Silver studs, wicked tats Short hair, trucker hats And just to fuck with their mindsets Short hair, in pink barrettes My dear they fear what you’ve become My dear they fear what you’ve become Pretty Handsome I stand outside the locker room The girls press and presume Make a dare, but don’t you confess Are you pink or are you blue Who would you kiss, who would you do I hear the teachers are all making bets I asked If it was true Didn't care if it was it true Even as your secret grew My dear they fear what you’ve become CHORUS

I’m dirty as a diesel bus Prickly as a cactus I got a murder of crows, with I told you so’s Pecking at my crust And I’ve found it hard to adjust To a life turned dryer than dust And I fear my thirst is going to burst… My belly of rust But I’ve come back to work it out Though your pout’s filling me with doubt Maybe I’m too proud, to say out loud… But baby! I’m on the edge of a shout Cause one of us has got to start It won't be me… I reckon But if you say it first I'll say it… second Maybe we can break this curse We’ve already heard the worst… I reckon But if you say it first I'll say it second And now you flail and cuss Causing quite a fuss I say it’s just more proof you care for me And thus You found you can’t adjust To a life turned dryer than dust And you fear your thirst is going to burst Your belly of rust But I’ve come back to work it out Though your pout’s filling me with doubt Maybe I’m too proud, to say out loud… But baby! I’m on the edge of a shout One of us has got to start It won't be me… I reckon But if you say it first I'll say it… second Maybe we can break this curse We’ve already heard the worst… I reckon But if you say it first I'll say it second There's nothing left of us Nothing left to discuss The butterflies are all dead The butterflies are all dead There's nothing left of us Nothing left to discuss The butterflies are all dead And they’ve all turned... To dust

The World Ended Long Ago Track number: 10 Year: 2020 Album: Love Self-Inflicted Genre: Alternative

Threats, make believe Tears, to deceive You must thought me so naïve You started, very calm Doused your lips, in fresh napalm Didn’t know the heat would grow You turned away, I sad "So" But Damn! If you weren’t The Atom Bomb Billion trillion zillion, mega ton You gave no warning you were gonna blow No blinding flash, fiery glow, hot ash, mushroom cloud or lava flow Just the hottest girl I’d ever know And the world ended long ago Now it's like five below Gazing at the summer snow Living a dark shadow Under skies of indigo Spinning spinning vertigo Fingers clutching your photo Everything in slow mo I think of you and let it go As you predicted or had guessed I ‘d say sorry, but in jest Hope to die, cross my chest Just a lie, like the rest You gave no moment to defend No white flag for me to mend You destroyed me in the end With, I still love you… like a friend But Damn! If you weren’t The Atom Bomb Billion trillion zillion, mega ton You gave no warning you were gonna blow No blinding flash, fiery glow, hot ash, mushroom cloud or lava flow Just the hottest girl I’d ever know And the world ended long ago Now it's like five below Gazing at the summer snow Living a dark shadow Under skies of indigo Spinning spinning vertigo Fingers clutching your photo Everything in slow mo I think of you and let it go Give you flowers when I know you're wrong I give you flowers when I know you're wrong
