Cringe Binge 03:29
Tired as fuck Laying in bed Trying to sleep But my brains still running 3000 revs Overthinking everything Full on anxiety Its a fuckin cringe binge I just wanna be zen Wanna catch some zeds But I'm wide awake It's driving me insane I can't shut it off can't shut it off Thinking bout every dumb thing I've ever said Can't shut it off can't shut it off All my worst memories on screen in my head Search for ladders Finding snakes Relive all my past mistakes Once the cycle starts it doesn't stop (it doesn’t stop) I just wanna be zen Wanna catch some zeds But I can’t stop thinking about when I was in year 9 and for months I thought it was so fucking cool to wear a black tie with my stupid yellow polo shirt and I got a photo it was in the newspaper I’m so fucking embarrassing I’m an idiot ARGH! I can't shut it off can't shut it off Thinking bout every dumb thing I've ever said Can't shut it off can't shut it off All my worst memories on screen in my head Search for ladders Finding snakes Relive all my past mistakes Once the cycle starts it doesn't stop Why am I like this Search for ladders Finding snakes Relive all my past mistakes Once the spiral starts it doesn't stop WHY AM I LIKE THIS I just wanna be zen I wanna catch some zeds But I'm wide awake It's driving me insane I can't shut it off can't shut it off Thinking bout every dumb thing I've ever said Can't shut it off can't shut it off All my worst memories on screen in my head Search for ladders Finding snakes Relive all my past mistakes Once the cycle starts it doesn't stop Why am I like this Search for ladders Finding snakes Relive all my past mistakes Once the spiral starts it doesn't stop WHY AM I LIKE THIS

Armageddon 02:50
Go to bed daylight on a Sunday Brain dead all day every Monday This is no way to live my life It doesn't seem right It just doesn't seem right Another headache, another regret Another weekend for me to forget Not to be dramatic but if my Uber Eats guy Doesn't hurry the fuck up I think that I might die I'm getting tired of getting blind Of writing myself off at night I wanna wake up feeling fine But I never know where to draw the line There's just no in-between with me Armageddon cos I don't wanna miss a thing Sometimes I think it might be time But I never know where to draw the line Always fomo, no one really knows though What ya gonna miss, on the piss, on the blow bro Don't give me the tip, cos I already know Noone is gonna miss those days of feeling low Low on the agenda, three day bender Don't give a thought to how you're gonna spend ya Days coming down, just wasted on the couch Just get it in ya mouth, just have another round cus I'm getting tired of getting blind Of writing myself off at night I wanna wake up feeling fine But I never know where to draw the line There's just no in-between with me Armageddon cos I don't wanna miss a thing Sometimes I think it might be time But I never know where to draw the line I'm getting tired of getting blind Of writing myself off at night I wanna wake up feeling fine But I never know where to draw the line There's just no in-between with me Armageddon cos I don't wanna miss a thing Sometimes I think it might be time But I never know where to draw the line I'm getting tired of getting blind Of writing myself off at night I wanna wake up feeling fine But I never know where to draw the line There's just no in-between with me Armageddon cos I don't wanna miss a thing Sometimes I think it might be time But I never know where to draw the line

Eaten by ants Crawling on my skin I'll never trust my towel rail again Hundreds of ants Bitey little fucks Hiding in my towel to fuck me up Eaten by ants Crawling on my skin I'll never trust my towel rail again Hundreds of ants Bitey little fucks Hiding in my towel to fuck me up Molly fixed the leaky tap outside The drip drip drip drip drip drip drip it died Musta bugged the bugs Cos when they came inside It wasn't for hugs It was an invasion Of my privacy Bites all over my private things Jerks didn’t cut me any slack It was a full frontal attack Hiding and biting me Hiding and biting me Eaten by ants Crawling on my skin I'll never trust my towel rail again Hundreds of ants Bitey little fucks Hiding in my towel to fuck me up Eaten by ants Crawling on my skin I'll never trust my towel rail again Hundreds of ants Bitey little fucks Hiding in my towel to fuck me up Imagine this Step out the shower Lil guys been gathering for hours Expectations of soft and dry Instead I got nearly fuckin eaten alive They fucked me up Enough's enough It's not their fault We had a scuff Hiding and biting me Hiding and biting me Formicidae Enemy Why you wanna Mess with me Shoulda stayed in your colony Here's a strongly worded letter for your queen Dear Royal Ant Majesty I'm not a fan of your ambush on me You bet all future crumbs are gonna be swept clean And I'm calling in the bug man I'm calling in the bug man Formicidae Enemy Why you wanna Mess with me Shoulda stayed in your colony Now I'm calling in the bug man I'm calling in the bug man

Nutsack 03:22
Burnt so many times I got a skin check Ask me about my problems I'll go in-depth Personality is always on the wrong track Purse is emptier than a teenager’s nutsack My default setting’s to assume people don't like me Friends say it's in my head and who knows it just might be At this point in life success isn't that likely I'm holding onto hope that things work out to spite me Yeah To spite me To spite me To spite me People say everything's fine its gonna be okay At the end of the day I’ll still probably have another breakdown Feels like another breakdown I know everything is fine it’s gonna be okay That won't stop my brain from freaking out I'll have another breakdown Feels like another breakdown Breakdown breakdown breakdown Breakdown! Got so many bugs I need a reset Sorta cute but feeling old just like a Neopet Call me jellyfish I lack a lot of backbone Call me bitch because I put you in the friendzone?! My default setting’s to assume people will use me I'm a magikarp man who the fuck would choose me At this point in time outlook is feeling quite bleak I'm holding onto hope that things work out to spite me People say everything's fine its gonna be okay (Are you?) At the end of the day I’ll still probably have another breakdown (Crying?) Feels like another breakdown (Again? Again?) I know everything is fine it’s gonna be okay (Are you?) That won't stop my brain from freaking out (Crying?) I'll have another breakdown (Again?) Feels like another breakdown (Again?) Breakdown breakdown breakdown Breakdown! Ow! People say everything's fine its gonna be okay (Are you?) At the end of the day I’ll still probably have another breakdown (Crying?) Feels like another breakdown (Again? Again?) I know everything is fine it’s gonna be okay (Are you?) That won't stop my brain from freaking out (Crying?) I'll have another breakdown (Again?) Feels like another breakdown (Again?) Breakdown break fuckin breakdown!
