about

I do recognize the irony of having a song called "Useless" sequenced after a song about playing video games after my partner wanted to sleep instead of having sex with me. This album is pretty heavy, thematically, so I hope you enjoy that little chuckle.

This album is sequenced in order of when I wrote the songs, for the most part.

This was in early May. I had watched a lot of potential income be wiped away as COVID shutdowns began taking place. My former partner and I were trying to save our relationship. I was doing some deep personal work on myself, but I was just starting. I just felt completely worthless, so I wrote a song about it.

lyrics

I feel useless
I don’t know how to do this
It’s seeming like my baby doesn’t want me anymore

Staring into space
Everything’s a waste
Every time I push ahead, my efforts are ignored

Feelings of power don’t exist these days
Plays are suspect and we don’t get replays
No flags to toss. Now just history says
That the pass was incomplete. Each case

Of defeat
Leaves me flatlined on the sideline though
Time does not exist so I don’t have time, yo
Every day stretches out like Simone Biles into the next
Swear I’ve checked my Facebook like 1000 times. I feel obsessed

IG stories
And hours of Tik Tok videos
Content I consume
But I’m supposed to be creating those
Swear I’ll be productive, then I start and think nerves just froze
Bae is on the couch. I’m in the basement. Feel absurd alone

Deep in emotions reality doesn’t validate
Powerless from decisions
folks above my position make
All of them are trash
And it’s got me in a morbid place
Staring at my screens wishing I could escape

Right now I feel useless
I don’t know how to do this
It’s seeming like my baby doesn’t want me anymore

Staring into space
Everything’s a waste
Every time I push ahead, my efforts are ignored

So I feel useless

I feel so useless
I feel so useless
I just don’t know what to do

Moping at home
Can’t put down my phone
I’m stuck. Feels like I just can’t move

People swear it could be worse
Like thanks I should be giving, man
Right now feels just like a curse
Head’s spinning like a ceiling fan
Plus this was my year for sure
I promise I could feel it, and
What I did was being heard
No one consuming tryptophan


Felt like lots of people had stopped sleeping on me
Now I’m depressed and my response is sleeping, homie
Or digest too much Whiteclaw tequilas homie
Up til 6 AM addressing Hunters that I be controlling

PS4 became my confidant
Til moment I dropped
Trying to not get booted from my job
And not live like slob
Felt like I was on the brink
And circumstances got me robbed
Imagine grinding for so long just for something microscop

Ic to come knock off your top
Now I’m way back tracked
like I just got stiff armed plus a facemask grab
And then everybody saw it but the stripes
So my target hits the end zone
While all of my fans gripe

So I feel useless
I don’t know how to do this
It’s seeming like my baby doesn’t want me anymore

Staring into space
Everything’s a waste
Every time I push ahead, my efforts are ignored

So I feel useless
