TREE FALL
Chapter 1:
The Tree That Fell in the Forest
Tree Fall is a vulnerable journey through the chaos of self-discovery. Over five tracks, this chapter channels raw emotions—uncertainty, struggle, and healing—into a narrative about identity, mental health, and personal growth. Each song unfolds a step deeper into the human experience, reminding us that beauty can grow from even the most chaotic journeys. This is more than music—it’s a call to pursue what feeds your soul.
FUN FACT:
The inspiration for the album cover was from an artist named Dani
The inspiration for the merch art was from tree roots in black and white
I wanted the colors to pop more and fell more like the cover of an old children story book.
I changed the original black and white tree root design to look more like waves
Track 01: IDK (I Don't Know)
I Don’t Know, or IDK, is a journey through the haze of self-doubt, frustration, and the monotony of life. The feeling of being lost in the rhythms of existence, the suffocating numbness that age and experience can bring, alongside the confusion that comes with trying to navigate identity.
I wrote this shortly after the pandemic. At a time when it felt like my world was ending. Nothing made sense.
INTRO:
I don’t know
I don’t know
I don’t know
I don’t know
I don’t know
I don’t know
I don’t know
(yeah)
HOOK
I don’t know
I don’t know
I don’t know what I’m doing
I don’t know
I don’t know
I don’t know what I’m doing
I don’t know
I don’t know
I don’t know what I’m doing
Can you help me?
Can you help me?
Can you help me?
Can you help me out?!
VERSE 1:
Losing my track
Running too fast
Stuck in my past
Need to relax
Losing my cash
Down on my last
Bet on myself
Got nothing back
I think I’m hooked
Still pulling when it says to push
Talking to myself
How dumb do you look
Reading books
About affirmations
Mediation
Searching the bible for some revelation
Just to find in the end
That we all doomed
And those only work for people in costumes
And those who follow motions
Like strippers and cartoons
If only won the lotto
When pops popped me in moms womb
But all I got was this black skin
This mind that I’m trapped in
Feels like I’m acting
Even in passions
Had a girl give me her heart
I gave it back in a napkin
Crying asking what happened
HOOK
I don’t know
I don’t know
I don’t know what I’m doing
I don’t know
I don’t know
I don’t know what I’m doing
I don’t know
I don’t know
I don’t know what I’m doing
Can you help me?
Can you help me?
Can you help me?
Can you help me out?!
VERSE 2:
Dancing in the nude
Clumsy as the Goof Troop
Laying in the rain
Dressed up in a new suit
Sometimes I’m a dog
Wanna run and woof woof
Piss away my pain
While I find a place to do
Do me
I’ve been smelling myself
I just want to be without anyone’s help
But it’s hard to please
Without anyone else
Maybe being free just ain’t good for the health
I don’t know
I wish my life was a sitcom
Like That ‘70s Show
I could play Hyde
Get high with my friends
As the days pass by
Heartbreaks break with comedic relief
Instead of curtains drawn
Fresh tears on your cheeks
Just stick to the script
Fill in the beats
We all have our show
Some play a role
Some work the cam
I guess I’m just afraid of who I am
Track 02: Faces
Faces is a reflection on what it means to navigate a life steeped in pain and self-doubt, yet powered by the fragile hope that there’s something real beneath it all. It’s for those struggling to reconcile the fragments of themselves, a brutally honest ode to the fight for identity, balance, and survival amidst the chaos of existence.
When you've lived as many lives as I have, everything blurs. There's an unexplainable numbness. Most days I doubt I even exist. But my heart keeps pumping.
Intro:
I guess I’m just afraid of who I am
But then again
Do any of us really know?
Guess it all depends
On where it begins
VERSE 1:
Started with a backpack
Black Hoody Crew
Sold my first pack at an elementary school
On the corner
Since birth I’ve been a loner
Despite the dealings
I’ve never been a stoner
Seen too many heroes die
Behind blood-shot eyes
Sweet aromas
Hypnotized
Thighs full of pride
Never have I
Ever penetrated a mother or sister
Even with my body full of liquor
Head poisoned by scriptures
Lead poison and triggers
Fascinated with death
Yet afraid to leave this earth
Without earning respect
Just another lost brother
Barcode on his neck
Like check me out
All I cared about was a check
No doubt
Those days it was hard getting rest
Too busy thinking ‘bout what’s next
People came and left
Another heartbreak
Another regret
On this road to be a man
Without a man to reflect
Hook 1:
Up Early in the morning
Trying to get a grip
So many faces on this road to exist
Looking in the mirror
Yelling “Who the hell is this?
Looking in the mirror
Yelling “Who the hell is this?
Man why you keep
Fronting man you keep fronting
Why you keep
Fronting man you keep fronting
Why you keep
Fronting man you keep fronting
For why man I really don't know
But my heart keeps pumping man it keeps pumping
And it keeps pumping man it keeps pumping
And it keeps pumping man it keeps pumping
For why man I really don't know
But my heart keeps pumping man it keeps pumping
And it keeps pumping man it keeps pumping
And it keeps pumping man it keeps pumping
For why man I really don't know
Verse 2:
But I'm still walking around depressed
Every night before I rest
I pray it be my last breath
On this road to exist
I took some bad steps
Sold my soul
Left me cashing in some bad checks
Played my role
Now I wonder who they'll cast next
Losing control
I don't know how much I have left
All I see is sheep
I don't want to speak
When no one understands
All I want to do is sleep
Lone wolf riding through the street trying to find home
Different voice every week
Which one is my own?
All I do is adapt
Hard to keep in tact
When you falling all apart
No one to pull you back
If only I knew that God was a trap
I could have been a trap god with a stack
Or stacking up bodies getting off to horror
Cuz I’m in love with pain
Even this love is torture (yeah)
Cuz I’m in love with pain
Even this love is torture
Cuz I’m in love with
Pain so I’m
HOOK 2:
UP Early in the morning/Trying to get a grip/
So many faces on this road to exist
Looking in the mirror/Yelling “Who the hell is this?/
Looking in the mirror/Yelling “Who the hell is this?/
Man why you keep/Fronting man you keep fronting /
Why you keep/Fronting man you keep fronting/
Why you keep/Fronting man you keep fronting/
For why man I really don't know/But my heart keeps pumping man it keeps pumping/And it keeps pumping man it keeps pumping/And it keeps pumping man it keeps pumping/
For why man I really don't know/But my heart keeps pumping man it keeps pumping/And it keeps pumping man it keeps pumping/And it keeps pumping man it keeps pumping/
For why man I really don't know
Track 03: 30 & Broke
The song was birthed after a severe mental breakdown, during a period of life when even the simplest tasks, such as making a bed, felt insurmountable. Metaphorically, making the bed becomes a symbol of survival—acknowledging a small victory while still grappling with the depth of emotional pain.
The song confronts the cyclic nature of depression—acknowledging both moments of gratitude and the desire to escape entirely.
Intro:
La la la la
La la la la
La la la la
Hook 1:
Thirty and broke
Single and lonely
Lost all hope
Yet the sun shines on me
Nowhere to go
No reason for life
Still I wake up to rays
And think it might be alright
I made my bed today
Can you believe I made my bed today?
I never thought I’d make my bed today
I think I might just make it out today
Cuz after all I made my bed today!
Aren’t you proud I made my bed today?
It’s all good I made my bed today
Cuz who can be sad with beds to make?
Verse 1:
By every time I take a breath
I feel this fire in my lungs
Every night I pray to God
That the morning never comes
I’ve failed at everything
I’ve ever tried to do
I’m terrible at teaching
I was never good in school
I want to end it all
But I can never follow through
Because I wake up again
And go right back to loving you
How could you leave me
Without any answers to
How I’m supposed to live
When there’s nothing left to lose?!
Cuz I’m still
Hook 2:
Thirty and broke
Single and lonely
Lost all hope
Yet the sun shines on me
Nowhere to go
No reason for life
Still I wake up to rays
And think It might be alright?
I made my bed today
Can you believe I made my bed today
I never thought I’d make my bed today
I might not make it but I did today
Well at least I made my bed today
Aren’t you proud I made my bed today?
It’s all good I made my bed today
Cuz who can be sad with beds to make
Right?
Outro:
So no I won’t make my bed I today
I think I’ll just sleep in bed today
Until everything melts away And I don’t ever have to be OK Just to say
I made my bed today
I know there’s gotta be a better way
Than folding covers just to hide your face
But everybody’s got a bed to make
I guess it’s time I made my bed today
verse 2:
But no matter where I am
This fucking feeling can’t escape
That nothing ever changes
It will always be this way
I’m not who I was
And who I am doesn’t feel great
Enough to feel loved
Or feel the sun on his face
Inside I’m so numb
I look for pain’s warm embrace
I dig so deep for things
That I know I shouldn’t break
But every time I feel that crack
I’m filled with empty space
And the only thing I dream about
Is how sweet this death will taste
BRidge:
Thirty and broke
Single and lonely
Lost all hope
And all of my homies
Nowhere to go
No reason for life
And I can’t see way
It can all be alright
I’m drunk in bed today
Cuz I can’t get ahead today
I want to leave and it sleep it all away
No more pain
No more mistakes

Track 04:
HAVE A NICE DAY
What does it mean to live in a world where nobody truly knows anything, yet pretends to know it all? Why do we keep trying to connect, even knowing that people come and go? And how do we survive the lingering emptiness left behind when everything feels like a performance?
Intro:
Die da da oh
Die da da oh
Die da da oh
Die oh i oh i oh
verse 1:
Life is but a movie
Where everybody dies (what)
Everyday the sun comes up
But nobody knows why (duh)
Everybody wants trust
Yet everybody lies
Like this world’s fucked up
But I’m happy I’m alive
Every night I pray to a God
I don’t believe in
But when I’m go to hell
I know that won’t be the reason
For God made man
And man made himself machine
So what good is the blood
When there’s oil in my jeans
And snakes in my boots
Getting lost in toy stories
Where is Woody
Smoking goody goody
Losing worries
Because nothing matters
And nothing ever did
After all
In the end
We’re all just hypocrites
hook:
That’s why
No one ever seems to stay
No matter what I try
I seem to always make mistakes
Everyone is perfect
I don’t fit in any way
Still bad with goodbyes
Fighting tears
As I say
Won’t you get the fuck out
Hope you have a nice day
Get the fuck out
Hope you have a nice day
Get the fuck out
Hope you have a nice day
Won’t you get the fuck out
And never come around this way
Verse 2:
Every second that goes by
I lose another friend
Just then I came twice
And here I am again
I masturbate so much
I never give consent (sorry)
They take me as I am
From their eyes/I's
But not within
Everything is empty
I’m really so confused
Do people live life
Or do they just follow rules?
We all go through the same journey
And it’s cruel
Yet pretend to be different
Just to live like others do
[Voice Over Skit]
Hey Q it’s Becky
You’re a fucking whore
Um you need to get your fucking scary ass off my purse
And maybe own up until you have it
OUTRO:
[Voice Over Skit]
Um you’re just a dumb dirty bitch
You don’t deserve any dime
So fuck you OK
goodbye
Track 05:
Go
Life is chaos. Trust your instincts. Risk failure to find true freedom. Growth requires letting go—and that the journey might just be the destination. This is for those who feel stuck, searching, or ready to risk it all.
​
GO!
INTRO:
Go go go go go go go
Go go go go go go go
Hook:
I’ve been stuck
Waiting in line for a long time
In the search for peace of mind
I think I might have lost mine
I don’t know
If I’ll ever find what I came to see
But something in my soul Is telling me
That I gotta go go go go
So I gotta go go go go
Know I gotta go go go go
Somewhere I can be free
Bridge:
Yeah yeah yeah
‘Cuz I got my tank on full
And my windows down
Pedal to the metal
And my volume up loud
Sun on my face
And my head in the clouds
World could burn away
And I’mma still have a smile
Verse 1:
‘Cuz I got my tank on full
And my windows down
Pedal to the metal
And my volume up loud
Sun in my face
And my head in the clouds
World could burn away
And I’mma still have a smile
‘Cuz there’s a fire in my eyes
I haven’t seen in awhile
Never meant to die
In the sea of the crowd
Done playing safe
I don’t care what’s not allowed
No time to waste
It’s my life
I’m livin’ now
Hook:
‘Cuz I’ve been stuck
Waiting in this fucking line
For a long time
In the search for peace of mind
I think I might have lost mine
I don’t know
If I’ll ever find
What I came to see
But something in my soul
Is telling me
That you gotta go go go go
So I gotta go go go go
Risk it all and go go go go
Somewhere I can be free

Free free free free free
Go go go go
So I gotta go go go go
Risk it all and go go go go
Somewhere I can be free
Free free free free free
