Sorry, I’m a little spaced out Welcome to my planet Can I show you around? Right is left And left is right Night is day And day is night But that’s what I like… Starry nights so clear ‘Cause nobody sets foot up here But I don’t bite No, I don’t bite That’s what I like... “Girl, you better get your numbers up.” ‘round here, nobody says that stuff And don’t worry about playin’ cool The temperature decreases with the altitude Sorry, I’m a little spaced out Welcome to my planet Can I show you around? Starry night so clear Nobody said it’s fun up here That’s what I like… That’s what I…

You can try to hurt me Cause you think I did you wrong Yeah I know you feelin’ strongly Like the kind of drugs you’re on But I am numb Numb numb numb numb numb numb numb numb... You can try to shake me But there’s nothin’ to shake up Yeah inside this empty heart of mine There’s nothin’ that I love Cause I am numb Numb numb numb numb numb numb numb numb... Pinch me, pull me Push me away But there’s nothin that you can do Everybody’s lookin’ at me like Ima get a rise from you But there’s nothing that they could do Because I’m numb... Numb numb numb numb numb numb numb numb numb... Not a sting I don’t feel a thing Try to bring it out But nothin’ come come come come comes Cause I am numb Kiss me, crush me Call every day But there’s nothin that you could say Everybody lookin’ at me Like ima get this girl to cave But there’s no way that they could save Me cause I’m numb Numb numb numb numb numb numb numb You can try to make me feel A certain kind of way But the truth is that It’s useless And I’m never gonna say That you’re the one One one one one one Cause I am numb... Numb numb numb numb numb numb numb numb numb

Lyin' in bed Touching myself Wishing that I was someone else Write a song in my head Stuff I shouldn't have said There's not much to tell But you know, sex sells and I'm really just a body and you're really just a brain If we put them both together That's a psycho-sexual two-way Keeping score- 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, and four as soon as they cut the cord, we're all raised on porn Lyin' instead of telling the truth Wishing that I could talk to you Like you're more than just a body Like I'm more than just a brain and we'll make it through together Like cranio-carnal - ball and chain Keeping score-- 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 and four as soon as they cut the cord we're all raised on porn Keep it coming Going insane You say I'm fucked in the head I'm just making love to my brain. Keeping score-- 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 and four as soon as they cut the cord we're all raised on porn We're all raised on... Porn

I don't mean to yell When I'm talking to myself But the voices overwhelm me and berate me Please don't hate me With every fiber and every cell Please don't hate me If you do, well I can't tell But I'm not crazy You're the crazy one Put the fire out with fire and then burn it down for fun I'm just sayin', Don't stop me 'til I'm done Cut the wire, when I'm wired and then blow it up for fun Who knew that hell could look like Fancy hotels? Just caught up in the wealth-y and seduce me But I'm not choosy Getting higher off the smell of the Sharpie I drew all over myself But I'm not crazy You're the crazy one Put the fire out with fire and then burn it down for fun I'm just sayin', Don't stop me 'til I'm done Cut the wire, when I'm wired and then blow it up for fun Your therapist says to leave me My arrogance says you won't be and we're fine We're just goin' through a time But I'm not crazy You're the crazy one Put the fire out with fire and then burn it down for fun I'm just sayin', Don't stop me 'til I'm done Cut the wire, when I'm wired and then blow it up for fun blow it up for fun blow it up for fun...

I wanna say I feel at home Wanna say I’m not here alone Wanna say these feels are real Like everything I’ve shown and Darling, just remember, Nothing’s set in stone And nothing is the strangest thing I’ve ever known You say it’s fine I say it’s not Don’t leave me alone with my thoughts ‘Cause if you do, I’ll think of you And all the chance I Blew me off like any other day Like I don’t have a single thing to say Blew me off like I was in the way Like I don’t have a single thing to say I wanna hear I’m the best you had So I can play it out in my head Wanna say something nice instead? Don’t let me hold you back ‘Cause if I do, I’ll be so blue Takin’ one for the team, in case I have to And if I do I’ll be so blue Just take a bite and then… *Rap * Dante Juhkel Chew on the fruit that we call temptation Breaking all the rules when you try not to make them Tell me what to do when you lose your patience stuck in a mood and we’re all misbehaving Tell me what world you’re chasing A boy meets girls situation But life’s not a sitcom Even if did wrong I hope you never ever wanna change our station And I don’t have to get you naked Stimulate your mind good conversation Tell me ‘bout your past and the time you wasted Tell me how those lames ass dudes were basic I just want to be your favorite We can make love, make wedding arrangements Instead of bullshitting with the ones we’re dating But when I choose you, girl, you’re always saying: Blew me off like any other day Like I don’t have a single thing to say Blew me off like I was in the way Like I don’t have a single thing to say

What are we doing here? Am I just over for the free food and beer? Is this the 19th one night stand? Is my palm just somewhere for you to put your hand? Honestly, tell me so if this is nothing, I can Just let it go But you keep me hanging on Like the last words of a song I listened to But you never feel alone With the termites eating up your home Throw it out if it's been used Tell me, what do you do that's not just for you? Suddenly, feels as though I'm an extra in your spinoff show But you keep me in the cast 'cause I learn my part so fast and I come through But I guess I misunderstood On a twin bed in North Hollywood Throwing out an excuse Tell me, what do you do that's not just for you? Tell me, what do you do that's not just for you?

Wakin’ up in paradise In pink sheets and sun soaked blinds I’m lucky to be here I swear this is the most Sincere I’ve been Makin’ up in every way For lost time And plans betrayed There’s nothing to see here Messy room and empty beers Head on a silk pillowcase Dreaming new dreams For dreams replaced I was supposed to be a star I was supposed to get my start And have my break Maybe I’m just late Maybe I’m just late Mistaken for a a nobody But cant you see That’s not me There’s something to see here Coming soon, it’s now Or near Head in the clouds Can’t think straight Say things out loud Cause they can’t wait I was supposed to be a star I was supposed to top the charts But my heyday hasn’t come this way Maybe it’s just late I was supposed to be a star I was supposed to top the charts And have my break Maybe I’m just late Maybe I’m just late Maybe I’m just late Maybe I’m just late…

about

Millennials are the first generation to grow up exposed to internet pornography, highly photoshopped digital advertisements, skyrocketing rates of cosmetic surgery, webcam models, online sugar dating, and so much more. We live in a sex sells culture that favors Instagram butt models over intelligence, follower count over human connection, and luxury branding over compelling narratives. My realization of this was amplified by living in Los Angeles where I found favors, networking, and model looks go a lot farther than original thought and talent. At times, I felt lost in a sea of fake, disassociated. Porn isn't just sex on the internet or on your TV. Porn is in our advertisements, on social media, and in our minds, emotions, and relationships. What does this mean for how we connect and relate to others? Who is really listening and not just looking at analytics and body shapes? As someone who considers themselves openminded and sex positive, I wrote the songs on this album while navigating relationships, fighting through inauthenticity and phoniness, dating, and going through a time of self-discovery, trying to be deeply honest with myself.
