lyrics:
There’s a heart-shaped bed in hell,
That I’ve been sleeping in
Your love-struck devotee
And when the clock strikes twelve I’m counting
Every deadly sin
Till you’re right here with me
You’re one hell of a drug
Keep you under my tongue
You’re the high I can handle
You’re eclipsing the sun
No use you in trying to run,
want to live in your shadow
Oh,
Won’t you drown me in,
Your oblivion
Ohhhh
One last time
I know it’s sink or swim
But I’m still diving in
Ohhhh
My oblivion
Won’t you be my coffin
Go head nail me in
Plant your garden over me
I’ll be the house, you’ll be the arson
Til’ everything I’ve been
Turns to ashes at your feet
You’re eclipsing the sun
No use in trying to run,
I wanna live in your shadow
Oh,
Won’t you drown me in,
Your oblivion
Ohhhh
One last time
I know it’s sink or swim
But I’m still diving in
Ohhhh
My oblivion…

Lyrics:
Kiss the bullet when you load the clip
One in the chamber ya you let it spin
Drop the needle down and hit the switch
Your favorite record is a heart that skips
Déjà vu
Right back where we started
Me and you
Spinning like u wanted
we’re just running in circles, darlin
Curse this dizzy spell
Round n round in a Figure 8 heartbreak
Spiralin like hell
Someone Get me off this
carousel
Ohhhhh
I’m not too feeling well
Can someone get me off this
Take me off this carousel
Fresh coat of paint on a burning house
Your picket fence is lookin pretty down
Feels like Rerun in the witching hour
I know the words before they ever leave your mouth
Déjà vu
Right back where we started
Me and you
Spinning like u wanted
we’re just running in circles darlin
Curse this dizzy spell
Round n round in a Figure 8 heartbreak
Spiralin like hell
Someone Get me off this
carousel
Ohhhhh
I’m not feeling well
Ooohhh
can Someone get me off this
Take me off this carousel
Little something about myself: I was born in Orange County, California. Raised in dive motels mostly. Both my parents were in and out of jail and prison so needless to say life was chaos. I never blamed them though. life was really hard and they just chose shitty ways to get by. it was all I knew until my grandma picked me up one day when I was about 11 and drove me straight to a small town in Oregon called Junction City. I cried the whole way but now I don’t know who i’d be if she didn’t. It’s the best thing to ever happened to me. I was so lucky to grow up there. Thank god for my grandma. Naturally it took a long time to adjust being from a drastically different background than everyone else and living in a farming community. Doing things like tractor safety school and picking blueberries on The Smith’s farm up the road for a summer job. I met my best friends. Their family’s took me in and treated me like their own. Sometimes I’d stay with my uncle who lived in a single wide trailer on a rock quarry & grew up in Punk bands. He would play me and my cousin his songs around a campfire on his acoustic guitar. I thought it was the coolest thing in the world. Rest in peace. Eventually I started my first band with my best friends, wrote my first songs, & played my first shows. Our first show was in a barn. One of my best friends met a girl there & have been together ever since. They’re married now, it’s beautiful. We were called Jeppesen Acres because Jairus’s older brother stole that street sign and it hung in his room. Again, I was so lucky. The day after I graduated high school I booked a one way ticket to LA. Eventually bought a truck with a camper shell on it that I lived in. Got a job wearing a lobster costume for a beach front restaurant handing out coupons. I started a couple awful bands until eventually one of them got signed and we got to put out a full length record. It was such a dream. Honestly I had no idea what I was doing but god that summer was incredible. A month after we released our record the label dropped us. It’s complicated. I was crushed. But looking back it was the best thing that could have happened. It led me to starting Magic Whatever.
January & February were strange. I went 2 months not listening to a single song. I felt literally afraid of music. That was a first for me. Lately I’ve have my headphones in almost 24hrs a day. I walk to this pub around the corner, order a chicken sandwich, & write lyrics for most of the day. It’s a good life, honestly. Excited to release more music and do it out of pure love. No expectations. Next single art is done. Final mix incoming. Then it’s all yours soon enough.
