lyrics

Keep it to yourself, Keep it to yourself
You know what? Just keep it to yourself
Keep it to yourself, Keep it to yourself
Why don’t you tell somebody else?
Cause you talk and talk, but we’re looking for some action
So we’re gonna assume that you’re acting
Unless you show us something else
Until then, just keep it to yourself

You get the message yet?
Stressed, puffing cigarettes
Gears grinding, revving, red-lining just like a Chevrolet
You can guess what’s next
Guaranteed a wreck
So slow down a sec or hurry up and press eject
The corner’s coming and you’re moving too fast
I can’t tell you how to live, but buddy it’s your ass
So you better be prepared when you hit that grass
Gotta stop, drop, and roll- it happened all in a flash
Barely time to react
That’s what they said when they talk about it
It’s so sad
If someone could’ve told ‘em, bet they wish they had
Or maybe they did?
You know you can’t always stop the skid
Cause some folks don’t learn as quick as the rest
Always seem to be surprised by what comes next
And I’d love to hear your story, but more is less
So maybe it’s best if you just held your breath
You know?

Keep it to yourself

I’m sick of hearing ‘bout all this word of mouth
He said, she said- well, I gotta air this out
Either you will or you won’t
So stop squawking bout your plans motherfucker and just do it or don’t
Grab a paddle or make room in the boat
If you jump right now you could probably still make the coast
The sharks are starting to circle, yeah they’re getting real close
And I’m trying real hard just to keep us afloat
So I could do without the chitchat on this raft
And if that’s too much for me to ask…
Wait a minute- let me flip that
If you sit back with a six-pack and some zig-zags and you rolled up and lit that
Would you really care about my mishaps?
See why I’m struggling with this energy?
The type of shit that turns a friend into an enemy
No doubt, you know I care about your health
But some things you’re better off keeping to yourself

Keep it to yourself, Keep it to yourself
You know what? Just keep it to yourself
Keep it to yourself, Keep it to yourself
Why don’t you tell somebody else?
Cause you talk and talk, but we’re looking for some action
So we’re gonna assume that you’re acting
Unless you show us something else
Until then, just keep it to yourself

I'm releasing new music the first Thursday of every month. Then I'm going back to the studio that night to record the next one.

It's been an incredible journey so far... Who knows where we'll go next?
