1.	Too Good (feat. LL Cool Jew) 03:52	lyrics	buy track
(Ben): Hey, man! (LL): Hey Ben, you wanna collaborate on a song? (Ben): I would love to, but uhhhh it would make all your other songs look weak by comparison, ya know? (LL): Oh, okay, what do you mean by that? (Ben): Oh, no, I'm not making up excuses. This is totally something I'm capable of doing (LL): Well, do you still wanna do it? (Ben): (awkward pause) Fuck it, sure (LL): Let's go VERSE 1 (Ben): You're looking at the master Of anything you ask I'm guaranteed to rock that shit No matter the task It's just that if I do those things I'll make everyone look so bad So I always choose to hold back You're welcome in advance Oozing with natural talent And I'll make sure you know it Just have to take my word 'Cause I won't ever show it So if I ever back down from a challenge It's not 'cause I'm afraid I swear it's not 'cause I'm afraid It's totally not that I suck at it, no way CHORUS 1 Baby I’m too good I know that I’m the best I’m just too damn good Don’t put me to the test! I could try new things I know how that would go Greatest of all time Just 'cause I told you so (LL Cool Jew) VERSE 2 Couldn’t be a weightlifter 'cause I’m too damn jacked I couldn’t ever go to Harvard cuz I’m too good at math I don’t ever have sex 'cause my pump too nice Could never be a fancy chef 'cause i got too much spice I could make this song better if I tried If I did, it would only hurt your pride I’m an achiever, I’m sick, no fever I’m both the quarterback and the receiver Joining the NBA was one of my aims Until i thought about myself dunking on LeBron James That would be majorly embarrassing for him Tears in his eyes while I’m hanging off the rim I make everybody else feel inadequate (walking) When you saw my rhymes, you know that you had to quit, Yeah I’m just fartin’ on the beat, I’m so flatulent You got passions, well might as well abandon it! Bitch CHORUS 2 Baby I’m too good I know that I’m the best I’m just too damn good Don’t put me to the test! A jack of all trades I’m naturally blessed Pick anything, I’m great You’ll be embarrassed (bridge) This doesn’t make me lazy To always have an alibi It’s just i would be too amazing Why bother giving it a try? I have no redeeming qualities I make sure everybody sees That I’m the best that a person can be (at everything) My fear of failure breaks my will I compensate for lack of skill To prove I’m not a worthless piece of shit Of shit 'Cause I'm just too good! I know that I’m the best (pump!) I’m just too damn good Don’t put me to the test! (pumpy pump!) Whenever you think Of something I can’t do Don’t even ask me to Already know that I’m too good

VERSE 1 Welcome back To this mess Lucky me Never left I'm full of shit Full of stress How am I? Take a guess I need cash I need friends I need love Need to vent I used to lie Not prevent Run away Circumvent But I think I Finally know what I need CHORUS I need therapy Anyone can see Something's wrong with me I need therapy Coming round, it's been long enough, I can agree Somebody named me should start to take care of me I need therapy VERSE 2 Beer and wine's All I got Fell in love With the thought that I was fine But I'm not Forget what I was taught Take a seat Close your eyes Get inside Analyze Make that mind Realize Find out if That applies I want more, but unfortunately I'm poor CHORUS I need therapy Anyone can see Something's wrong with me I need therapy Coming round, it's been long enough, I can agree Somebody named me should start to take care of me I need therapy VERSE 3 Strip away All the pain You have no thing to gain Closing up Break the chains Keeping you In your brain C'mon and Bring it in Build it up I think I've Had enough Obsolete Macho stuff You were right Called my bluff This facade of strength made me fragile and weak CHORUS I need therapy Anyone can see Something's wrong with me I need therapy Coming round, it's been long enough, I can agree Somebody named me should start to take care of me I need therapy Anyone can see Something's wrong with me I need therapy Coming round, it's been long enough, I can agree Somebody named me should start to take care of me I need therapy
3.	Idiot Around You (feat. James O'Shaughnessy) 05:47	lyrics	buy track
Speaking free I just say whatever pops into my mind Like how every day I'm reminded that you are one of a kind There's no need to think about What to say, what to feel, what to do Be myself I like that I can be an idiot around you I was shy Switched into a neutral personality Out of fear anyone Wouldn't want to be seen with the real me But the way you make me feel Lets me know that I can tell a joke or two Having fun I like that I can be an idiot around you Goof around, act Like a clown that Works exclusively To make you chuckle and smile Seeing that Makes it worthwhile Finding out That there's something here that's special, plain to see When the side that I hide From the world now has the comfort to be free Make you laugh and kill the mood You and me all alone, I am true To myself I like that I can be an idiot around you Around you Goof around, act Like a clown that Works exclusively To make you chuckle and smile Seeing that Makes it worthwhile Finding out That there's something here that's special, plain to see When the side that I hide From the world now has the comfort to be free Make you laugh and kill the mood You and me all alone, I am true To myself I like that I can be an idiot around you I like that I can be an idiot around you I like that I can be an idiot around you Around you
4.	Left 03:27	lyrics	buy track
Breathe in And focus Move past the nerves Let go The sound for this night It's left up to you Downright beautiful All that's left Is the easy part Practicing Every skill All your life Dreaming of right now Now you're here Through your hard work and will It's left up to you Downright beautiful All that's left Is the easy part All that's left Is the show Catch a breath This is where it starts All that's left Is to go
5.	You Already Know (In This Room) (old version) 03:03	lyrics	buy track
Video call It's nice to see you You're seeing where I sleep at night Personal space Come to conclusions About what I do here, you'd probably be right Some things you don't need to tell or show You already know I masturbate in this room I never said it but we all can assume See my bed in the corner of the Zoom? You already know I blow My load in this room Deep down inside Knowledge was lurking Back of your mind You know I'm jerkin' Choking my chicken in the chair where we chat The lotion is in frame, I forgot about that This is where I let my pleasure flow You already know I masturbate in this room The camera turns off, I resume When I go live, the thought of it looms If you see me when I stream Yeah my wet dreams Are creaming in this room Knowledge is power, well not anymore I did the deed right before Nobody says it, but even so You already know You already know You already know You know how it goes You know how it goes You know how it goes You already know oh ohhh I masturbate in this room Bustin' nuts, no legumes Grinding my grundle til I coom - cum Once this song is done I'mma have some fun I masturbate in this room I never said it but we all can assume See my bed in the corner of the Zoom? You already know I blow My load in this You already know I blow My load in this roomWoah You already know I blow My load in this room
6.	Once I'm Gone 04:59	lyrics	buy track
Live and dream beyond when I can dream no more Peaking through the door Catching a glimpse of their words Words I have not heard before Such a simple wish won't see the light of day Once I go away Worried the thought of me fades So I'll give you something to say I'm Losing to time Must preservate My Memories and life Before it's too late Come the day That I go away If part of me stays Then I carry on In someone's thoughts I won't be lost Once I'm gone Overthink and I amount to nothing I am nothing Yeah I might feel like shit but hey at least I'm feeling something Universe revolves around my agony See them laughing They must be thinking of me And I need to change what they see I'm Losing to time Must preservate My Memories and life Before it's too late Come the day That I go away If part of me stays Then I carry on In someone's thoughts I won't be lost Once I'm gone I'm losing to time Must preservate My memories and life Before it's too late (x3)
7.	No Life (feat. Greg Yee) 03:27	lyrics	buy track
Tune in to to your favorite show It's a desperate need to know How I live, judging every move Undesired strong advice Push ahead, they'll pay the price I could too if I hated like you do Everything So half-assed and selfishly That's no life That's not a life If that's your life I'm sorry, that isn't the life for me Zero outlets, zero shame Hide behind that username Hoping someone will have a response You're devoid of intellect No concept of respect Unless the tables get turned on you What a sad, pitiful Excuse for a life you lead That's no life That's not a life If that's your life I'm sorry, that isn't the life for me Worthless and pathetic You don't get it, and you can't Landlords, pickup artists, Tech bros, cops go on another rant Throw this whole dream away 'Cause who knows how long that'll stay That's no life That's not a life If that's your life I'm sorry, that isn't the life for me That's no life That's not a life If that's your life I'm sorry, that isn't the life for me That's no life That's not a life If that's your life I'm sorry, that isn't the life for me
8.	Quickly Turning Into a Comedian 03:26	lyrics	buy track
It was late last night, I was up on my phone As I write another joke or two Then I fell asleep, and the thought slowly creeped up "This could be something that I always do" Well I woke this morn with a cold and a cough And a thick layer of sweat on my brow Oh my migraine drains any energy left I'm left here wondering why and how? How in a day my body's changed I think I know just why I'm feeling strange I proclaim with a weary breath A fate worse than death I'm quickly turning into a comedian I'm sorry for your loss, but this is my end Alienating all of my friends I'm quickly turning into a comedian I look in the mirror, now I have facial hair And a button-up and jeans as well Have a urge to go offend everybody that's here Then complain when you get mad as hell (Sorry I'm too REAL for this crowd) Well maybe soon they'll find a cure Until that day I can't be sure I flail at night trying to stay alive I'm working on my tight five - oh god I'm quickly turning into a comedian I'm sorry for your loss, but this is my end Alienating all of my friends I'm quickly turning into a comedian I've caught the bug I need the drug Come on and give me another hit I'll plagiarize And poorly satirize It's really just some bigoted shit Maybe it's always been in my soul The need for new material Spread through me so fast, so venereal Woah oh oh oh I can't believe it's come to this I shoulda seen this coming, I can't dismiss I'm out of college, out of shape with no career in sight Attention issues, and white I'm quickly turning into a comedian I'm sorry for your loss, but this is my end Alienating all of my friends I'm quickly turning into a comedian I'm sorry for your loss, but this is my end Alienating all of my friends I'm quickly turning into a comedian A true comedian And I'm taking you fuckers down with me As I become weaker and nauseous and sickly I'm quickly turning into a comedian
9.	Couldn't Be You 03:32	lyrics	buy track
Roll with the punches Right in the gut I didn't think it'd hurt so much Good old 1-2 all you had to do Was be you The times are changing Stuck in the past But you didn't see this as that The road to hell is paved with good intentions Grab some on your way down (oh!) It's all a trick you know how people act When they're mad, make it up, state your word as a fact That this couldn't be you Hell, this could be anyone but you We all saw the real you Far too late for debate, nothing you can do Goodbye and fuck off Into the night Keep telling yourself you were right Consequence was never in your plans Now I understand It's so pathetic How you tried to cover up, deny, and lie Sorry only when the hammer drops I don't think you're doing so hot Look at those words all the shit that you said You say it's gotta be somebody else instead Cause that couldn't be you Hell that could be anyone but you We all see right through you The whole world saw the real you But that couldn't be you Hell that could be anyone but you Enough with the lies dude Fuck around and find out, get out, now you're totally screwed At this point the hole's getting deeper oh so deep As the yells start bouncing around you, we turn to leave Say "this couldn't be you" Then we didn't know you This couldn't be you Then we didn't know you This couldn't be you Then we didn't know you We don't wanna know you no more Cause this couldn't be you
10.	Waiting for Time to Pass Me By (feat. Brendan Getzell) 04:18	lyrics	buy track
Guess this is life now Blanking and spacing out Lost in my feelings Caught in their pull Didn't see the sun set or rise And tomorrow's a reprise Memory's a hole Of the days that I stole I know that it's hard To not just fall apart But I need to start Giving it a try Moments we thought were better They don't own us for forever Still, here I lie I'm waiting for time to pass me by Only existing For reminiscing Giving me comfort But I know I can't stay Want to wake up when at last All of this is in the past Because this mess I've made Tortures me less each day I know that it's hard To not just fall apart But I need to start Giving it a try Moments we thought were better They don't own us for forever Still, here I lie I'm waiting for time to pass me by (time) I know that it's hard To not just fall apart But I need to start Giving it a try Moments we thought were better They don't own us for forever Still, here I lie I'm waiting for time to pass me by
11.	Songwriter's Struggle (feat. Einstein the Mastermind) 03:48	lyrics	buy track
Ben: Time to sit and write the words that I’ll sing Fuck it all, I didn’t get one damn thing Start a new song, maybe that’s what I need Thirty failed ideas later, this isn’t for me Need to make that one track that I know will blow up But when live shows are back, you won’t be showing up And I crave affirmation from those who din’t give a shit Which is why this one needs to be a hit Running out of thing’s to write Rhyme supply is running t- w- l- light Even if I filled the page You won’t like it anyways Creativity’s dead Stopping while I’m ahead And by that I mean not even close I’ve never been so royally blocked New ideas out of stock How long ‘til I’m back? Who knows Einstein: Hey what’s up bro, how you been Ben: Man I've been struggling Trying to find the words to make this song begin Einstein: Shit bro, man we've all been there Hell I’m in the same spot right now Got this great beat, feeling so inspired Tryna make the crowd go oh wow Right when I open up my notepad to jot down a few ideas My mind went blank, couldn’t find the tempo, now I’m in tears I started just to think for a second “What could do stop my fears” Then a nice thought came across my mind I should go down to Ikea Find some weird furniture to get my mind pumping So I started just to make my way Realized I could use a drink and a bite to eat So I stopped at Subway Bought a footlong, then I went along Oh shit, left my keys at the house Turned around, found em next to my laptop still playing all these dope sounds Then I thought “Ok maybe this is right” Set up my mic just to see if maybe I could let it out Then I realized that I got right to recording When I don't know what the song's about I went to message you, but instead opened up Youtube You wouldn’t believe what is in the news 69’s trying to overthrow the government Wait, wait, wait What the fuck are we talking about again? Ben: Running out of new ideas Can I join you at Ikea? As long as we’re over there Get some meatballs and a chair Creativity’s dead I ain’t making no bread Speaking of which, I’m starting to crave A footlong from Subway as well But we both can tell This song needs to be saved Einstein: Oh fuck Theres a deadline Gotta get this shit done in a week While we’re bullshit talking bout Subway We should finish this as we speak Ben: Yeah I’ve been so distracted talking bout inaction Wanna write a song but I don’t think I’m able Need more options, more than Ikea’s wide selection of chairs and tables Einstein: Yeah they’re pretty stable, speaking of which I just saw a video the other day Of a guy breaking into his local store Breaking all the tables then he ran away Ben: Yeah I saw that, he was running with an axe Swung at furniture yelling “RACHEL TAKE ME BACK!!!” Fuck it I don’t wanna write this song anymore, let’s just go to that store Hey man, do you wanna go together? Do you want a ride? Einstein: Yeah man, as long as we stop by Subway I mentioned it earlier, and for some reason I just can’t get it out of my head Ben: Oh, totally! Me too. I hope we meet Axe Guy at Ikea today
12.	Step on Me (feat. Lex the Lexicon Artist & Audie Reyes) 04:09	lyrics	buy track
I've never met someone as sweet You make me feel complete Girl, won't you lift up your feet And step on me Well I've been looking for a dom and You've been looking for a bottom Well baby you got him Step on me Can't get it off my mind I want you to take me from behind Oh, won't you be the numerator To my denominator, baby If you're goth or alt Please won't you crush my balls You could step on me Baby (Started from the bottom, and I'm still here) Girl we could make this real I've been dreaming how it feels To be underneath those heels Step on me Let's just cut to the chase Need you to put me in my place And that involves you sitting on my face Treat me like a staircase Our loving won't be tarnished If you're garnishing a harness Pin me down, stay still, don't let go Wearing seven inch stilettos, baby It's just you and me I'm bound by secrecy You could step on me Baby Girl, you can hardly wait Must be my sole mate Baby it must be fate 'cause I've been dreaming of a life Where I look up at your eyes From down in between your thighs Took so long to realize Today’s your lucky day you needn’t play with your meat Hey it’s nice to see your face, I see you saved me a seat Cause I’m a switch, now and then I like to change up the speed I’m like a Twitch channel, subs really make me complete So savor the treat, a wap has never tasted so sweet Smother your face in honey cakes till you’re unable to breathe I could be playful or mean, and get you achin’ and pleading or takin’ a beating as long as it’s my name you’re repeating Just beg like you mean it Let me see you desperate and needy Release yourself from gendered expectations, let go completely It’s never unseemly to be the one receiving the D Women do it all the time, now it’s your turn to be free So open up and I’ll take care of you and love you like a man Treat yourself into submission, let your butt and mind expand I could make you bust a nut and never touch you with my hands All the good little puppies only come at my command I'm looking for my senpai I've been watching too much hentai But I'm here in real life You are my number one waifu, baby I don't wanna stop When your lovin is on top You could step on me Full control, I'm on my knees You could step on me (yeah)
13.	Who Am I (feat. Chris Songco) 05:25	lyrics	buy track
Verse 1: So it's come, here at last, I remember when I felt empty and needed that spark again I don't feel any different than I did then What went wrong? I can't give anything that I've done here love Cause that stage of my life is now covered up With a cloud telling me I'm not good enough To move on Chorus: I need to find me something new I'm a victim to Endless productivity I'm growing up eventually But that means I gotta go Had time, but didn't come prepared Why am I so scared? Makes sense it has to end The hardest part is saying goodbye If I stop, then who am I? Verse 2: Set my sights on a scheduled and stable goal Now I'm blind to progression, gotta fill that hole Can't I stay here where I at least have control For a while? Now's the time that we pack up and graduate Familiarity and comfort helped me concentrate I'm not ready to level up yet; I'd rather wait That's my style Chorus: I need to find me something new I'm a victim to Endless productivity I'm growing up eventually But that means I gotta go Had time, but didn't come prepared Why am I so scared? Makes sense it has to end The hardest part is saying goodbye If I stop, then who am I? Verse 3 (Songco): Started played music with nothing But a curiosity with strumming On a guitar, tape recorder that i used Take the lyrics down and turn them into something Now I’m tryna do this for a living Now my brain is being less forgiving Never want projects to end, because it sets a precedent Of whether I am losing or I’m winning But when you take away reception analytics Will you listen to your critic or your intuition? Will you see it as a summit you can’t climb past? Or as a milestone cemented in a time passed? The data points claiming that you hit your ceiling are skewed Music is a lifetime and fulfilling for you So take a bit to renew, then get back in the groove Cuz there’s a whole lot of living to do Chorus: I'll find me something new I'm a victim to Endless productivity I'm growing up eventually But that means I gotta go Had time, but didn't come prepared Why am I so scared? Makes sense it has to end The hardest part is saying goodbye If I stop, then who am I?

about

7-Day Songs is a creative project I started to help fine-tune my songwriting process and help pass the time during lockdown, by writing an original song a week (mid-December 2020 to mid-March 2021).
