A Simple Phone Call

Released on August 1, 2024

"There is nothing noble in being silent when a cry for help is swallowed by pride." Driven by electronic snares and crunchy kicks, A Simple Phone Call is a moody alternative R&B trap track that explores the difficulty of reaching out for help during crisis and the pain of carrying your family's sins.

Lyrics

Pick up the phone
I need to tell you something
Pick up the phone
I need to tell you something

Don’t leave me alone
Don’t leave me alone

Don’t leave me alone
I’m so scared of the cold
I fold when darkness comes
I know to atone for sins I’ve done

Hell in a cell
Undertaken, wrestling with myself and the vices that tempt me
Sex, weed, maybe Henessey 
Sink in the water and pray to the Lord that no one helps
Drown and decease a bloodline full of felonies

I can’t call up your phone even when I’m alone
‘Cause abandonment issues afflict me
Had a problem with overdosing and the knives in the drawer
It’s all too tempting
That’s on top of the fact that my ego is barely in tact
And a dial tone hurts me

So please pick up the phone
(Please pick up the phone)

You cannot leave me alone

Pick up the phone
I need to tell you something

Don’t leave me alone
You cannot leave me alone
