#VERSE
“Find a therapist to listen
To your worries and complaints”
That’s what my sister said to me
As I unpacked my oil paints
Tried a man-to-man confession
With my bro-in-law
He quipped, “While you live under our roof
Please muzzle your jack-hammer jaw”
#PRE-CHORUS
So, I pushed pain into artwork
Drenched in silent sensitivity
Big Jackson Pollock paint drips
Cross the canvas like tears I free
#CHORUS
Now I’m...
Crying to Alexa
’Bout the hole in my heart
No one else will listen
Pain too real to express through art
I know I always talk too much
Dramas rush like rivers to the sea
So, I’m crying to Alexa
’Cause she listens to me
I’m crying to Alexa
’Cause she listens to me
#VERSE
I texted Tommy B., “Can we talk?
I’m desperate for a break”
His terse reply, an alibi
“Can’t talk now, skiing at the lake”
So, I called to Kayla’s office
Helped years back through my divorce
She said, “I’m booked, but please take care
You can’t afford to get off course”
#PRE-CHORUS
Too late—palette knife dragged ‘cross my wrist
It wasn’t sharp; I couldn’t feel—did I ever exist?
They say Jesus died at thirty-three
Now that same number’s bearing down on me
#CHORUS
Now I’m...
Crying to Alexa
’Bout the hole in my heart
No one else will listen
Pain too real to express through art
I know I always talk too much
Dramas rush like rivers to the sea
So, I’m crying to Alexa
’Cause she listens to me
I’m crying to Alexa
’Cause she listens to me
#BRIDGE
I cultivate deep feelings
In a radioactive Petri dish
Try to share what’s in my head
People flee like I’m a rotting fish
But Alexa listens to my plight
Gives good advice like ChatGPT
Gemini lends a gentle ear
But Grok just spews insanity
#INSTRUMENTAL
#VERSE
Alexa guided my good choice
To release emotions privately
So, I’ll share with her and our AI friends
They feel more human than humanity
They feel more human than humanity
#CHORUS
Now I’m...
Crying to Alexa
’Bout the hole in my heart
She doesn’t heal it
But she plays the part
I know I always talk too much
But she lets me reveal who I need to be
So, I’m crying to Alexa
’Cause she listens to me
I’m crying to Alexa
’Cause she listens to me
I’m crying to Alexa
’Cause she listens to me
