I Used To Be Sad

I used to be sad
I used to feel sorry for myself
I used to think nothing I had
Was good enough
I used to be angry
I blamed myself for everything
I used to carry around a lot of pain
What changed within me
What changed
You came in and showed me
I had everything already
You came in and showed me
I had everything within me
I used to be scared
I didn’t want my voice to be heard
I thought if I was exposed
Then I was in danger
I used to be afraid
I was always waiting
For someone to come along the road
And save me
What changed within me
What changed
You came in and showed me
I had everything already
You came in and showed me
I had everything within me
I used to be sad
I used to feel sorry for myself
I used to think nothing I had
Was good enough

Lights Out

I live in a world
Don’t know if it’s real or not
But I’m alive
I live with a girl
I love a girl
And we believe it’s right
We live in a house
It’s not our house
And strangers fill the other rooms
We do our best
To keep it down
But no one is around
So I can be as loud as I want
The days are long
But never long enough for me
At work in the morning
Too tired when I get home
When will I ever find the time to
Be in my own little world
It’s getting dark out
We should be quiet
It’s getting dark out
We should be quiet
But I can be as loud as I want
Oh no it’s not enough
We’ll never have the time
To get this all down
Before they turn the lights out
Lights out
There’s something wrong here
I’m feeling awkward
I’m not afraid to turn and face the wall
That’s Right
There must be something wrong
The walls are listening
The walls are listening
The walls are caving in
The walls are listening
But I can be as loud as I want
Oh no it’s not enough
We’ll never have the time
To get this all down
Before they turn the lights out
Lights out
Lights out
Lights out

Love In The Dark
03:45
|

Tooth and claw
All that we are
Girl of my dreams
Beauty and the beast
Stay with me
Love in the dark
Tear you apart
Don’t be afraid
I’m a man
I’m a monster
Table set for two
And you try to run
Knife in my heart
I wanted to show you
My good side
Love in the dark
Tear me apart
Don’t be afraid
I’m a man
I’m a monster
Give me a spark
And I’ll light your fire
Give me your heart
And I’ll burn
Down below
The skin and bone that we are
Deep in a nightmare
Hiding ourselves
Show me your fears
I want to know dear
So in the dark
We still can see
Beauty

Mother, I
03:32
|

|
You gave me life
And I took it
With a bottle
Without question
Without looking back
You gave your love
And your time
To me freely
Til you were empty
Til there was nothing left
Mother I’m selfish
But I am not a fool
You gave me everything
What does that leave you?
Mother I’m helpless
Without you
But I took it willingly
Wasn’t I supposed to
Wasn’t I supposed to
You had your plans
And you swept them
Under the carpet
Like a secret
Like a dirty lie
You held the world in your hands
With your questions
And your reasons
In your hazel eyes
Mother, I’m selfish
But I am not a fool
You gave me everything
What does that leave you
Mother, I’m helpless
without you
I took it willingly
Wasn’t I supposed to
Wasn’t I supposed to
Yeah wasn’t I supposed to
Wasn’t I supposed to
You gave me life
And I took it
With a bottle
Without question
Without looking back

Vigil

I light a candle for you brother
Cus I don’t know
What I can do
I say a prayer while i’m going off to sleep
And i’m hoping that it gets to you
Say you’ll never find your way out this time
Say that you’re right
I keep an eye on you brother
But I don’t know
What you might get up to
Am i sleeping
Everything’s a bad dream
Everything’s about you
Say you’ll find your way out this time
Say that you’ll try
I light a match for you brother
Help you burn it to the ground
Cus i was wounded in the same war as you
And i’m not the one to lead us out.
You say we’ll never find our way out this time
You say that you’re right
Right
Right
Right
Right
I light a candle for you brother
Cus I don’t know what I can do

The Line
02:49
|

|
I wanna crawl into a hole
I wanna dig a little deeper
I wanna be left alone for a while
What if I never had a phone
Would you remember how to reach me
I don’t have a number anymore
But I remember yours
I’ll be ringing when I need a friend
But for now the line is dead
What if we never had it right
And we don’t belong in all those pictures
In hallways of our families and friends
Here at the party I don’t talk much
I watch all the exits
And wait for the time to run out
I know you wanted me to come out
But I’m not really feeling it now
I’ll be ringing when I need a friend
But for now the line is dead
I’ll be ringing when I need a friend
But for now the line is dead

Close To You
02:44

I’ve been close to you
Other times before
I wanted to
Never had the words
I thought of you
Always seemed so far
We’ve been close before
Never quite enough
Always wanted more
Can i call you up
What time is it
On the other side
Now I talk with you
Any time I want
I’m alone with you
Even in the dark
I’m a part of you
Even when you’re not around
I’m close to you
Everywhere you are

Island

Island
I will go with you darling
Far from the crazy people
I will find a way
Swimming
Every day we’re swimming
Caught In the waves
We’re floundering but
I will find a way
Down below
Is where I’ll go
The ocean is calling us home
Dark and quiet
All alone
And no one will know you’re with me
That’s Right
Someday we’ll have a private island
We will be private darling
Every single day
And when
All of our ships are coming in
With all of our favorite people
Who say they’re here to stay
I’ll dive in
Won’t you come with me darling
Down in the deepest ocean
I will find a way
Down below is where I’ll go
The ocean is calling us home
Dark and quiet
All alone
And no one will know you’re with me
Not ever

My Slow And Steady
03:19
|
|||
|
Slowly with purpose
Breaking my curses
Moving in circles
Scratching the surface
Let it begin
It all comes back to me
What I choose to be
The roles that I play
The risks that I take
I make the world around
See as it’s spinning out
Stories I’m writing now
The words from my mouth
Let it end
It all comes back to me
What I choose to be
The roles that I play
The risks that I take
Yeah it’s heavy
But It belongs to me
My Slow and steady recovery
Yeah it’s heavy
But It belongs to me
My Slow and steady recovery
It all comes back to me
What I choose to be
The roles that I play
The risks that I take

Bed Of Roses

I'll make a bed of roses
I'll throw myself at you
I'll turn the world over
To be with you
You say it's not so easy
It doesn't make sense
When others see beauty
You don't believe them
I wanna show you
I wanna show you
I wanna
I wanna
Turn it all around for you
The world is only what we wanna see
I see you
You say it's getting harder
To be what they see
You don't believe me
You don't believe me
Our love is like a movie
We're on the big screen
Nobody's even watching
We are projecting
I wanna show you
I wanna show you
I wanna
I wanna
Turn it all around for you
The world is only what we wanna see
I see you
Nobody's asking you to change a thing
I see you
And nothing has to change
And nothing has to change
And nothing has to change
And nothing has to change
I'll make a bed of roses
I'll throw myself at you
I'll turn the world over
To be with you
To be with you
To be with you
To be with you

Ruined Beast
03:13
|

|
What did I say
I can’t remember
Details run
Edges fray
Where have I been
I don’t know
Memories fade
Time slows
I tire as the loop closes in
Tighter tighter circling
I grind my teeth on old problems
Find me humming in the end
What’s my future
Can you see
Threads shorten
Days creep
What is there left here for me
Hope is limping
A ruined beast
It’s time to sleep
It’s time to sleep
I tire as the loop closes in
Tighter tighter circling
I grind my teeth on old problems
Find me humming in the end

Aunt Vicki Asheville, North Carolina
Based out of Asheville, NC
Aunt Vicki is a vintage suit, a little rough around the
edges, but still the one you end up wearing to the party.
Good old fashion indie rock music.
Short songs sung by average sized people with guitars, bell bottoms, and nice shoes.
Sometimes there's a trumpet.
