Verse 1: There’s not a thing you could say now That would ever erase how You made me feel down and out (And then reveled while I was down) My ambition might be unfound But at least my soul is still unbound Guys like you are still not allowed (Though that doesn’t stop them from coming around) Hook: I think I wanted love a little more than I wanted you (In love I feared that you could never be - at least not with me and) I think that a big part of me actually hated you too (I think it was the idea that we lacked any sort of normalcy) Chorus: No need to surrender I’m not coming for you So go out on your bender And get yourself a likeminded dude There’ll be no more needless pressure Your debts are forgiven Now go clear out your dresser You’re no longer my alleged victim Verse 2: There’s not a whole lot of love left When you split I became less You left a hole deep in my chest (And now my eyes are always wet) And now my head is such a mess Dunno why I never fled It’s not like you and I ever wed (Guess I liked the pain that you’d inflict instead) Hook: I think I wanted love a little more than I wanted you (In love I feared that you could never be - at least not with me and) I think that a big part of me actually hated you too (I think it was the idea that we lacked any sort of normalcy) Chorus: No need to surrender I’m not coming for you So go out on your bender And get yourself a likeminded dude There’ll be no more needless pressure Your debts are forgiven Now go clear out your dresser You’re no longer my alleged victim Bridge: How did I live that whole time With doubts of our life nearly every night When inside I fought myself until I died And all of my fears and self-loathing how are you the victim and not I? Chorus (x2): No need to surrender I’m not coming for you So go out on your bender And get yourself a likeminded dude There’ll be no more needless pressure Your debts are forgiven Now go clear out your dresser You’re no longer my alleged victim

Verse 1: I know I’m not the first one to take this journey and I won’t be the last I only wish there was help for me but there is no one or anything, alas Hook 1: And the fact is I’m already gone now I'm not the man who once made you so proud And although it's sad, trust you won’t want me around no more 'Cause it happens so fast Chorus: Don't remember me as all this Remember me when I wasn't split or being forced to dig this grave I’m in or being forced into this metamorphosis “Reminisce,” sure, but try not to “miss” I’m no longer “him” Now I’m counterfeit There’s no escaping it A bottomless pit where no light omits in metamorphosis Verse 2: I never did expect I’d understand the final words of Tim I’d like to think I could handle it, but just look what it did to him Hook 2: And what sucks is I’m already half way there As I write this, I’m glad you stay unaware ‘Cause I’d die if I brought you into my nightmare And it happens in a flash Chorus (x2): Don't remember me as all this Remember me when I wasn't split or being forced to dig this grave I’m in or being forced into this metamorphosis “Reminisce,” sure, but try not to “miss” I’m no longer “him” Now I’m counterfeit There’s no escaping it A bottomless pit where no light omits in metamorphosis Chorus: Don't remember me as all this Remember me when I wasn't split or being forced to dig this grave I’m in or being forced into this metamorphosis “Reminisce,” sure, but try not to “miss” I’m no longer “him” Now I’m counterfeit There’s no escaping it A bottomless pit where no light omits in metamorphosis Bridge: Traveling for a long, long time Knowing that once I get there I will die But I sail along I sail alone I sail along Chorus: Don't remember me as all this Remember me when I wasn't split or being forced to dig this grave I’m in or being forced into this metamorphosis “Reminisce,” sure, but try not to “miss” I’m no longer “him” Now I’m counterfeit There’s no escaping it A bottomless pit where no light omits in metamorphosis Don’t remember Reminisce, sure Chorus: Don't remember me as all this Remember me when I wasn't split or being forced to dig this grave I’m in or being forced into this metamorphosis “Reminisce,” sure, but try not to “miss” I’m no longer “him” Now I’m counterfeit There’s no escaping it A bottomless pit where no light omits in metamorphosis

Verse 1: I took you for granted Assumed you’d be mine forever just to have Kind of funny how it all happened It was a fear of mine that outlasted Hook 1: The rational me (I hate myself) The remorseful me (I hate myself) From within I plead (I love myself) But to no avail it’s still bleak (I hate myself) Chorus: I watch as the scale tips Dumbstruck But I stay fastened in And I don’t get up I hate that I’m fascinated Think that I’ve lost touch Maybe I’m emasculated This is more than bad luck Yes it is Verse 2: You saw but you didn’t know We fought cause I didn’t know how to let you go Hook 2: What a waste of me (I hate myself) Not an ounce of humanity (I hate myself) No light left to see (I fear myself) No good left of me (I loath myself) Chorus: I watch as the scale tips Dumbstruck But I stay fastened in And I don’t get up I hate that I’m fascinated Think that I’ve lost touch Maybe I’m emasculated This is more than bad luck Yes it is I’m done Chorus: I watch as the scale tips Dumbstruck But I stay fastened in And I don’t get up I hate that I’m fascinated Think that I’ve lost touch Maybe I’m emasculated This is more than bad luck Yes it is I’m done Bridge: How many days ‘til I’m full-on unhinged How many ways have I predicted this Chorus: I watch as the scale tips Dumbstruck But I stay fastened in And I don’t get up I hate that I’m fascinated Think that I’ve lost touch Maybe I’m emasculated This is more than bad luck Yes it is I’m done Chorus: I watch as the scale tips Dumbstruck But I stay fastened in And I don’t get up I hate that I’m fascinated Think that I’ve lost touch Maybe I’m emasculated This is more than bad luck Yes it is I’m done

Verse 1: I’ve been feeling ambitious ever since we first met. So I have to call you to tell you I think we’re a perfect set. The way you make me feel I swear to you I’ll never forget. I think I love you bae, but lets not get ahead. Hook 1: So I call feeling fantastic. Wanna tell you that I’m feeling ecstatic. Wanna see if you think what we have is magic. But what I find instead leaves me flabbergasted. Chorus: I’m sorry but the number you’re trying to reach is no longer in service. Goodbye. (Goodbye.) I’m sorry but the number you’re trying to reach has been disconnected. Goodbye. (Goodbye.) Verse 2: I’ve been re-contemplating it all and guess what, you’re still in my debt. And you’ll remain there, love, for as long as you’re in my head. Can’t believe I once thought of you as a fuck-ing perfect-10. One day I know I’ll feel good, and loved. The question is when. Hook 2: ‘Cause I called feeling fantastic. Wanted to tell you I was feeling ecstatic. Wanted to see if you thought what we had was magic. But what I found instead left me flabbergasted. Chorus: I’m sorry but the number you’re trying to reach is no longer in service. Goodbye. (Goodbye.) I’m sorry but the number you’re trying to reach has been disconnected. Goodbye. (Goodbye.) Bridge: There’s so many things I had to say; so many ways that I felt changed. Thought you’d care since you’re the one that fixed me up, made me feel loved, and now I’m crushed. And it’s you I blame, you’re just the same as all men, lame. Forget my name, forget we came. It isn’t fair. We had spunk, we had flare. I called you but there was no one there. Chorus: I’m sorry but the number you’re trying to reach is no longer in service. Goodbye. (Goodbye.) I’m sorry but the number you’re trying to reach has been disconnected. Goodbye. (Goodbye.) Chorus/End: I’m sorry but the number you’re trying to reach is no longer in service. Goodbye. (Goodbye.) I’m sorry.,. What in the actual fuck!?! .,.Trying to reach.,. Did I seriously get fake numbered?! Goodbye. Goodbye. Damn! Goodbye.

What I Found 02:54
Verse 1: It didn’t happen when I was young Yet they all seem to think that it does It only happened when I grew the fuck up This is what it looks like. Is this too much? Hook 1: So I shut off all the music and I just sat there in silence until the answers started to pour in. And boy did they pour. Chorus: And this is what I found I found out why I’m all alone Because no one’s ever made me whole And ‘cause no one’s ever cared to know And so this is what I found, bae And why I now have to go And what exactly made it so And what turns somebody’s heart to stone Verse 2: I should be dead now I should be gone Yet here I sit like I’m growing young And every day’s like “Isn’t it about time?

Marooned 03:56
Verse 1: My inner voice, man it’s such a bitch My blue eyes moist, and I start feeling sick I don’t have a choice, I just have to deal with it I sit here as it destroys my very sad existence We’re all our own worst critics When you’re all alone, it’s a voice that starts to rip Apart everything you know, and the very way you live And it leaves no room to grow, so we start to lose our grip Chorus: And I’m standing here all confused But I don’t blame it all on you And I’m starting to feel consumed besides what have I got to lose? It’s like I’ve already been marooned I’ve already played the fool And my simple life went kaboom I don’t wanna go back to school Verse 2: Although I can’t say when I first started noticing The distinctive awful bend of this fragile state I’m in My psyche is not my friend, now I’m not sure that I’ll mend And the wounds that I now have foreshadow the scary end And there is no light while you’re in the devil’s den And it doesn’t feel alright in here while it’s happening And my conscience it can bleed only it cannot be seen So the mind’s eye doesn’t see while it’s in this in-between Chorus: And I’m standing here all confused But I don’t blame it all on you And I’m starting to feel consumed besides what have I got to lose? It’s like I’ve already been marooned I’ve already played the fool And my simple life went kaboom I don’t wanna go back to school Bridge: I don’t know what happened here I’m in shock it’s still unclear I’m not sure that a god is near All I know is nothing stops this, stops this fear Chorus: And I’m standing here all confused But I don’t blame it all on you And I’m starting to feel consumed besides what have I got to lose? It’s like I’ve already been marooned I’ve already played the fool And my simple life went kaboom I don’t wanna go back to school

Verse 1: So many guys like ‘em rough They say things like “Don’t want no woman” You think that you’re manly but dude you still take it up the butt Maybe spend less of your time with acting You know, frontin’ like you’re really manly And ponder how to make your guy happy, instead That’s why I gots to have me Chorus: A fem boyfriend Yes fem boyfriend A guy with compassion Won’t you be my fem boyfriend A guy who listens My fem boyfriend A guy who reasons I want you as my boyfriend Verse 2: Why waste your time trying to act “straight” When it isn‘t cute it’s kind of annoying It’s the cause of every headache guys like you and I have ever had Feminine guys still have pecs And biceps for miles on end Every bit as much of a man Only they’re competent That’s why I gots to have me Chorus: A fem boyfriend Yes fem boyfriend A guy with compassion Won’t you be my fem boyfriend A guy who listens My fem boyfriend A guy who reasons I want you as my boyfriend

Verse 1: There was no substance in your eyes I sat back and watched you fucking die inside There was no warmth in your touch I sat back and watched you just not give a fuck Hook: And I waited and I waited and I waited but you never did Chorus: Snap out of it Come back to life Because you’re missed A dimming light Verse 2: In the beginning when we first met You were so resilient and charismatic But over the years you let yourself go And I sat back and watched you as you lost your glow Hook: And I waited and I waited and I waited but you never did Chorus: Snap out of it Come back to life Because you’re missed A dimming light [break] Chorus (2x): Snap out of it Come back to life Because you’re missed A dimming light

Crying Tears 03:02

Bradley Voorhees East Syracuse, New York

Who doesn't enjoy an interesting indie artist? Am I good, am I bad? Who knows. Guess we'll all have to wait and see. Yes, "we" 'cause not even I know myself anymore. I think that really comes out in the tunes though. Who knows, perhaps it may be you who can help solve a mystery? Yeah, I like a lot of retro television :D But I'll be there for you, if you're there for me too! Ha ... more
