Castaway 03:58
Verse 1: There I go again bragging I’m the shit All I ever did I’ve learned to never do again I’m so uncool and I’m so blind Didn’t ever stop to think or even ask why You didn’t like me You’re so unkind And I’m so not wise My heart cries As my flaws shine my heart dies No mercy from your negative vibes Link 1 : Unwillingly I’ve lived so nobly You never liked me honestly And you told me so carelessly Hook: And I know that I’ll live so unsure of my shit So I’ll quit worrying about lip from some hick Ignore it not hear it or I’ll live ignorant Cause of some bitch Chorus: Castaway I’m just your average castaway Not much to see here just a castaway Castaway Verse 2: There I go laughing with who I think are my friends All I ever did I’ve learned to never do again I’m overruled I wish I’d just die Never even tried just to see why You didn’t like me You lived so spitefully With your selfish lies and your phony lines My whole life’s been a lie and I’m so hurt by Your filthy minds I should have seen the signs Link 2: Unbeautifully You treated me so bitterly You had me fooled so carefully Then you told me so carelessly Hook: And I know that I’ll live so unsure of my shit So I’ll quit worrying about lip from some hick Ignore it not hear it or I’ll live ignorant Cause of some bitch Chorus: Castaway I’m just your average castaway Not much to see here just a castaway Castaway Castaway I’m just your average castaway Not much to see here just a castaway Castaway Bridge: Some things they never change Just like you are still horrid to this day You’re so unkind to everyone you meet And therefore you are bitter and alone today Chorus: Castaway I’m just your average castaway Not much to see here just a castaway Castaway Castaway I’m just your average castaway Not much to see here just a castaway Castaway

Verse 1: I cried every single night in a house full of alarms It was safe but it didn’t keep me from harm Because I’d die every time you went back to his arms Hook: And I think a million things like “He’ll be back. We’ll be okay. He’s just in need of some space, Away from here away from me” And it hurts my head to think that I made you my everything But you and me were never meant to be Yes I finally see that Chorus: You weren’t meant for me (x4) Verse: I cried every night when you didn’t come home And then we’d fight until I’d asked you to go Then like on repeat I’d cry to myself alone Hook: And I’d say silly things yo All the time like every day Knowing you weren’t my destiny But hell “Let’s just get married anyway!” And that hurts my head to say When I made you my everything But you and me were never meant to be Yes I finally see that Chorus: You weren’t meant for me (x4) Bridge: I cried every single night in a house full of alarms It was safe but it didn’t keep me from harm Chorus: You weren’t meant for me (x4)

Verse 1: Hello nice of you to come and see me again I wonder if you’re finally gonna let me in On your little secret And that’s that you’re in love with me Bashfully adorable you are If you only knew the innards of my heart That I love you too Mmm that I always have That you sing the same tune That’s always stuck in my head Ut-oh Chorus: Ut oh I promise that I wont show You that I already know Ut oh That you’re always crushin Ut oh Crushin up on me Verse 2: Hello again lets both sit here and just play pretend Lets act all kosure like you and I are just friends Even though you want me But you donno I want you too Spontaneously inviting you are And endearingly clever you are by far I just wish you knew that That I wanted you bad Mmm and that you gave me my heart back Brought meaning to my life again Chorus: Ut oh I promise that I wont show You that I already know Ut oh That you’re always crushing Ut oh Crushing up on me Bridge: Ut-oh I’m gonna take you by surprise Ut-oh express all that I hide Ut-oh I’ll just let it out some night All in due time Ut-oh Ut-oh Ut-oh Chorus: Ut oh I promise that I wont show You that I already know Ut oh That you’re always crushing Ut oh Crushing up on me

Verse 1: 5 years ago we hit a fork in the road 5 years ago we left ‘us’ alone 5 years ago we’d both had enough 5 years ago we’d done a little growing up Hook: And there’s no going back Though sometimes I wish that Chorus: I could travel back in time That I could witness you and I Sharing hugs, a family life Making love all through the night I’d skip over all the fights Take all the wrongs and make them rights And turn on all the lights Then erase our last goodbye Verse 2: 9 years ago you and I first met up 9 years ago I thought that I had met love 9 years ago things began to get rough 9 years ago was the beginning of the end of us Hook: And there’s no going back Though sometimes I wish that Chorus: I could travel back in time That I could witness you and I Sharing hugs, a family life Making love all through the night I’d skip over all the fights Take all the wrongs and make them rights And turn on all the lights Then erase our last goodbye

Verse 1: I was all up on the “Yo I gotta get that” You was on the down-low all like “gotta creep that” Baby that made us clash Sorry I wont hit back But I gotta new plan Got myself a new man And he rock a mustache And he isn’t brain-dead Unlike some other men Beef with me I’m warning You won’t like the backlash See you in the morning I’ma have to kick ass Knock you to the floor then Choke you with my necklace Surrounded by your rednecks Burn you in your coffin Then get myself some breakfast Then get my kitty petted With my man’s erection Because my ass is precious Something you didn’t get And that you never did But I’m not complaining Cause everything you said Didn’t mean a thing then And time didn’t change shit Only makes me forget Our partnership existed I’m so over it Hook: This is the part of the song where the singer has a nervous breakdown Well sorry to let you down But I’m all cried out For now Chorus: Baby baby you were my one and only love Baby you were the only one mmm Almost like you were sent from the sweet sweet lord above But now baby you’re the lonely one Verse 2: I was all hip to your game of trying to play me Didn’t think that I seen you was being shady Boy you must be crazy Obviously You ain’t seen me lately Cause you know your death’d be Sadly untimely Boy I’m just reminding You of all my findings JK I’m just unwinding And I’m busy laughing That you’re asinine And I’m also grabbing My straw that you ain’t grasping Hook: This is the part of the song where the singer has a nervous breakdown Well sorry to let you down But I’m all cried out For now Chorus: Baby baby you were my one and only love Baby you were the only one mmm Almost like you were sent from the sweet sweet lord above But now baby you’re the lonely one Bridge: Baby you’re the lonely one Now you’re just the lonely one Baby you’re the lonely one Now you’re just the lonely one Baby you’re the lonely one Chorus: Baby baby you were my one and only love Baby you were the only one mmm Almost like you were sent from the sweet sweet lord above But now baby you’re the lonely one

Verse 1: If you walk out that door then don’t you ever come back (I swear I’ll change the locks to it) And shut it if you’ve got issues with your dad because I’m not that kind of man (and I hate the comparison) Just because you’re skinny now doesn’t mean you are attractive (enough to wear that bitch face baby) You just keep yacking it up as if anyone knows you’re there (Google is our friend and not your point prover) Chorus: It’s because you’re my friend These things go on unsaid Because I’ve got to much class To call you by your name Either that or I’m tame And I’m just too nice to say That you make me decay More and more everyday And it’s just far too late You make me feel unpretty And not at all nice to me So just have a nice day But get your shit and just leave I am over this game And above all your ways Verse 2: If u wanna get yourself some more friends then stop being so negative (Negativity tends to bring people down) If you think that your shit don’t stink then please don’t waste your time on me (I’ve had my fair share of pompous jerk-wads) If you hate me so much then why you even in my life still (Seems that I’m the best that you will ever do) If you need to be told that you’re cute then please just go hang with the fuglies (No one looks good wearing insecurity) Chorus: It’s because you’re my friend These things go on unsaid Because I’ve got to much class To call you by your name Either that or I’m tame And I’m just too nice to say That you make me decay More and more everyday And it’s just far too late You make me feel unpretty And not at all nice to me So just have a nice day But get your shit and just leave I am over this game And above all your ways Bridge: I love you by the way Even though the things you say Are so underneath me Unkind and uncaring Chorus: It’s because you’re my friend These things go on unsaid Because I’ve got to much class To call you by your name Either that or I’m tame And I’m just too nice to say That you make me decay More and more everyday And it’s just far too late You make me feel unpretty And not at all nice to me So just have a nice day But get your shit and just leave I am over this game And above all your ways

Inflate Me 03:18
Verse 1: I’d deflate over not being able to find somebody loving Then I’d deflate over the people who actually loved me Then I’d deflate when I was solely made a fuck-buddy And here years later I’m deflated cause I enjoy my monogamy Chorus 1: What the hell is wrong with me There’s just no pleasing me You’ve gotta hurry So you can inflate me Verse 2: I’d deflate if the guy I idolized didn’t notice me But I’m the one who’d hide myself so stupidly Call it fear of rejection or a blatant lack of trying But needless to say I have only myself to blame Chorus 2: There’s just no in-between But times-a-wasting And you have got to hurry So you can inflate me Bridge: In all honesty It’s a no win sitchy But secretly a part of me Is so effing happy From a whore for love in the early 90s To a hermit currently The deflation shows up sporadically To remind me there is no pleasing me Chorus 1: What the hell is wrong with me There’s just no pleasing me You’ve gotta hurry So you can inflate me Deflate deflated Inflate me

Verse 1: Not long ago I lived through an internal war Cause I was unique I thought that I couldn’t be the norm I didn’t hesitate to always put myself down But that all changed the day that I had a look around Hook: And I’m Never gonna blend in Thank god I’m never gonna blend in Cause It’s not what I want No it’s not what I want Chorus 1: Nap she gave me hope David he gave me hope Mom she gave me hope Sis she gave me hope Unique it doesn’t mean weird Nap she gave me hope David he gave me hope Mom she gave me hope Sis she gave me hope Unique is everywhere Verse 2: For the longest time I mistook the word unique as odd So I obviously thought that something about me was off And as an outcome I let others put me down I never stopped to think that out the box could make them wow Hook: And I’m Never gonna blend in Thank god I’m never gonna blend in Cause It’s not what I want No it’s not what I want Chorus 2: Nap she gave me hope David he gave me hope Mom she gave me hope Sis she gave me hope Unique doesn’t mean strange Nap she gave me hope David he gave me hope Mom she gave me hope Sis she gave me hope Unique all over me Nap she gave me hope David he gave me hope Mom she gave me hope Sis she gave me hope Unique doesn’t mean strange Nap she gave me hope David he gave me hope Mom she gave me hope Sis she gave me hope Unique unique is winning Nap she gave me hope David he gave me hope Mom she gave me hope Sis she gave me hope Unique doesn’t mean weird Nap she gave me hope David he gave me hope Mom she gave me hope Sis she gave me hope Unique all over me

Soar 03:39
Verse 1: He sure did build an empire ‘Till they took it all that night I won’t pretend to understand it But his work made him a happy guy Hook 1: He used to soar away the day ‘Till they took his sacred place Then he just drank his life away Chorus: That man he gave me my wings and ambition That man he taught my spirit to fly high But after his dreams of soaring were all grounded He took one last drink cocked his head to the side And then died Verse 2: He sure was inspiring The way he built it all up from scratch Made community where there wasn’t one Then they turned on him when times got tough Hook 2: When they used to soar away their days Courtesy of Dave All because Dave he gave them wings Chorus: That man he gave me my wings and ambition That man he taught my spirit to fly high But after his dreams of soaring were all grounded He took one last drink cocked his head to the side Bridge: Give that man’s family back their property Leave them his legacy You’ve got to make it right You have the chance to be bigger now So don’t you let them down Just let his spirit soar high Chorus: That man he gave me my wings and ambition That man he taught my spirit to fly high But after his dreams of soaring were all grounded He took one last drink cocked his head to the side Chorus: That man he gave me my wings and ambition That man he taught my spirit to fly high But after his dreams of soaring were all grounded He took one last drink cocked his head to the side And then died

Verse 1: And I’m sick to death of all the shit I go through with you all time And I’m sick to death of you always putting me second in your line And I just hate it that you can’t ever make up your mother fucking mind So it’s too late for us I bid you farewell and leave your ass behind Chorus (x2): When I’m a trend setter go getter And that don’t leave you at all satisfied You bed wetter I can do better Time to return all of your grime Verse 2: And I’m sick to death of you always pretending that you’re blind And I’m sick to death of always listening to you fucking whine And I just hate it that you can’t ever make up your mother fucking mind So it’s too late for you I salute you for being left behind Chorus (x2): When I’m a trend setter go getter And that don’t leave you at all satisfied You bed wetter I can do better Time to return all of your grime Bridge: Mama said that you weren’t worth my time And as much as it sucks I think that she was right Sister showed me that you could cross the line Daughter made me realize that without you I’ll be fine Chorus (x2): When I’m a trend setter go getter And that don’t leave you at all satisfied You bed wetter I can do better Time to return all of your grime

Verse 1: Sitting here with a pen in my hand trying to write But I can’t see the paper cause it’s dark outside. There is no light Rather then goin’ for the switch I sit and I stare. I don’t even try Cause something bout the shadowy night makes me feel all alive Chorus: I’m having a Brad moment And it’s hard to own up it Enthralling me. I’m frozen Like, into me, it’s woven Or that part of me is broken Or parts of me were stolen The darkness is so open And I’m falling into the abyss Verse 2: I’m numb inside now and I’m not sure why I don’t wanna question it because then I may start to cry Besides it’s not so bad sitting here in the dark. I kinda like the high So just keep your distance from me or you may spark a fight Chorus: I’m having a Brad moment And it’s hard to own up it Enthralling me. I’m frozen Like, into me, it’s woven Or that part of me is broken Or parts of me were stolen The darkness is so open And I’m falling into Bridge: Most my life I’ve tried to escape. Run away But I’m playin a losing game Always knew there’d come a day where I’d say “fuck it” And then I would just jump right into it Chorus: I’m having a Brad moment And it’s hard to own up it Enthralling me. I’m frozen Like, into me, it’s woven Or that part of me is broken Or parts of me were stolen The darkness is so open And I’m falling into the abyss

Titus? Or tight ass? LoL What’s it gonna take to get a phone call? Do I have to write a song and name it after him to get a phone call? Well, is this here song that I wrote for you worth a phone call? Is my undying homosexual love worth a phone call? Ready?!?! Don’t Blink!!! I’m having a Zack attack And It feels like a heart attack And I don’t know what holds him Back When I just wanna hit the sack But there’s only one thing I lack And by now we all know that So everyone make a pact To have Zack Ward call Brad!!

I’m a drop dead Diva, and they say you is a pleaza Without you I am lost I got some dead wood I’m like Freddy with no pennies and a ghost dog I know it’s kinda sketchy livin’ in the void of no love I’m having a Zack attack And It feels like a heart attack And I don’t know what holds him Back When I just wanna hit the sack But there’s only one thing I lack And by now we all know that So everyone make a pact To have Zack Ward call Brad!!

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
