Barry 03:43
Verse 1: Barry it’s not that I love you It’s that I love you too much To the point where it isn’t fun Hey Barry this could get heavy and I’m betting like more than a crush Yo we should hook up Chorus: Either love me hard or just go home Either take me far or let me go Either wake me up or let me sleep Either make life fun or let me be Verse 2: Barry you’re not mine you’re still hers And it has got me crushed To the point where I can’t take the sun Yo Barry are you forgetting Remember you’re married And I share with no one And I’m starting to come undone Chorus: Either love me hard or just go home Either take me far or let me go Either wake me up or let me sleep Either make life fun or let me be Bridge: Barry baby Can’t help this feeling Something’s coming over me I can barely breathe So Barry can we Kiss tenderly You know I need you desperately Oh Barry Chorus: Either love me hard or just go home Either take me far or let me go Either wake me up or let me sleep Either make life fun or let me be

So You Say 03:19
Intro: I’ll never know the perfect love Tried to find him but had no luck And it’s not like I’m getting young I guess he doesn’t really need to be hung Verse 1: How come when I’d look he’d turn away? Was there always something on my face? Started believing it had to be something wrong with me And that’s not a good place to be stuck mentally Hook: I’d brag that you were my man And you’d laugh it off whenever they’d ask And I’d go to grab your hand And you what, take 3 steps back I’d politely smile like I wasn’t sad In retrospect I should have fucking ran And I’m sure I would have had I saw the end Foresaw the cold, empty right side of my bed Chorus: So you say you loved me so But I never felt it though You were such an asshole Still, I can’t believe I let you go Verse 2: How come when I smiled he wasn’t there? Was it ‘cause he really didn’t care? Or was it because I was a lot happier on my own? If I had to conclude this now I’d say that’s fair Hook: I’d brag that you were my man And you’d laugh it off whenever they’d ask And I’d go to grab your hand And you what, take 3 steps back I’d politely smile like I wasn’t sad In retrospect I should have fucking ran And I’m sure I would have had I saw the end Foresaw the cold, empty right side of my bed Chorus: So you say you loved me so But I never felt it though You were such an asshole Still, I can’t believe I let you go Bridge: Can’t believe that I let you go Chorus: So you say you loved me so (I’ll never never never never know) But I never felt it though (I’ll never never never never know) You were such an asshole (I’ll never never never never know) Still, I can’t believe I let you go (I’ll never never never never know) Chorus: So you say you loved me so (I’ll never never never never know) But I never felt it though (I’ll never never never never know) You were such an asshole (I’ll never never never never know) Still, I can’t believe I let you go (I’ll never never never never know)

Verse 1: How come Joey and Nicky, Tommy and Larry, Joshie and Gary, Lived life so scary? How come they were so reckless? I tell ya nothing says ‘Father of the Year’ like getting arrested. Hook 1: Why’d they all end up being drug-fiends? Why’d they change as soon as they got with me? Why’s this seem to happen to me, always? It’s not funny! Chorus 1: All the guys that I’ve loved liked drugs. All the guys that I’ve loved, loved their drugs like I like love. Verse 2: How did things get so screwy? How could you do this to me? I thought you were groovy ‘til I smelled his jacuzzi. And I’d know what that’d mean, you were hanging with Davey. There’s more pot in his oven than food in my pantry. Hook 2: Why’d you all end up being drug-fiends? Why’d you change as soon as you got with me? I’m calling you on false advertising. You’re not funny! Chorus 2: All the guys that I’ve loved liked drugs. All the guys that I’ve loved, have loved their drugs like I like love. All the guys that I’ve loved liked drugs. All the guys that I’ve loved, loved their drugs like I like love. Bridge: Maybe it’s just my disposition, the one I have due to weed. Dunno, all I know’s I’m immune to living narcotic-ally. I’m the type of person who likes being in control of my brain. And I’m just so thankful I’m happy enough to live soberly. The night is young, you’re high as fuck. You’re cheating now, and having fun. But now you’re starting to come down, enough to see just what you’ve done. Chorus 2: All the guys that I’ve loved liked drugs. All the guys that I’ve loved, have loved their drugs like I like love. All the guys that I’ve loved liked drugs. All the guys that I’ve loved, loved their drugs like I like love. Chorus 2: All the guys that I’ve loved liked drugs. All the guys that I’ve loved, have loved their drugs like I like love. All the guys that I’ve loved liked drugs. All the guys that I’ve loved, loved their drugs like I like love.

Verse 1: He claimed the pain that you caused him was gone Because you feigned interest in him. He was your pawn And so he was dishonest within his song Because he really knew the truth about you all along Chorus 1: He wasn’t happy. That’s just what he felt he had to say In actuality you stripped his dignity away In reality, his heart, it’d seen better days He was unhealthy, and it was you who made him feel that way Verse 2: You caused him unforgettable pain, but he forgave you So now you can move on with your day, and just be thankful There wasn’t much that he couldn’t see And that’s why you let him down so much, consequently And it sucks, he’d be begging you for love so desperately, but enough was never enough Chorus 2: He wasn’t happy. That’s just what he felt he had to say In reality you stripped all his dignity away In actuality, his heart, it’d seen better days He was unhealthy, and it was you who made him feel that way Chorus 2: He wasn’t happy. That’s just what he felt he had to say In reality you stripped all his dignity away In actuality, his heart, it’d seen better days He was unhealthy, and it was you who made him feel that way Chorus 2: He wasn’t happy. That’s just what he felt he had to say In reality you stripped all his dignity away In actuality, his heart, it’d seen better days He was unhealthy, and it was you who made him feel that way Bridge: And that apocalyptic world that you built for him, and then left him in, was really the sin you’d asked him to forgive So he put your mind at ease and then, he granted you your wish but he’ll never forget Chorus 2: He wasn’t happy. That’s just what he felt he had to say In reality you stripped all his dignity away In actuality, his heart, it’d seen better days He was unhealthy, and it was you who made him feel that way Chorus 2: He wasn’t happy. That’s just what he felt he had to say In reality you stripped all his dignity away In actuality, his heart, it’d seen better days He was unhealthy, and it was you who made him feel that way

My Catalyst 03:45
Verse 1: It’s true what they say you never know what you’ve got ‘til it’s gone You were my everything right down to my sanity my love Hook 1: And when you left you took that last little bit of good in me I know it’s wrong to put all that on you, and I’m sorry, sorry, sorry Chorus: But how would I have known that it was you holding me back from the edge And now that you’re gone I have all but given up. Just waiting for the end Verse 2: I didn’t know I’d end up this way and furthermore I had no clue you’d be my glue I never meant to always fuck up things Why do all paths leads back to my love for you Hook 2: ‘Cause when you left you took that last little bit of good in me I know it’s wrong to put all that on you, and I’m sorry, sorry, sorry Chorus: But how would I have known that it was you holding me back from the edge And now that you’re gone I have all but given up just waiting for the end Bridge: This is quite the scare. I see a little bit of me everywhere I don’t even look in the mirror. Why are there so many Bradley’s out there?

Subhuman 04:09
Hook: Oh you don’t like my socks? Why you don’t like my fucking socks, bitch? How bout now pussy bitch? Do you fucking like my socks now?! Verse 1: Everyone has known at least one of these pricks in their lives. Though you can forget that they even exist over the span of your lifetime, because they're so far and in-between, but it doesn't even fucking change anything. They’re pieces of shit; the worst of mankind, these subhuman slime. Hook: Oh you don’t like my socks? Why you don’t like my fucking socks, bitch? How bout now pussy bitch? Do you fucking like my socks now?! Chorus: Some people weren't meant to raise children. It’s no surprise that those guys ain’t got any friends. Some people weren't meant to have lovers. Those people should end up 6-feet-under. Some assholes they don’t deserve a family, and those asshole better steer clear of Bradley. Some mothers should’ve received a mouthful or some fathers should learn to use the asshole. Verse 2: Everyone has known at least one of these smug, egotistical, narcissistic fucks; Those womanizing fuglies that you try to dodge at all costs, ‘Cause every time you fuckin’ see ‘em your heart turns to frost. They spew their poisonous venom, and you're never glad you met ‘em, because they beat on woman, and they talk down to their children. These sub-par mechanisms can be alcoholic dickheads, and I think that they need to be abolished from existence. Hook: Oh you don’t like my socks? Why you don’t like my fucking socks, bitch? How bout now pussy bitch? Do you fucking like my socks now?! Chorus: Some people weren't meant to raise children. It’s no surprise that those guys ain’t got any friends. Some people weren't meant to have lovers. Those people should end up 6-feet-under. Some assholes they don’t deserve a family, and those asshole better steer clear of Bradley. Some mothers should’ve received a mouthful or some fathers should learn to use the asshole. Bridge: Right now you're under her protection, but once she's fed up playing house with you, ya betcha, you’re free game, and I’m-a fuckin’ getcha. Tie a rope around this brick and fuckin’ sink ya. Some people I’ll fuckin’ hunt ya. Some people I’ll fuckin’ stock ya. Some people I’ll fuckin’ getcha. Some people I’ll fuckin’ sink ya. Chorus: Some people weren't meant to raise children. It’s no surprise that those guys ain’t got any friends. Some people weren't meant to have lovers. Those people should end up 6-feet-under. Some assholes they don’t deserve a family, and those asshole better steer clear of Bradley. Some mothers should’ve received a mouthful or some fathers should learn to use the asshole.

Verse 1: You were like a light always shining I’d love to reach out but they shut down AIM I have a capsule built by us capturing that time and space To reflect and laugh whenever I feel this way Hook 1: You don’t know what it’s done to me to live separately It’s insanity Do you know what it’s like feeling this incomplete Yes I’m self-deprecating Chorus: You the dead limb I can’t take this I can’t take this phantom pain And you know I must sever it and I hate this But I gotta bleed your face away You the dead limb I can’t take this I can’t take this phantom pain And you know I must sever it and I hate this But I gotta bleed your face away Verse 2: You were like a darkness but that shined bright Or at least you made everything around you shine white Hook 2: The random messages hurt me They’re always hard to read But I respond to each and every one that I receive I do it smiling and just save all the crying Chorus: You the dead limb I can’t take this I can’t take this phantom pain And you know I must sever it and I hate this But I gotta bleed your face away You the dead limb I can’t take this I can’t take this phantom pain And you know I must sever it and I hate this But I gotta bleed your face away Bridge: ‘Cause now you’re an infection I’m almost bedridden I’ve got to cut you off Avoid depression before you go gangrene I’d always be stressing that you’d be the death of me Chorus: You the dead limb I can’t take this I can’t take this phantom pain And you know I must sever it and I hate this But I gotta bleed your face away You the dead limb I can’t take this I can’t take this phantom pain And you know I must sever it and I hate this But I gotta bleed your face away Chorus: You the dead limb I can’t take this I can’t take this phantom pain And you know I must sever it and I hate this But I gotta bleed your face away You the dead limb I can’t take this I can’t take this phantom pain And you know I must sever it and I hate this But I gotta bleed your face away

I've Seen 03:47
Verse 1: Here come walk with me Let me show you all of what I see I’ve seen life I’ve seen day tainted with fucked in every way Hook: It has begun But it’s been right here Now wasn’t that fun this whole last year Chorus: Rationalize this and analyze that But don’t long for him ‘cause you got too fat Participate if you wish And try to hold back But remember you get what you give And that’s a fact Verse 2: I’ve seen love I’ve seen hate I’ve seen evil and how they’re interchanged I’ve seen down I’ve seen bad I’ve seen doubts and I’ve seen sad Hook: It has begun But it’s been right here Now wasn’t that fun this whole last year Chorus: Rationalize this and analyze that But don’t long for him ‘cause you got too fat Participate if you wish And try to hold back But remember you get what you give And that’s a fact Bridge: Looking ahead I do see my mistakes and what guided me and How will I go on if I can’t course-correct before my time Chorus: Rationalize this and analyze that But don’t long for him ‘cause you got too fat Participate if you wish And try to hold back But remember you get what you give And that’s a fact
9.
Verse 1: I have risen from the ashes that you left in our wake. It’s here that I’ve remained like a residual spirit. I forgot how to press play on my life. It’s not the same. Hook: You did not hesitate, the day you went away. You sealed my fate. Chorus: You forgot about me. You forgot about us. But you couldn’t see, because you only cared about drugs. You forgot about ‘we.’ You had your head in your butt, so you didn’t see, you didn’t know how to love. Verse 2: I’m battling all of these demons you indirectly left to feast when you left only your dusty memory, but I can’t say that it’s all your fault. They were always haunting, albeit, buried deeply inside me. Hook: You did not hesitate the day you went away. You sealed my fate. Chorus: You forgot about me. You forgot about us. But you couldn’t see, because you only cared about drugs. You forgot about ‘we.’ You had your head in your butt, so you didn’t see, you didn’t know how to love. Bridge: 15 minutes. Now fast-forward to 16 minutes in, and I’m still stuck in it. The same position, only fatter. Chorus: You forgot about me. You forgot about us. But you couldn’t see, because you only cared about drugs. You forgot about ‘we.’ You had your head in your butt, so you didn’t see, you didn’t know how to love

Like 04:32
Verse 1: Like he was gone before I knew it. Like he was lost. Like he was damn lit, and I couldn’t pretend that I was cool with the situation when we’d had the talk on several occasions, and at what cost? Only our friendship. Like that’s not something that always comes along. Chorus: You were not the one for me. You never were, and that still hurts. You, like so many before, lost your worth. You weren’t the first. Verse 2: And he wiped off her purple lipstick, like he was boss. Like I didn’t see it, and I could not go back down that road with him again when he’d lost my trust. I’m like so over this. It was all his fault. It really was simplistic, and what’s so sad is that this didn’t have to be a negative song. Chorus: You were not the one for me. You never were, and that still hurts. You, like so many before, lost your worth. You weren’t the first. Bridge: I have lost my innocence. I’m a lost cause, like I’m no longer with it, and life it lost its thrill for me so long ago. Like I have evolved into what I couldn’t tell you, but it’s not fun, and although it didn’t happen in one fell swoop, it still happened because of you. Chorus: You were not the one for me. You never were, and that still hurts. You, like so many before, lost your worth. You weren’t the first. Chorus: You were not the one for me. You never were, and that still hurts. You, like so many before, lost your worth. You weren’t the first.

Verse 1: If one thing gets you down pretty soon you can’t even see the -the sunshine through the clouds, but the odds keep stacking up a- against you all around. Have you back against a wall where you sob crouched, and unsound. Facing a corner you cry. Hook 1: One stone’s throw away from home, and yet you still feel so far away. Chorus 1: That’s when you know you’re home. It smells like pot and cheap incense. You know you’re home home. Feel secure enough when you’re alone. It smells like pot and cheap incense. Verse 2: Yeah, sometimes life can suck. Sometimes 'kill me' even, and you’ll want to give up, and at the same time you keep breathing, but you’ve still gotta deal with all the schmucks even when your heart is bleeding. Especially when you feel fucked, and in spite of all the demons. Hook 2: They do not own your soul, so don’t let them trick you, and make you think... Chorus 2: that you’re not home. It smells like pot and cheap incense. You know you’re home. You know you’re home. You know you’re... Feel secure enough when you’re alone. It smells like pot and cheap incense. Bridge: And I gave, and I gave, and I gave into my bitch ass. I hoped I would get some satisfaction back, and I dug down, deep, right into the crypts of my soul, in fact, to find the shit that makes my soul work unpatchably cracked. I found this huge ass bull, ya know, angry at the world, man. There to attack fans and friends and without dudes red flag. I uncovered this volcano of emotions, and whack crap, and they say ‘dude relax’ when shit, it knocked me right on my ass. My chest hurt, and I couldn’t breathe. I had a relapse of life back when I was young, and all I seen was my dad, and his fist right up in my grill, and those bruises on my back, but his words are what hurt, and stuck the most, like ‘sissy’ and ‘fag’... Chorus 3: It smells like pot and cheap incense. -all because he was flying higher than a bat, and even when he didn’t have a bag. It smells like pot and cheap incense. -all because he was flying higher than a bat, and even when he didn’t have a bag.

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
