Written 2011 Baton Rouge, LA

lyrics

A common girl
She was very plain
But simple in
That old fashioned way

She gave me food
And place to stay
That girl cared for
In a hundred ways

I took to her
Against my will
I drank too much
And stayed high on pills

I bottomed out
Like my fate was sealed
She remained
So completely real

She let me lie
With her in bed
I was using her

I'd hear her cry
I knew her stead
I was unconcerned

I was insecure
And had much to prove
And it mattered not that much
Really what I'd do

I could've won the race
Or a mountain moved
Still a hole remained
That I filled with booze

[Cut Verse:
I felt despair
I thought of Satre
For I'd played a game
Inauthentic parts
Life pierced my side
So I tore her apart
'Cause of wounded pride
I broke her heart]

She'd let me lie
With her in bed
I was using her

I'd hear her cry
I knew her stead
I was unconcerned

Alt Verses
We played like kids
We spoke in tongues
In Arkansas
When we were young
We saw the light
We took the drug
Our futures bright
And filled with love

In darker dreams
In witches brews
I gurgled 'neath them
Like a dangling noose
And when it came
Time to choose
I chose to blame
Not me, but you

Reece Sullivan Lafayette, Louisiana

Originally from Arkansas, and now in Lafayette, LA, I play the surrounding areas regularly. Over the course of the years, I've reinvented myself musically many times: piano to guitar, classical to art rock, art rock to folk, flat picking to finger-picking, solely songwriting to performing. My latest incarnation has me playing out often, sometimes touring, and writing and recording consistently. ... more
