I Drew A Zero (Except that You're in My Life)

about

Written Spring 2012 Baton Rouge, LA

lyrics

When I was about twenty, babe
I made a mess of my life
Hard to just call a phase
Hard to romanticize

Many dark beds I've lain
Many deep deaths I've died
All a lot of self made pain
Hard to not criticize

And I drew a zero, babe
Except that you're here in my life
And there ain't nothing I would change
For fear that it'd jeoprodize

[Cut Stanza:
I traveled and found that I
Desired almost endless things
And could never be satisfied
And found I'd no choice but sing]

Like a fool I believed that art
Would grow the more drugs I'd do
Or the more that I flayed my heart
Like a stupid and naive fool

I drew a zero, babe
Except that you're in my life
There ain't nothing I would change
For fear that it'd jeoprodize

An idealist I've been at heart
Heavenly goals I've always set
With my life and my love and my art
But those goals I ain't never met

[Cut Stanza:
I've been a drunk for so long
In a thwarted search for the divine
Thinking I'd reach through my song
To a place far beyond my own time]

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
