In Your Soul (Deep Down) c. 14 Vlayman You've got a problem and it just keeps gettin' worse You'd like to solve it but you're thinkin' that you're cursed It ain't like hellfire raining down from above, no It's how you went and fucked up everyone you loved You took the money and you mebbe took a life There was smoke and shots and shit and and the mask just was'nt fittin' right and when your eyes got covered you let one off toward the lights While runnin' out you heard a scream, you knew it wasn't right I think you already know I think you're ready to go I think you already know Deep down in your soul It wasn't long ago, actually, the week before You parked yer ass on that bar stool and met yourself a whore And you went upstairs and spent some time and money you didn't have And your baby girls were still at home and you knew you shouldn't have If it weren't for drugs and likker you wouldn't get too far If it weren't for drugs and likker you'd not be the man you are A helluva man so big and strong takin' whatever you want A gun or a knife or even your fists, you like to fuck 'em up But the years take their toll in or out of the joint you ain't gettin' no further Your family's gone, even your mom, your own kids never knew their father It ain't like there was hellfire raining down from above, no It's how you and you alone went and fucked up everyone you loved Drums: Vezina (Soulmate) Bass: Alvz-Marlboro-AKGp2-Brick-dbx160XT Vox: SennMD511-Summit-RNC G&Lf100-ProJr-MD421II-ISA1 G&Lf100-ProJr-Superlux-ISA1

Abandoned Beauty c. '14 Vlayman Seeing things that aren't really there, seeing gold woven in your hair Seeing love deep within your eyes, it ain't there Seeing people that I never met, remembering things that I meant to forget Seeing love deep within your eyes, with regret Life ain't like your favorite movie And you ain't no abandoned beauty Hearing how I rode to your rescue, now come on honey, you know that ain't no truth Seeing love deep within your eyes, but you don't groove me Feeling like you are the center, what you really are never really enters your mind Seeing love deep within your eyes, it's so unkind but Life ain't like your favorite movie And you ain't no abandoned beauty Life ain't like your favorite movie And you ain't no abandoned beauty Drums: street noise Bass: Alvz(BassMuff)-Eureka-dbxa60XT Vox: SM7b-EurekaNoComp-1176 Alvz(BassMuff)-Eureka-dbxa60XT Gtr: G&L F100-ProJr-ISA1

about

Vlayman Chicago, Illinois

Fat, bald and old - could I be anymo' rock-n-roll?
I play guitar, bass, some keys and percussion, and I try to vocalize. I write and record, and I do so obsessively. Also, I like martoonies, a lot, and I raise my kids, whom I also like, a lot.
Look for me at the TapeOp and TalkBass forums, where I'm vvv, or in various bars in the Loop.
