Better Off

You said that I'd be better off
That later I would thank you and this pain it wouldn't last long
You said that it would be so hard
But soon I would find all everything I'd ever wanted
Woman, it still is you
You're still the only one I choose
Honey, you were so wrong
When you said that I'd be better off
Look at me now
You've hoisted up my anchor and you set me free to sail
You cast me out
Without a map or compass, without a point of refference
You were my lighthouse
You showed me the way home to the only one I'd ever known
Look at me now
You said that I'd be better off, I've never been so lost before, I've never been so lost
You put me in a bottle
I suppose it's only fitting just the way that I'd been drinking in
Tell me, is this drowning?
I know that I'm still sinking, I'm afraid I might be breathing in
I'm waiting for your rescue
I'm out at sea please come find me
I've been gone for so long
You called off the search you're off the case you cut me off when all was lost when all was lost you cut me off

Don't Call

Don't call me up with nothing to say
Don't crawl back acting like nothing has changed
If our paths get to crossing keep walking away
Don't recognize me don't you dare speak my name
Don't call out for me, babe
And I promise I won't do the same
Don't wake up crying, shaking from fear
Don't reach over startled when you see I'm not there
If the night time get's cold darling tuck yourself in
Don't lie awake thinking what should have been
Don't reach out for me, babe
And I promise I won't do the same
Don't hate yourself for running away
Don't cross your mind with me don't let your heart ache
The tough they get going when the going gets tough
Now you've got to forget how you had just given up
Don't hate yourself, babe
And I promise I won't do the same

Tell Me How

Can you tell me how do you hate me?
Compare me to a bad day at work
Say I'm like the dad that made you hurt
I'm the catch that snags and tears your favorite shirt
Can you tell me how do you hate me now?
Will you count the ways I'm not what you need?
List for me all the times I let you down
Make believe I'm lower than the ground
Cut my balls and kick me when I'm down
Will you count the ways you needed someone else?
Can we talk about how dreadful I was?
Like a wretched stinking dog from which you'd run
So miserable you had no choice but give up
However did you live with such disgust?
Can we talk about how dreadful I was?
Now honey, listen to me, it's my turn to speak
It might make you sick to know how much I loved you
To know I had a reason
I'd finally found a reason to live
Honey, you were it
Can you tell me how do you hate me?
Describe in full the fool you think I am
How slim the chance there has been ever less a man
How you'd rather die a thousand fiery deaths than ever see my face again
Will you tell me how?

Just a Dream
05:30

I make my coffee
I brush my teeth
Step into my my shoes
And move to the street
I work through the daylight
It's all so routine
Then put on some record
And I fall asleep
Then you come to me sweetly, love
Lay a kiss on my cheek
Hold me so tenderly
I promise never to leave
Then I wake without you
Was it all just a dream?
I pass the hours
They pass me like weeks
I'm haunted and followed
By men I don't see
This world is a nightmare
In which I long for sleep
I can't live without you
Still I continue to breathe
I'm fighting my falling asleep
I know you'll be coming to me
Still I wake every morning from the same dream
It's like losing you all over and over again

Bring On The Bad Dreams

Write me song
Stop my heart
Change my ming and prove me wrong
Make me weak and make me small
Make me known
Make me loathed
Make me bend and make me fold
Paint me cruel and all alone in her eyes
Leave me worse off
Leave ruined
Leave me tired and leave me broke like it was me that hung the rope
Leave me spit on and cast out and cold
Make this my last
Make me the worst
Pretend the past was all just a fiction
Forget the many times I was your first
Write me a song
Stop my heart
Bury me next to a stone
That says "FUCK THIS DESTROYER OF WORLDS"

Vincent Draper Salt Lake City, Utah
The sound of Vincent Draper and The Culls is mysterious and seductive. They move from genre to genre with a certain charm and candor that is entirely their own. The Culls are dreamy, dynamic, and hypnotic. They sway from devastatingly haunting laments to thunderous psychedelic bangers, all the while sewing their rich, moody darkness into every note. ... more

Dishevelled beauty, passionately painful with Barker's higher pitched and often strained vocals ever present; transporting the listener through his bitter sweet journeys. "Cause I'm feeling so torn, I'm feeling so torn and I can't be reborn, I can't be reborn," Typically poignant.

Part Mark Linkous blended with Elliott Smith, lo-fi goodness tinged with dissolute country but overwhelmingly this is Mathew Barker who is Water Music. If this brief review sounds even remotely appealing, to ignore will be at your own deprivation. A MUST buy. Highly recommended!
