In the Sun 04:02
Maple iridescent leaves in the sun. Hemlock shinin' silvers in the sun. Lady bird dustin' her feathers in the sun. River shimmers, mirrors in the sun. how I feel with you I'm so warm in the sun. how I feel with you I'm so warm in the sun. wooooooo... Maple leaves flicker like flame in the sun. Hemlock shinin' silvers in the sun. how I feel with you I'm so warm in the sun. how I feel with you I'm so warm in the sun. wooooooo... Lady bird dustin' her feathers in the sun. River shimmers, mirrors in the sun. how I feel with you I'm so warm in the sun. how I feel with you I'm so warm in the sun. wooooooo…

In My Ring 03:26
I know a place where you can stay in my bed. I know a place where you can ride in my car. I know a place in my dreams where you can star. I know a place in my ring where you can fight. Feel it so real Feel it so real Feel it so real Feel it so real Feel I know a place in my dreams where you can be a star. I know a place in my ring where you can fight. Feel it so real Feel it so real Feel it so real Feel it so real Feel…

Rob Me Blind 04:01
You rob me You rob me You rob me blind. I swear I see better now that you rob me blind. And give it all back and then some. And give it all back and then some. And give it all back and then some. I swear I see better now that you rob me blind. I swear I see better now that you rob me blind.

Away 04:44
Time is so hard to kill when you are away. Songs are so hard to feel when you are away. Dreams are so hard to mean when you are away. Time is so hard to kill when you are away. I’m not afraid to cry ‘cause you’re gone. I’m not afraid to die ‘cause you’re gone. There’s no fight left in me now. There’s no light left in me now. Time is so hard to kill when you are away. Songs are so hard to feel when you are away. Dreams are so hard to mean when you are away. Time is so hard to kill when you are away. There’s no fight left in me now. There’s no light left in me now. Oh no, there’s nothing left in me now. Life goin’ on scares me to death. ‘Cause you’re gone. ‘Cause you’re gone. ‘Cause you’re gone.

IOU1 03:50
I’m a bad actress can’t find my role around you. I’m a bad actress can’t find my role around you. You expect more expect so much more from me. I want more, I want more, I want more from you. And so you want to hang out but I can’t afford the energy it takes to get to know you I guess I’ll wait until you say somethin’ mean to make me go away somethin’ mean so I can walk away. I owe you one I owe you one I owe you one I owe you one I’m a bad actress can’t find my role around you. I’m a bad actress can’t find my role around you. You expect more expect so much more from me. I want more, I want more, I want more from you. I owe you one I owe you one I owe you one I owe you one…

Stood up again I count to ten when you’re down it’s a knock out so move on. Murdered a bird whose wounds were not quite enough to go on. Told a thousand lies you look so good I only had one miss you too I’ll quit. Devil you’re just another kind of angel on my shoulder. Devil you’re just another kind of angel on my shoulder. Wooooo…

Kid 06:20
My place in the corner of your eye where I’ll wait and hide in the middle of your hangin’ pictures, in the middle of your bouncing thoughts outside of words. I’ll wait and hide in the shadow of the back of my mind. Like a kid in time out I want to be released. But there’s no referee here no in the ring of a fight with yourself. Like a kid in time out I’ll meet you in the middle. Admit it, you want them to love you even when you say you hate them. I… I’ll meet you in middle of your hangin’ pictures, I’ll meet you in middle of your bouncing thoughts.

Flame 05:43
I wanna make you mine I know I can’t waste anymore time I already have like a stick of dynamite I’m no use without your flame. You and me we are extraordinary better hold onto me tight I’m ready to go straight into the stars we’ll blow them all away. I don’t wanna wait for it. I’ll just go hang around I’m so bored. You don’t have a choice they say but they don’t have a right to say that to me. Climb a ladder from your window I’ll be on the lawn. Doesn’t matter if they hear we’ll already be gone but oh I wish we could take your dog. I don’t wanna wait for it. I’ll just go hang around I’m so bored. You don’t have a choice they say but they don’t have a right to say that to me. I don’t wanna wait for it. I’ll just go hang around I’m so bored. You don’t have a choice they say but they don’t have a right to say that to me. I wanna know what it feels like to love you by an ocean. I wanna know what it feels like to love you on a mountain. I wanna know what it feels like to love you by a bonfire. what it feels like what it feels wooooo…

Posing meaning you never understood. leave me in the dark keep me in the dark. Frozen pictures you don’t recognize. leave me in the dark keep me in the dark leave me in the dark. oh oh well hell oh oh well oh hell oh oh oh well hell oh oh well oh hell oh oh oh well hell Neon haloes made from china dolls. leave me in the dark keep me in the dark. Ones and zeroes bangin’ your head on the wall. leave me in the dark keep me in the dark leave me in the dark. oh oh well hell oh oh well oh hell oh oh oh well hell oh oh well oh hell oh oh oh well hell oh oh well hell oh oh well oh hell oh oh oh well hell oh oh well oh hell oh oh oh well hell

Birthday 04:51
I wish for your hand to hold on my birthday when I’m told I’m on my own now. You’re all grown up for years now It hasn’t killed you yet, but it’s made you weaker. I wish for your hand to hold on my birthday I’m too old for such gifts now. Only a candle for years now make the same wish it shouldn’t be so easy to blow out. It shouldn’t be so easy to blow out.

about

V I O L E N T M A E Roxbury, Connecticut

Violent Mae was never intended to be a band. Becky asked Floyd to record and produce her first solo album, and as soon as they hit the studio, chemistry and dynamics between the two sparked the evolution of an artistic partnership. Rising out of Becky’s guitar driven songwriting and multi instrumentalist, Floyd’s production style, Kid (due 11/20/2015) is a document of a band coming into its own. ... more
