THE ODD VIGIL is a collaborative bedroom band founded by bucket. In 2021, born from a simple but powerful idea: bringing isolated musicians together without ever sharing a stage or a room. Every track is shared and crafted between bucket and a rotating cast of collaborators, each creating from their own personal space. No rehearsals. No live shows. Just songs assembled across screens, stitched together from solitude, emotion, and late-night ideas.

THE ODD VIGIL

THE ODD VIGIL - Wasteland

I got brains in my hand
Long for the legend of the promised land
I got food, here for days
Men fallen down from the desert haze 
I got fear in my head
Straight from the memories before I was dead
I got blues in my skin
Coming from the innocense that turned into sin

Why can't I be free from this hunger inside my heart, yeah
Why can't I savour the taste as I tear you apart, yeah

The hunger inside me cast upon your deadliest sin oh
In whether I'll grasp myself a bite or whether you'll win oh

I got death in my skin,
Wishing for the reaping of me to begin
I got rot on my bones,
Overcast the rain upon my mossing stone
I got hate in my eyes
Hating all others who took my prize
I got brains, in my hands
cause I am a zombie can't you understand?

Why can't I be free from this hunger inside my heart
Why can't I savour the taste as I tear you apart

The hunger inside me cast upon your deadliest sin oh
In whether I'll grasp myself a bite or whether you'll win oh

Why can't I be free from this hunger inside my heart
Why can't I savour the taste as I tear you apart

The hunger inside me cast upon your deadliest sin oh
In whether I'll grasp myself a bite or whether you'll win oh

The hunger inside me cast upon your deadliest sin oh
In whether I'll grasp myself a bite or whether you'll win oh

THE ODD VIGIL - I Am A Zombie

LYRICS:
Late at night, doors slam shut
Both too proud to say enough
Hearts on fire, words like knives
Cut too deep but we survive

Shame on me, shame on you
The things we did to shift the blame onto
Blaming me, blaming you
Words that feed and make the distance through

We go round and round, no one wins
Tearing love apart again
All these walls we build so high
But I don’t wanna say goodbye
Can we find a way to bend?
Or are we breaking in the end?

Every fight, same old scene
Same old ghosts still haunting me
Say we’re done, but never leave
Love is war, and war is weak

Hearts don’t heal with empty pride
I don’t wanna sleep on different sides
Maybe if we drop the fight
We could make it right

Shame on me, shame on you
The things we did to shift the blame onto
Blaming me, blaming you
Words that feed and make the distance through

We go back and forth, same old fight
Turning love to black, and white
Every word just pulls us under
Are we lost or can we recover
And if we bend, will we break?
Or is it just too late, oh

THE ODD VIGIL - Shame On Us

LYRICS:
Scorched earth scenes, the sky is bleeding gray
Is this the legacy we leave today?
A future murdered in its infancy
Breathing the smoke of entropy

Every step we take, the ground decays
The vines around our throats begin to fray
Manifesting chaos we can’t contain
Still we run through the fire and call it fate

Pull back the veil, let the darkness leak
The cracks in the walls are starting to speak

Life is never certain, pull right back the curtain
Release your inner self, don't fade away
Don’t leave me behind, I’m here for the night
Our destiny is temporary, we burn in the light

Urgency is capillary
Creeping slow through the veins that we carry
Twisting down the vines that tie
Our shattered hands, our hollow sky
