Young man
What you gonna do with your life? 
I said well why should I even try to decide?
Right now, 
I am living independently
Can’t you see that there’s no one else but me? 
	
I’ve got friends
And I’ve had lovers
But they all come and go
Just like the winter snow
They fall into my heart 
And melt into my soul 

Well I don’t mean to complain
But all these questions I’ve been asked are strange
I always heard I can be who I want to be
That’s no one else but me

That’s no one else but me

I’ve got friends
And I’ve had lovers
But they all come and go
Just like the winter snow
So I come and go
I’m like the winter snow (x3)
I’ll fall into your heart 
And melt into your soul (x2)

Fall into My Heart (x4)


Winter Snow

I remember the first time that I spoke to her
In a tone that was not quite a friend’s 
I said darling you don’t seem to fully understand
The extent of the accusations you are making
Saying I’ve been with another woman

And I said
What happened to a little thing called trust
What happened to a little thing we called love, don’t you know that love means trust
What happened to a little thing called trust
What happened to a little thing we called love

I remember that night when she said to me
Oh boy just where have you been? 
I said it is not even 2 am, and you know 
I was out with my friends 

And I said
What happened to a little thing called trust
What happened to a little thing we called love, don’t you know that love means trust
What happened to a little thing called trust
What happened to a little thing we called love

Well, I know that you have got your history
And babe I’ve got mine as well
But if we keep holding on to all these things long gone
You know we’re just creating our own hell 

And I said
What happened to a little thing called trust
What happened to a little thing we called love, 
What happened to a little thing called trust
What happened to a little thing we called love, don’t you know that love means trust
(REPEAT 2x)

Trust

featuring: Johanna Palmieri (Vocals), Jasmine Beams (Viola)

You rolled in like waves
From the sea
As you poured into and over me
Like a coastal city
Tsunami
You pulled me into your deep

You took me like fire
Takes burning trees
Down to the, down to the ground
So furiously
And you had your hands on me
As your poured into and over me
Tsunami 
You pulled me into your deep 

Yours is the last name that I call before I sleep
It’s hard to believe you have such power over me
Your love takes me out to sea 
Yours is the last name that I call before I sleep
And mine is the name you can have to keep 

You rolled in like waves
Tsunami
You took me like fire
Tsunami 
You washed over me
Tsunami 
and pulled me down to the down to the ground
So furiously
You washed over me
Tsunami
You pulled me into your deep
You pulled me into you

Yours is the last name that I call before I sleep
And mine is the name you can have to keep 


Tsunami

Featuring: Jasmine Beams (Viola) 

I thought that I was 
One of a kind but
I could not have been more wrong
And I thought that I was
Something so special
But I’m much more common
I’m just so common so I 

I close my eyes
I fall to rest
I’m seeing stars inside my head
And wishing I could be someone new
I close my eyes
I fall to sleep
These constellations fill my dreams
I’m hoping I could find somewhere
Beautiful 

I thought that life had
Some deeper meaning
But really who was I to say
It’s common knowledge
That no one really knows
I’m just a ripple 
In an endless ocean

So paint me a picture
Preserve my memories
Oh, how quickly these moments fade
I’m just a ripple
In and endless ocean
Take me as I am
I am just common so I 

I close my eyes
I fall to rest
I’m seeing stars inside my head
And wishing I could be somewhere new
I close my eyes
I fall to sleep
These constellations fill my dreams
I’m hoping I could find somewhere
Beautiful (repeat)


Just A Ripple

I think you need to step back and spend some fucking time with yourself she told me 
You cannot survive without leeching off of somebody else
Drinking anyone dry that you can can’t be too good for your health
and I just stood there silently staring blankly lost in lost in the clouds
She walked away 

Things just started spiraling I swear that I was coughing up words
Just like Icarus I think I might’ve got just what I deserved
She walked away (x3) 

And now I’m lonely 
For the first time
Since I met her
I’ve been blind
And now it’s over
And I’m falling 
Like a meteor 
Through the night  [Repeat]

Things just keep on spiraling I swear that I’m just coughing up words
Just like Icarus I think I might’ve got just what I deserved
When she walked away

And now I’m lonely
For the first time
Since I met her 


Icarus

Recorded and Mixed by The Peacock Effect. Mastered by Eric Day of Sleepwalk Recording. Shook My Soul is a single released Apr. 4 2014. 

I, I'm just one more car on the road
Heading north, heading home
New Orleans must have shook my soul 
Now, I'm just one more car on the road

I thought I saw you through the trees
Floating like a summer breeze
your light rushing in on me
I thought I saw you through the trees

Now, I'm just one more car on the road
Heading north, heading home
New Orleans must have shook my soul 
New Orleans must have shook my soul 
Shook my soul

This was recorded live in Johanna's living room. We are all now living apart. The song continues to be played live by Nick's band "The Peacock Effect."
