Woke up this morning with a shot left in the glass. Loving that kind of torment. It will never last.
VagueRoot
Midnight rooms... the smoke hangs heavy in the air, drifting beyond consciousness. The pattering rain against the glass... faintly drums out of step with the time beyond. The call... already too late to come, indefinitely delayed until the winding hands fade into the once to become. Somewhere between then, now, and again... laying in wait, a half-tuned guitar serenading a half-written song that has yet to come to pass; while the chorus plays on, the chords discovering the find of a lifetime within the shadows of the everlasting night. Vague-Root on an adventurous discovery within.

Whistles so bright they shine into the mirrors left behind. Wax burns quietly. The windows shatter into the glimpses from beyond.
Waiting on her text while the thunder grows. The sky cries. Hold on tight, because you feel right.
A list of things to do, and still thinking about you. The air we share is so sweet. Confectionary kisses, forever after.
Things aren’t quite what they seem. Religious ways. Another way to understand.
Fading by the candlelight, a smile hides. Knitting shadows in the night. Lost in your eyes. There she sits dressed in black.
Dreaming into the night. Twisting shadows. You are the one I adore. You break my heart like before.
Just a whisper. Fly and be free. No understanding eyes will see the torture of her apathy. Rolling in the rug.
About
Vague-Root is an Austin music project started in 2026. The songs are written and recorded mostly alone, though there’s room for others when it fits. What you hear here are demos—still unfinished in places, still changing. An album is in progress. Some tracks already have more than voice and guitar; others are still sparse. The aim is to keep them honest until they’re ready.
