lyrics

When I am gone, maybe too young
And when you mourn all you might’ve done
Sipping your whiskey, singing my songs
And cursing my demons, got me after all

Spare me your pity, give me my due
And think more of me than you do of you
‘cause you loved my demons (though you’d never say),
Beloved mistress kept in the shade

‘Cause my so-called angels did me no favors
Caused as much trouble as the devil ever did
Loved the wrong men, played savior
So heavy a conscience for so good a kid

But oh, the forgiveness, I’ve known in the dark
The velvet obsidian of my broken heart …
Would I be different, trade in my blues
For all of that sunshine that’s working for you?

‘Cause my kind of fire drives me to the ledge
Where I look over, flames at my back.
And I do not jump, and I’m not consumed,
But when I’m myself they say I am doomed
Maybe it’s true … maybe it’s true

So, when I am gone, maybe too young
And when you mourn all I might’ve done
Sip on your whiskey. Go ‘head and sing all my songs,
But be kind to my demons
With me all along.

Heather Aubrey Lloyd Baltimore, Maryland

Recovering reporter turned songwriter, Heather Aubrey Lloyd also co-fronts Baltimore’s ilyAIMY. Her 2017 solo release, “A Message in the Mess,” spotlights Lloyd’s emotive alto and a polished departure from her band’s alt-folk grit. Awards from the likes of No Depression Magazine, Telluride Troubadour, National Women’s Music Fest, etc. soon followed. Lloyd will release new music in late 2020. ... more

Incredible blend of styles into something totally unique. Heather's voice is one-in-a-million. Not generally a fan of live recordings but this is top notch sound. I'm an audiophile w/ over 2,500 recordings and this is as good as it gets - Rain at The Refuge Rain

Myxomatosis Took Its Toll
by ilyAIMY

supported by 11 fans who also own “My Demons”

The quintessential ilyAIMY experience of the mid-2000's, this album travelled with me from Highschool to College. It's my go-to when introducing someone fresh to ilyAIMY for the first time. The live cuts of their songs allow their banter between the chords to shine through and with the song intros on top of that, it makes for the most immersive ilyAIMY experience. celerylive
