Like trying to read the future in tea leaves Or admiring the beauty in the trees Or ignoring the fact that your new apartment may have fleas And you’ve been trying to see rats and trash differently “Well how’s that going?” You readjust words and well known terms You look for truth in dirt and overturned moss You’ve been doing it for so long But you have a greater understanding of what it takes to move rocks And you actually believe it
2.
I fell asleep in the middle of the week And I had a dream That the only woman who ever knew me Wants to see me dead, she wants see me dead I’ve learned to keep my eyes to the ground And I’ve learned not to compare, Compare or contrast the past from the present Oh forget it, you wouldn’t understand Sleeping beauty she sleeps straight through the beauty And I dream so ugly, Well at least I dream Moment to moment we tend to forget what just happened, So be constantly connecting the strings of theories And paying attention to the way old plays end Well do you still dream? Well I still dream, Even if it’s only of the ancient ruins of Greeks Or those dead philosophy’s

In case we forget what are next step is We’ll send a letter, So next time we can abide but what we wrote And I’ve written letters that I never sent And I’ve written letters that were never read I’ve written letters but I never said And I’ve written records that were supposed to be the end I’m trying too and you’re trying too Not just be passive, But you’re just like me Were just like spit in the sea Keep the taste of the past at the bottom Can you taste the past of the bottom? Can we keep the taste of the past at the bottom? Can the past just go unsaid?posed to be

Did you know that heart has a lot of room? How did you stand so tall in front those dark clouds that could of merked us all? We sit like the studious scientists behind panes of glass So we don’t obscure the beauty of the moment As I sat shaking in the driver seat of the car parked And told you what I’d been hiding What I’ve been hiding so far The image of the man projected onto me The projected images of the men were supposed to be
5.
Get lost inside your head Pull yourself out of bed Take a shower, shave your head Finish a book, read and repeat the last chapter over and over again When you were a little girl, you sang songs to frogs Can you feel the texture of a boulder? Bump shoulders till elbows fit Smile at people even if you’re unhappy Go home and have a manic fit Get lost inside your head Pull yourself out of bed Take a shower, shave your head
6.
The smell chlorine reminds you of your high school gym, The smell of chlorine reminds me of hospitals and unclean garbage bins You’ve been splicing a film in your basement apartment And you’ve been editing out all the parts that you wish you’d forgotten Why does it always have to be so close to this? Living under cardboard and huffing paint chips Or credit card debt, garnished paychecks Always walking such a tight rope I thought for a long, long time On the late night drive back from work, Wishing the sky would just come back Would the sky just come back?
7.
The back and forth when you’re feeling Another shoe should drop, not giving Into the idea that that has to happen Feeling alright with messy You light a cigarette and you burn a hole in your favorite sweater And you decide not to trash it, I guess that’s living life authentic Where is your head space? What’s this space in your head? Emotions you have make you feel so trapped When you’re trapped in space When you’re out there, out there in space Take the time to remind yourself To remind yourself Of the moments that could take you back to yourself Do you plan on ever coming back? Do you plan while you’re out there?

Hey Vampire, with the loosest gums Thumbs glued to TV remotes, Beds covered in flannel, Television is always on the same damn channel For the nicest pear slicing knife Some of your best friends are just infomercials that play all the time I’ll sell you paper products that have already been used, And I’ll sell you products that make me more like you Hey Vampire, your first world problems make me feel uneasy Hey Vampire, does the blood from your fist always taste like this? Hey Vampire, can you get used to this? Hey Vampire, can you use any of my paper products today?
9.
When you feel like your brain is trying to, Trying get yourself killed, Then I think it’s time, Time we could be using to upset the setting Inhale, exhale Door opens, door closes Inhale, exhale To find the answers that I’m needing I’ll have to refine the questions That I keep repeating You’re like a guard on a fairy tale bridge Every reply is in some kind of mystic language I want to tangle myself in your braids, Till there is no meaning

Bashful Hips is an Avant Garde project from the mind of Ian Fellerman. Bringing his sometimes searing, sometimes hilarious but always poignant observations to bear over an entire stable of Noise Rock/Hip Hop informed Electronica, Ian's music is never stable, always changing and searching for the sound to express his feelings.
