lyrics

Mice have taken refuge in my car’s air conditioner
And I’m about to declare all-out war
Because this is the car I need to use to go out on tour

And the frustration of a lack of proper foundation,
Is maybe why we saw that guy tear out his eyes and loose his mind,
But I once heard it’s the complex combination of a chemical reaction,
And the decision is not even yours.
And I guess it’s the season to unconsciously stream uneven,
And I guess it’s the reason you’ve only felt like you’ve been dealing,
And all you want is healing, but your mind is constantly plotting treason.

It’s a birthday celebration of an occasion you forgot,
So you tied a rose and spoke a poem and went home to sleep it off,
It’s a birthday celebration of an occasion you forgot,
So you tied a rose and spoke a poem and went home to sleep it off,

So I lost the battle to the enemy,
So I shook his hand because I was beaten into defeat,
But now I’m wishing that I was just a little bit more petty,

But sometimes that’s just how things go,
When you go toe to toe, with forces that you don’t know
You can retire but that weight is god damn heavy,
And no one wants to go out on a loss,
And no one wants to see that belt strapped on someone else,
So you volunteer yourself to be strangled in a mayday scarf
and hung from a tree with its bark carved off,
With different shades of color covering you up

When you pull yourself out of the grave
That someone you don’t know made,
Rubbing the snow from your eyes,
When you look outside,
Will it look sublime?
Or more like an earthquake?

It’s a birthday celebration of an occasion you forgot,
So you tied a rose and spoke a poem and went home to sleep it off,
It’s a birthday celebration of an occasion you forgot,
So you tied a rose and spoke a poem and went home to sleep it off.

Bashful Hips Chicago, Illinois

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.
