lyrics

If death is the end,
Will it be like ink running out of my pen?
Indentations in pages, words crippled in stages?

Or will it be like a big party where everyone is sipping tea and watching whales?
But no one’s last wound is healed

But what if it’s like, sitting at a table with someone who once cared?
Though mouths are zippered, words won’t even reach a whisper.

And you want to feel something inside,
But nothing ever feels quite right.
Spring always comes right on time.
But you say the weather’s whatever,
Yeah but you say the weather’s whatever.

So you traveled backwards,
Searching for answers,
In places where you gave in.

So you search coast to coast,
Looking like the host for someone else’s ghost,
But not close,
To any sort of clue,
Of what you’re supposed to do.

Radio in complete hysteria,
Shopping malls devouring like listeria,
Tell me what’s more dangerous,
Nature or people in gathering areas?

And you want to feel something inside,
But nothing ever feels quite right.
Spring always comes right on time.
But you say the weather’s whatever,
Yeah but you say the weather’s whatever.

And the city dictates life with neon lights,
And you fantasize what’s underground,
And the city can take lives with neon knives
And put you in the ground,
Take away your sound.

And you want to feel something inside,
But nothing ever feels quite right.
Spring always comes right on time,
But you say the weather’s whatever,
Yeah but you say the weather’s whatever.

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.
