lyrics

In you're Ninja Turtle t-shirt,
You melted my heart,
From the bay area
I bet that's where you're smile comes from.
A summer job as a coffee slinging barista
You seem happy,
I’ve been forcing a fake smile,
But sometimes it comes out naturally,
Like you're fingers pressing the chord C,
And you're other hand strumming strings

No need to be embarrassed, the honest sound of voiced vowels
Is a welcomed change

Lonely, sipping tension tamer tea,
Microwave buzzing,
Asking stupid questions like “Why me?
Filling humidifiers,
clothes stuck in dryers,
A pen trapped in a spiral note book where
I wrote words...

Shuffling my feet in the dirt,
A fridge magnet with the words “bitter” produced itself,
Don't know how that made me feel,
With headphones on,
And my dress shoes tied,
Ironed pants and a suit

I know my art has been misused and abused,
But it takes time to recognize that the knifes been pulled out of you

Put my body through flames,
Close my eyes every Saturday night,
Crawling into bed,
Darkness can make it alright,
If you find solace in thinking I'm writing these songs for you
Ill tell you you're wrong

about

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.
