lyrics

Insanity,

I guess it’s just a figure of speech

I was lost for so long

It’s been five months

How long is enough now?

I’m saying it now

You know I’m done

And I slip back and forth

But always more south

Then my compass points north

And in the present tense

I have nothing going on

How can I define that?

Well how do you define that?

I guess there is more to life than love

But it’s just not that exciting

I heard you ignore your loneliness

Hoping someday someone comes along and it’s beautiful

I recognize my fallacies

I hope it’s time we make a treaty

When the night comes and the only hand you’ve had to hold

Is a wooden post to kill all those vampires and ghosts

In my trench alone those are the longest nights

Every move to get comfortable might as well be a Vietcong

fight

It’s not black or white; it’s different shades of red

It’s just a complete mess

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.
