Verse 1: I won't disturb you dear when I leave here in the morning I think it best that I not serve a warning, delay us from admitting just what we did My head aches as evidence from a night of heavy drinking Designed to interrupt, distort our thinking, distract from things once felt with young maliced hearts Verse 2: The girl I knew back in school she had a different way to get you In subtlety she found herself a warm ruse enough to make you feel some more alive When I first became aware of the flash of early interest The trumpets blared loud enough to deafen, and others seemed extras in a dream Chorus 1: I don't know what was done that made you leave But now we've gone and fucked it up, completely, completely Verse 3: When Jack left the party ran to fish his friend out of the river I stuck around long enough to find a reason to stay as I caught you from afar and all others went dark The night moved, I found myself in a room had grown more crowded but still unseen by the one that had held my attention ‘Til the cops came to kick, kick, us out into the night Bridge 1: The familiar feeling of the tightening of your grip when you're on my mind Verse 4: Under cover of darkness I found you, free to forget history, allowed to pretend this was a first meeting, allow ourselves to indulge and put the past in its place And briefly the girl from back in school returned, the one I knew before the rules the one before the boredom, The girl who could put all at ease if just given the chance Chorus 2: I don’t know what we said that made it bleed But now we’ve gone and fucked it up, completely I don’t know what we did that made you leave I don't know what was done that made you leave But now we've gone and fucked it up, completely, completely Bridge 2: The familiar feeling of the tightening of your grip when you're on my mind You throw me out of synch, would it be easier to just let it be? The familiar feeling of the tightening of your grip when you're in my mind V5: Now where does this leave us, I don’t want to think myself too hasty Each moment I feel my feelings ever-changing I’ve worked too hard getting whole to just give it away And briefly I’m reminded of trumpets loud enough to deafen With a stillness found only with divine intervention It’s the thought that I take with me on my way out the door

Patience 03:56
Sit upright and breathe. There's always somewhere else to be Free from time so absently invested and seldom protested Some sudden space leaves a void for anxiety to creep in
 Once it takes it's hard to throw a wrench into the mechanics Oooh Don't give up. Don't give in, to distractions live your life sleeping in Let yourself go, trust not knowing. Got to be a patient patient. Let patience lead you there At my best, I behold the truth hiding behind the curtain It doesn't last and I throw myself to ruin by trying to keep it. 
It’s not mine. It’s not meant for the keeping Oooh Don't give up. Don't give in, to distractions live your life sleeping in Let yourself go, trust not knowing. Got to be a patient patient. Let patience lead you there Oooh Don't give up. Don't give in, to distractions Live your life sleeping in
 Oooh Don't give up. Don't give in, to distractions Live your life sleeping in
 Let yourself go, trust not knowing. Got to be a patient patient. Let patience lead you there

You don't need to fight back when you're exposed The damage done is at its worse when you shut down Honey, are you listening? Your heart don't need the wall of stone Honey, are you listening? You can't get in when you are on your own I know little about the things you choose to ignore But I'm sussing them out to show their tenuous hold Honey, are you listening? They look so weak in the light Honey, are you listening? They won't let go without a fight Chorus If you were better off with me leaving In an instant I'd be gone But tonight I fear that you should not be alone If the best I can do is love you Let you lean to hold you up Would you let me help you back where you belong I'm not sure how you got under my skin But there's one thing I know for certain There's a warmth that wasn't there before you came Honey, are you listening I'll take the good with the bad Honey, are you listening I'll take that which drives you mad Chorus

Come out come out where you are where you live in my head Idle you wait when i need you the least you Appear Move to the front, don't be the last one in It'll leave you suffering Not safe in your own home When the panic hits The voices in chorus sing Leave me alone Bones, bones, bones, they give me weight and give me shape in my skin That which troubles me most has no mass has no form but always wins Move to the front, don't be the last one in It'll leave you suffering Not safe in your own home When the panic hits The voices in chorus sing Leave me alone

about

Mr. Kind Oakland, California

Since its inaugural release, OK, Mr. Kind has departed from rough-around-the-edges garage folk rock to the dense electronic leanings of their second EP, Mr. Kind. The band was originally formed to perform the recorded solo material of lead singer-songwriter Brian Bergeron, but Wide Awake | Open Eyes represents each band members’ continually expanding involvement in the songwriting process. ... more
