lyrics
Can you pull together the strength that it takes
To help you put yourself back together
A new way to make all of the pieces fit
With a shelter to bear the stormy weather
You don't look so tough when you're on your own
With no distractions that you can hide behind
The brightest light is sure to burn out
By staring too long you find yourself blinded
You will become whatever resists the least
Instead of taking control of yourself
Calling out your insecurities
To shed them of their teeth
Checking out when you should be checking yourself
You can't keep track if you've never taken inventory
There's no way to know just how far you could go
If you don't put stock in the worth of your story
When there's no one left to fool, you'll decide to move on
To this time I think that you said Mexico
But sooner or later it will run its course
And you'll discover that there's no place left to go
To help you put yourself back together
A new way to make all of the pieces fit
With a shelter to bear the stormy weather
You don't look so tough when you're on your own
With no distractions that you can hide behind
The brightest light is sure to burn out
By staring too long you find yourself blinded
You will become whatever resists the least
Instead of taking control of yourself
Calling out your insecurities
To shed them of their teeth
Checking out when you should be checking yourself
You can't keep track if you've never taken inventory
There's no way to know just how far you could go
If you don't put stock in the worth of your story
When there's no one left to fool, you'll decide to move on
To this time I think that you said Mexico
But sooner or later it will run its course
And you'll discover that there's no place left to go

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
