lyrics
He had hoped that by escaping to be alone with his thoughts
He could see to completion, his great work of art
It had been sprung in pieces inside of his head
Haunted his nights caused sleep to evade
In the coldest of winters, despair settled in
The walls couldn't warm him and the fires grew dim
But once he embraced it, he was free to dissolve
And as particles of air, he found his resolve
When alone he discovered that by letting go
Not trying to catch nor to siphon the flow
He had more raw substance then he could stand to bare
alt lyric- (He found more substance than he could ever bare)
The task then became what to keep and what to pare
Finding sustenance in creation, not water or wine
His cup overflowing with his pouring of mind
At this pace it continued for indefinite weeks
One day he came to being finding his work complete
She came around not long after to pay her respects
He decided to start over just as soon as she had left
He had hoped that by presenting it'd make her want to stay
To prove himself worthy, all was lost with her away
In the waste that lay before him he found what he had lost
The motive for invention he once had but then forgot
Sudden sprung pieces born inside of his head
Into this intuition he dissolved again
He could see to completion, his great work of art
It had been sprung in pieces inside of his head
Haunted his nights caused sleep to evade
In the coldest of winters, despair settled in
The walls couldn't warm him and the fires grew dim
But once he embraced it, he was free to dissolve
And as particles of air, he found his resolve
When alone he discovered that by letting go
Not trying to catch nor to siphon the flow
He had more raw substance then he could stand to bare
alt lyric- (He found more substance than he could ever bare)
The task then became what to keep and what to pare
Finding sustenance in creation, not water or wine
His cup overflowing with his pouring of mind
At this pace it continued for indefinite weeks
One day he came to being finding his work complete
She came around not long after to pay her respects
He decided to start over just as soon as she had left
He had hoped that by presenting it'd make her want to stay
To prove himself worthy, all was lost with her away
In the waste that lay before him he found what he had lost
The motive for invention he once had but then forgot
Sudden sprung pieces born inside of his head
Into this intuition he dissolved again

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
