Matte Beige

A song about a time when I felt incapacitated by my own anxiety, but like, make it fun, kinda.

[mp3]

Lyrics: Defenseless Stripped of every habit that protects me Sexy If you like neurosis and fear of closeness Precocious Quick to fall apart thanks to a big headstart Red heart But what it pumps through me is Matte beige and unvivacious Afraid that I'm contagious Afraid to turn the pages And see what happens now But it'll happen anyhow Distracted Trapped in autopilot, blankly smiling Beguiling If you like 'em vacant-eyed and pacing Erasing Everything but that which found me hapless Cat piss Soaking all my idle time and I'm at Wit's end and feeling half-witty I don't want to want it but I need your pity If I don't get it I'll make do with my own And my head in a cone My life's completely blown I spent it all just dealing

Hi! I dig the arrangement and your vocals! This is something I would expect to find on the public radio jazz/fusion station broadcasting out of Tijuana ,Mexico. 102.5. They are always blowing my mind with little gems like this that seem to come out of nowhere. I love it.

Thanks for posting!
