Kishi Bashi - The Ballad Of Mr. Steak

That’s why we pretend
(Mark Irving Anderson)

…I almost slipped and said, “my lover”
Not my confidante or friend
I’ve been careful, for so long now
Tell me, why do we pretend…

…That people are the same here 
And we’re people after all
Like vibrant colors in the wind 
Chasing autumn leaves that fall…

[Chorus]
...But, somewhere in the nighttime 
There’s someone holding on 
To those voices of the past
Voices telling him he’s wrong
So, trusting in his heart light
Makes it hard to find his way
Maybe that’s why he pretends 
So, he won’t fade away…

…It’s hard to stand there silent 
But it’s harder to defend
When your courage doesn’t hold up
Maybe that’s why we pretend…

…That being equal carries meaning
And I would fight with you
Or that I’d never leave you out
The way that others do…

[Chorus]
...Cause, somewhere in the nighttime
There’s someone holding on 
To those voices of the past
Voices telling her she’s wrong
So, just trusting in her heartline 
Makes it hard to find her way
Maybe that’s why she pretends
So, she won’t fade away…

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

[Chorus]
...Somewhere in the nighttime
Somebody’s holding on 
To those voices from the past
Voices telling us we’re wrong
So, just trusting in his heart light
Makes it hard to find a way
Maybe that’s why we pretend 
So, we don’t fade away…

…Maybe that’s why we pretend 
So, we don’t fade away…

That’s why we pretend

I left the door open too long.
Light crawled in,
touched everything I couldn’t name.
Dust circled like old prayers,
too quiet to believe in.

Streets crack below,
each car another beat borrowed from your world.
I think of you in the reflection
not your face,
just how still the glass was after you left.

If I’m still somewhere,
it’s between stars,
in the pause between a sound and its proof.
A small, patient sound
forgetting who made it.

I walk until the sky erases the idea of destination.
Billboards speak in light I can’t translate.
The moon flickers,
as if buffering another planet’s thought.

I used to write lists of things to fix
now I just listen to silence,
wait for it to rhyme.

If I’m still somewhere,
it’s not for long.
Every error grows tired of spelling.
Every goodbye becomes a friend.

Night folds around me,
neither kind nor cruel.
Just enormous enough
to call it peace.

Still Somewhere

I wanted to give you a hug when we chatted yesterday.  Take this as a stand-in until I see you again, D.&#13;

~ Lyrics:

Leaves are falling
Falling faster than the sand
Time is calling
And I'm closer to the end than I can stand

Love me gently
Cause I can't love you something fierce
Don't remind me I've been drifting further as you're drawing near

I let you 
I let you down
I let you 
I let you down

Broken mirrors
Take the truth and tell it slant
All you're seeing are the lies I told you when I took your hand 

Hallelujah
Ash to ash and dust to dust
Every lie we built is coming down
And finally it's us

I let you 
I let you down
I let you 
I let you down

And the biggest problem
That you don't know I have
Is I know you love me
But I don't love you back

Let You Down

Cedar House - Let You Down

Song number 4 of 5 from the Somerset EP, this one presented a fun challenge. Usually my songs are fully written on guitar before entering the production phase. This was the opposite, the whole song was originally written without guitar, so I had to reinterpret/create acoustic parts to fit from scratch.

Written, produced, and engineered by Axel Mansoor
Mixed by Daniel Brooks

Talk To Me (Stripped)

Here I Am

Stuck

Hey you found the bio! You must care / wanna know more about me (I’m flattered). I reward thee with fun facts: 

My mission is to make you groove, cry, and laugh 
I pitched my song to H.E.R. on Season 2 of Songland :O 
My spirit animal is a puppy
I grew up between 7 different countries and was bullied a ton for being brown skinned, Jewish, and American and have worked really hard to learn how to love myself (whew)
My first ever song placement was a sex scene on General Hospital which got me a Daytime Emmy nomination for best original song (life is hilarious)
My instagram bio says big 💜 energy which is both a wholesome and dirty joke 
I’ll leave you with an amazing quote, “the thing you’re most afraid to write about…write about that”. This is the realest advice.
