lyrics
Slow down we can talk it out
we'll back-track, relax and track it down
how I carve out a space for this
To hold a job and have a hobby that’s expensive as it is
My neighbors all complain about the noise I make
I piped down and I haven't made a peep though
but I've found my voice in this random noise
so sit back now and welcome to the peep show

I've been making up words
at the top of my lungs
at the tip of my tongue
ease up, and leave me some
I've been making up words
'cause there aren't anymore

Untwist from the sounds of it
I've missed half the point but I got the gist, now I
Now I know what my next step is
find the perfect words if they exist
Is it words for love? Is it words for pain?
and do I stop when they sound the same?
or is it better that I pander to people who will listen
or do I pivot, go 180, just to prove I can be different?

I've been making up words
at the top of my lungs
at the tip of my tongue
ease up, and leave me some
I've been making up words
'cause there aren't anymore

Refresh, give me time to rest
to recharge my search for a sound that's fresh
I don't mean to be so down or pessimistic
like an ivy on my skin I can't resist the urge to itch it
with a simple little hobby all I do is stitch together
clever words and sounds, record, promote design and finally pitch it
and I'm like "please share, please like and subscribe"
but all I want to do is leave this unrelated stuff behind
but at the same time, I want to reach a million people
now I'm feeling like a thousands out of reach if I don't keep up
with the trending times, a brand new state
a new bandwagon with some new paint - well here's my new way
Maybe I'm not trending up on twitter
and the only one's I'll reach will be my mom and baby sister
maybe I'm not bound for money or fame
but my music wouldn't fit inside a status or a hash-tag!

I've been making up words
at the top of my lungs
at the tip of my tongue
ease up, and leave me some
I've been making up words
'cause there aren't anymore

I've been making up words
at the top of my lungs
at the tip of my tongue
ease up, and leave me some
I'll plagiarize the chorus from the beating in my chest
I'll take my inspiration from the cadence of my breath
I'm searching for a rhythm in the cracking of my knuckles
they asked me for a title, said I'm Torn Between a Couple
taking aim and aiming up, its second nature, off the cuff
I'm vaguely masquerading and I'm faking that I'm brave enough,
I'm shakin' up the achey stuff, I'm waking all the neighbors up
there ain't enough to waste it cuz I'm savin up and makin' up words

Magic 8, By Bug Hunter. This is the 2nd bonus track on their 3rd album, Bigger Than Myself

8th grade and crying at the counter
4 a.m. and drowning in her work
3 textbooks spread out around her
1 overwhelmed little girl

Her dad walks into the kitchen
so hard to see her so stressed
Still dark but he's there to listen
she's scared of failing her tests

He says:
"My little girl before you worry at all
have you asked the Magic 8 ball?”

And with a shake, shake of the Magic 8
her stress melts away with a smile on her face
With a lifetime of love, and a small dash of fate

A dad takes care of his girl

A dad takes care of his girl

22 and panicked in her bedroom
20 outfits thrown on the bed
She's wanted this job since she was a kid and
1 interview is all that’s left

He has such faith in his daughter
he needs her to just believe
and just like any good father
he's got a trick up his sleeve

He says: 
"My little girl before you worry at all
have you asked the Magic 8 ball?”

And with a shake, shake of the Magic 8
her stress melts away with a smile on her face
With a lifetime of love, and a small dash of fate

A dad takes care of his girl

A dad takes care of his girl

"I was naturally full of anticipation when Cody invited me to lunch last October
because he had something he... 'wanted to discuss.’
When he finally quit beating around the bush and asked me
if he had my blessing to marry Carolyn,
without hesitation I consulted my mini Magic 8 Ball…
which I never leave home without…”

Last year I'm sweatin' in a bench seat
I've got a speech well-rehearsed
I'm here to ask for his blessing
The father of that brave little nurse

So I start while I've still got courage
"Your daughter has become my best friend
and though I'm scared, I'm so nervous
I plan to ask for her hand”

He looks at me and with no words at all
he pulls out his Magic 8 ball…

And with a shake, shake of the Magic 8
my stress melts away and my fears are replaced
I can't see the words, but he says "It looks great…”

And with a shake, shake of the Magic 8
he says that I'm family and this is my place
With a lifetime ahead, and a small dash of fate

I will take care of your girl

I will take care of your girl

Magic 8 (Bonus Track)

Safe Word, By Bug Hunter. This is the 1st song on their 3rd album, Bigger Than Myself

A broken clock's right twice a day
but mine spins in reverse and may
have doubled odds and better luck
Now it's twice as good as worthless junk

My heart's as healthy as a horse
but my hard hat's lookin' hardly worn
That other steel toed boot'll drop
but I don't know when, or how to stop

I wish I had a secret code
to signal me to take it slow
I need a sin like calculus
'cos my limit does, in fact, exist!

So slow down, focus, do yoga poses and
learn to love the lull and just breathe...
Breathe… breathe…

Alright I'm good!

I think I'm smiling and nodding, but surveillance cameras caught me laugh maniacally 
headbutting every obstacle, I've got to turn it off... and pick back up when I am calm
Even with an invitation, boy, you gotta learn to knock (Oh knock it off!)
... And do me one favor: Remember the safe word

I get that passion motivates
and crashes down like ocean waves
but tunnel vision's toxic man,
you're not John Henry, take a breath

That might sound harsh when you are used
to head rubs, praise, and sugar cubes
I just hate to see you racing towards
behaviors that we shouldn't reward

So slow down, focus, do yoga poses and
learn to love the lull and just
Breathe. Breathe. Breathe. (Alright!)

I think I'm smiling and nodding,
blending in and getting on
but no, I haven't fooled the cameras
in my camel camouflage
I'll take it off!

...and I won't spit on anyone
Even with an invitation, boy,
you gotta learn to knock
(Oh knock it off!)
And do me one favor:
Remember the safe word

And I have no construction crew
to build this introduction tune but it's sound and under budget, too...
The chords work, the beat works, the verse and melody works
and these words, they each work, have purpose versus knee-jerk
Safety first, let's be sure our neon PPE works
Now the only thing that needs work is the last bit of the bridge!

I think I'm smiling and nodding, mild-mannered, nodding off
It's just my neck is getting tired, so much nonsense to hold up
Just take a pause... but don't give up the dream
If they change the locks behind you, you can find another key
and hope a smile and a nod's the only signal they have seen
You're no machine but there's no shame
in blowing off a little steam, so hear me knock!
Hear me hammer, hear me yell
and don't knock it 'till you've tried it,
tried to knock or tried the bell (Ah, let me in!)
The trip has been paid for and you have a way forth
so don't waste the day or delay it for later

But do me one favor: Remember the safe word
