This is The Rough Draft, the newest album from Bug Hunter

Boogie Pete (Bonus track)

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

I am a creature of habit
my tastes are immovable, I order the usual
and I already know what I want...
keep your menu, I know what I want…

Because the options are endless, they're overwhelming at times
you just have too much to sell me, so many things to decide
you may mock me for opting for what is already mine
but what if my cookie cutter is one of a kind?

I think there's too much to choose and I've had it
Don't change me, creature of habit

Left foot, right foot, same way 'round
but with this push - I put my foot down
Yeah, this time I want change
I'm gonna do somethin' crazy 
(actually, no I'm not)

So let me explain, I'm not that anxious to changes
I'm not afraid to adapt or think it's actually dangerous
It's just a preference to routine and familiar faces
I won't break down or die if I just happen to break it
I keep the cause to myself, I feel it's reekin' of ego
and it’s a fine line to walk, so I am threading that needle
It's just the whole human race, well I can take 'em or leave 'em
and I can say that, I swear, some of my best friends are people

It just feels so good when I've planned it
Same time, same place, creature of habit

Left foot, right foot, same way 'round
but with this push - I put my foot down
Yeah, this time I want change
I'm gonna do somethin' crazy...
/
...Actually no I'm not gonna act like you ask me to act
Like a simple machine checking task after task
I'm my own human being and I happen to lack
the need to be seen chasing fad after fad
And I know there's a world full of wonders to see
with places to go and pancakes to eat
but I base what I know on what things bring me peace
My circadian soul likes the pace and the beat
that maintains my breathin', blood flow and sleep
but won't lift my feet or break my routine

So left foot, right foot, same way 'round...

Creature Of Habit (Bonus Track)

Take It Back, By Bug Hunter. This is the 5th song on their 3rd album, Bigger Than Myself


I sent my resumé to God
in MLA and 12 point font
My awards are all in order and
my references are pretty strong

My bullets points: concise, and now
my grammar's fixed and typo's found
I'm hopin' if she sees it I have
made my English teacher proud

And I've done my share of charity
but left out my profanities
I know that he's a busy guy
and maybe won't remember these

The omnipotent editor
knows all the trick by now, I'm sure
but first impression's stick so I
am leading with my best foot first

So now I wait for the response
A call from my potential boss
Did I apply 'cause I am lost?
Is it too late to call it off?

I didn't know I had an answer
for this question 'till I asked
but now that I am set in motion
all I want's a second chance

Take it Back

And I’m flinching as I check the mail
and flip through bills and grocery sales
I throw out all the clutter,
understand that it can’t help me now

But there it is, I’ve finally heard
‘cause in my hands: the holy word
The envelope is gold and it’s addressed
“To Whom It May Concern”

And I’m too scared
to look inside
With shaking hands
and fading eyes

But nothing now can change at all
the contents of this envelope
It's best I get this over with
'cause ignorance won't save my soul

And I read the words one at a time
but can't get past the leading line
My eyes refocus, open wide
“Your application's been denied”

I didn't know I had an answer
for this question 'till I asked
but now that I may never have it
all I want's a second chance

Take it back

“Your application's been denied
We can’t accept you at this time
We’ll keep your paperwork on file
We’ll reach back out when it’s your time

We know that life can seem so cruel
That’s why today is just too soon
You still have so much left to do
The world’s not ready to lose you

So many lives to still impact
Some still have yet to cross your path
We know that it’s a lot to ask
Please learn your worth, and take it back”

Take it back

I take it back

Bigger Than Myself

Take It Back

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
