Hurt

Written and produced by Patrick Baker

/verse/
I know you don't wanna hear the words I'm saying
but all I really want is to get through
I know you won't budge an inch
and I'm not caving
but still I can't believe that we are through

but if I could reach out to you
and somehow make it through
somehow make it through
if I could start this all anew
that's what I would do
that's what I would do

/chorus/
cause I just can't let you go
so I'm still holding on
but I don't know what to
cause by now you're gone

I know the way things are 
we can't keep on
living in all those yesterdays
they are gone for good

/verse/
do you remember how it used to be?
when I was the only thing you needed
I was a half before you made me whole
yeah honey with you I was completed

but if I could reach out to you
and somehow get through
if I could start this all anew
that's what I would do

/bridge/
if I thought we could save this
maybe go back and 
do it all better this time
I would spend more time
loving you harder
then I would never say goodbye
to you

All Those Yesterdays

I Can’t Tell

I’m out in the open
Falling back in
In my old self
My darling help

While I

I sweep the dust from my window
In the corners I pile
Shed tears in crooked knees
My windows they shine

It’s already here
There it’s all gone
I leave it till the morning
But the morning never comes

I don’t know if I’m ready
I don’t know if you've heard
Two feet off the ground
Leaving traces, can’t be found

But it’s not my beam
The spectrum of my wailing
Drop to the floor
On a bender or a railing

I can’t tell

I can’t tell if it’s here
I can’t tell if I’m wrong
I can’t tell if there’s light in the dark from my home

I don’t know where we are
I don’t know where we go
I am already down, but I found a new low.

I Can't Tell

On February 22nd, 2014, Ian Randall Thornton released his debut EP “End Where You Begin”, a six track continuous song series about the beauty and difficulty of love in the context of change, life, and death. This soulful folk record is a journey of breathtaking tension and release. Intricate, heartfelt acoustic guitar and Ian’s rich baritone blend with tasteful string arrangements and other instruments that seem to enter and exit like a brilliantly choreographed play. Poetic and descriptive lyrics draw you into a cinematic narrative that feels like a good conversation flowing from layer to layer of the weighty topic. For such a lofty conceptual album it remains approachable, human and personal while leaving the listener feeling enriched, embraced and contemplative.

End Where You Begin

Suffer Not

Got to Be More

A little something I wrote a couple years ago, recorded this demo of, and let sit.  Shoutout to a friend for giving me the little push I needed to post it. This song means a heck of a lot to me. A work in progress.  A masterpiece within itself.

For as long as I can

Korby Lenker is a storyteller in every sense of the word. A singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, author, actor, and podcaster, he’s spent his life chasing what moves him—whether that’s through melody, fiction, or film. His newest single, Meet Me at the End of the World, marks a return to the lyrically rich, emotionally resonant songwriting that has defined his career for nearly three decades.

A self-proclaimed troubadour, Korby has toured internationally, published award-winning fiction, and released eight albums of critically acclaimed Folk-Americana. After 2021’s Man in the Maroon (named one of American Songwriter’s Best Albums of the Year), he took a detour into film, co-writing and starring in Morse Code, a television pilot loosely based on his own winding creative path. The project racked up awards on the festival circuit—Best TV Pilot, Best Lead Actor, Best Original Music, and more—cementing his reputation as an artist who refuses to stay in one lane.

Following the success of Morse Code, Korby leaned even further into his love of storytelling by launching The Morse Code Podcast, a deep-dive series on creativity and process with high-achieving artists, writers, and filmmakers. Now in its second season, the show has featured Grammy winners, bestselling authors, Hall of Fame songwriters, and Tiny Desk Concert alumni.

At the core of it all, Korby is simply a guy who loves people, loves ideas, and loves seeing where the road leads next.
