Elephant Man
Verse
The voices circle cavernous in the air,
I slide swimmingly through the heavy frozen stares,
I was 96'd and called it quites,
A child at war with my own existence,
Chorus
I can hear em talking, change the subject when I walk in, straight out the womb, I'm the elephant in the room, truth of the matter was all I was after, I'm the elephant in the room,
Verse
I was fine, til I was not,
I live on the spectrum that tends to stay lost,
My skin a subtle hue of gray,
A shade that comes when every night turns into day,
Chorus
I can hear em talking, change the subject when I walk in, straight out the womb, I'm the elephant in the room, truth of the matter was all I was after, I'm the elephant in the room,
Verse
Ran like the wind from all friends,
Killing with kindness is still a means to an end,
Far beyond the con my dreams lives on,
In a world that spins a time where I belong,
Chorus
I can hear em talking, change the subject when I walk in, straight out the womb, I'm the elephant in the room, truth of the matter was all I was after, I'm the elephant in the room.

Productivity
Verse
You may be a carpenter by trade,
Loyalist by unbearable fate,
As your antagonist I'll take more than I need, the mahogany and the seed,
Productivity,
Imperial to metric and back again,
Just might love enough to break even,
Nobody care what tomorrow may bring as long as them slot machine levers still swing,
Chorus
Do you ever see me in you, like I see you in in me, when we push through the ones we love as if they were parlor game pieces to sling across the room,
Never outgrew that holy drunken quest for pleasure,
Productivity, my only friend,
Verse
Quite equipped to be content,
Fit to be adrift,
I'm the judge, jury and guilty party
As we fade into uncomfortable normality,
Productivity,
Self proclaimed, self made man,
Sells bookend desires, unbridled convenience,
These classless fools will never see the war til it's knocking down their own front door.
Do you ever see me in you, like I see you in in me, when we push through the ones we love as if they were parlor game pieces to sling across the room,
Never outgrew our holy drunken quest for pleasure,
Productivity, until the end….

Lee Walter Redding Kansas City, Missouri
Raised on 60s rock, steeped in 90s Britpop ennui, and guided by contemporary neo-soul, Lee Walter Redding weaves dry humor into vibrant sonic textures that sway from wistful to chaotic. Think 2010s Nick Lowe fronting The Velvet Underground. On warped vinyl. ... more
