about

A simple acoustic arrangement suits this quiet, contemplative confession.

lyrics

All I want is not to be the next guy you reject.
And so I won't express my love. Now what do I expect,
As if some day you'll recognize my patience turns you on?
You sweetly stay oblivious, and leave before it's gone.

When I breathe your name aloud, it's private and discrete.
You're hardly near enough to hear the heart withstand the beat.
I never know which drift you catch. You're thrown so many bones
By all the other lovesick, poor, admiring unknowns.

Admiring, unknown. Admiring, unknown.
Admiring, unknown. Forever, I'll be.

Just like clockwork ticking out the minutes, months, and years,
There comes a day when what looks like a chance with you appears.
With scripts rehearsed and harbored feelings, still I'm ill-equipped.
It's just my soul and dignity, and not your clothes I've stripped.

Admiring, unknown. Admiring, unknown.
Admiring, unknown. Forever, I'll be.

about

Brimaxian Portland, Oregon

A persistently versatile mix of guitars, keys, synth strings, and more, in the rock, acoustic, and alternative genres. Dense, poetic wordplay sung by a semi-amateur baritone. Wry wit, hot guitar licks, and the occasional augmented sixth chord.
