Lyrics

Written by Matt Duke/Matt Duke Music Publishing (BMI)

Buzz and grind and blinking lights
Amassing words and cotton dry
Please help me stay awake

My candyman is at your call
But you suggest the padded walls
Please help me stay awake

I know it’s hard to see
But this waking life I lead is better wasted
I’m just wasted because I don’t want to sleep

Come and meet me on the other side
And we’ll scale the rocks to the mountain top
Then you’ll see

I know it’s hard to see now
But you can trust me, darlin’
I’ve found it more successful
Than any other method
Don’t be so angry, I’m just wasted

Binge and purge
Forsake the flesh
Psycho‐babble decadence

    We’ve all heard the old song about the hip bone being connected to the leg bone, but what about the heart-strings and the grey matter? That connection is harder to make – but it’s one that Matt Duke manages to forge with the whip-smart, emotive songs on his second Ryko album, One Day Die – an album which touches on the darkness implicit in that title and uses it as a springboard to redemption and rebirth.

    The Acoustic Kingdom Underground EP features six tracks that were largely inspired by Matt's literary experiences. Although he dropped out of college after "15 minutes," he has used many great novels as a jumping-off point for many of his finest tunes.

    Kingdom Underground is a thoroughly engaging collection of ten intelligent, literate folk-based pop songs that exude a unique playfulness while tackling some often weighty topics. Whether with tenderness, torment, or turbulence, Matt Duke renders each of the songs on Kingdom Underground as if its emotional content is as fresh and new as the moment he first experienced it.
