Private Warfare 02:17
lyrics
buy track
Ah you're breaking a bylaw Ridin on the sidewalk Out on Queen street Heading for Spadina With a hand in your pocket And your mind on private warfare You can count your calories Complain about your salary Project positivity Say you like your family But you're just bangin your head against a wall as thick as the world With your Private warfare Private warfare Private warfare When time moves faster But everything takes longer You need a new place Where no one knows your face You can escape from the fallout Watch out where you’re looking Beware what you share Now with your cold hard stare Pretend that you don't care With your mode in Toronto and your mind Ontario It's Private warfare Private warfare

Good Morning, Early Warning 03:23
lyrics

Don't let my first impression Turn you off of me All I said is that I think we're all insane But not equally Not equally Good morning, early warning Thanks for joining the show Despite all my rage I'm still a volcano In a cage All of my love in vain Went of the rails of a crazy train Crazy train Crazy train Good morning, early warning Thanks for joining the show And I know a poet down the road I asked him to teach me to see He said vision ain't no thing It's all just a big crazy game And I just play I just play Good morning, early warning Thanks for joining the show Good morning, early warning Thanks for joining the show

Commercials For Heaven 02:43
lyrics

I got a hyperbolic television disillusion Feels like solipsistic aphoristic Ice-cream headache Or maybe just a narcissistic apoplectic disappointment Whatever it is it’s killing me Oh whoa Whatever it is it’s killing me Give me an ibuprofen percocet revelation - Now Now Now! Whoa baby Don’t hold out Or send me a Holy vision Just keep it brief and I’ll write it down now And I take a look out of my window up to the sky And I watch these fluffy clouds float by And they look like the kind they use in Commercials for heaven Commercials for heaven I wanna be low to the ground I’m floating down I wanna be low to the ground I’m floating down Commercials for heaven Commercials for heaven Heaven, Commercials for heaven

Something Digital 03:29
lyrics
buy track
I am the bull and the bullfighter You are the tower and the keeper Beyond the hunger and the pleasure We form the balance and the measure I am the flow and the resistance You are the source and the absence Beyond the voices and the silence The reaction and the crisis I don't need I don't need no one I don't need I don't need no one Need no one I don't need I don't need no one I don't need I don't need no one Need no one And I think there’s something happening here There must be something going on here Maybe something inimical is going on here Must be something chemical Or maybe something social is going on here Don’t you point your finger at me Or maybe something digital is happening here That’s it there’s something digital

I’m gonna keep you at an arms length To save my point of view from a slow death. I’m not gonna believe any of your empty threats and I I yay oh oh oh I’m not gonna hide from the future Oh oh I oh oh I’m gonna find a solution I’m gonna march against your policies And teach the children about your politics. And I’m gonna spread all of my messages and I I yay oh oh oh I’m gonna try to care about the future Oh oh I oh oh I’m gonna give retribution I’m gonna read all of your documents And I’m gonna reveal all of your past regrets. Shine a light on the whole circumstance and I I yay oh oh oh ’m gonna take charge of the future Oh oh I oh oh I’m gonna start a revolution. I’m gonna work all of the patriots And I’m gonna free the proletariat And I’m gonna bring down all the governments and I I yay oh oh oh

I Forget 02:10
lyrics

I forget the first time we met And all the promises I never kept I forget my last regret I forget, I forget Some say, tomorrow is another day Hey that’s not such a bad cliche CGDG It’s works for me and it’s the only one I know Guess that why I’m kinda lucky I’ve also heard the trick to life is attitude Wish I knew how to put that one to use I think I did when I was just a kid But now I forget I forget the first time we met And all the promises I never kept I forget my last regret I forget, I forget

Loved by You 02:42
lyrics
buy track
I got a stain on my name Causing me shame and disdain But I take all the blame, anyway It’s alright, don’t even mind Cause I’ve been struck by lighting Caught in a riot, nagged by a vulture Now I got pain flowing through my veins Making a mark Forming a scar On my heart On my heart But it’s alright, don’t even mind Cause I’ve been struck by lighting Caught in a riot, nagged by a mother And loved by you Loved by you Loved by you By you I’ve been struck by lighting Caught in a riot, nagged by a vulture And loved by you Loved by you Loved by you By you

You're so Sad 03:16
lyrics
buy track
Got your place on the second floor It’s a little better than the one you had before You got time for your worries and your dreams You can step out on your broken balcony With your fading bamboo tree And your thriving animosity You’re so sad oh sad You’re so sad oh so sad I’m not calling cause I miss you I just need someone to hold my ice-cream cone While I put my sweater on Then I can carry on as planned Licking salt from my hand Licking salt from my hand You’re so sad oh sad You’re so sad oh so sad Vulnerable, uncomfortable. irritable In your thin skin exposed And is there something wrong? Is there something wrong? With eye contact Eye contact - you... you You’re so sad oh sad You’re so sad oh so sad You’re so sad oh sad You’re so sad oh so sad Vulnerable uncomfortable, irritable In your thin skin exposed In your thin skin exposed

Comes & Goes 04:18
lyrics
buy track
These days I’m mostly laughing Mostly I’m just floating Sometimes I get lost Don’t think I am the same Really think I've changed But sometimes I take a fall Maybe it’s the past That causes me to crash I don’t know Cyclone in my head, burning in my blood bring me down Comes and goes, comes and goes Sometimes I hit that wall Comes and goes, comes and goes Sometimes I take a fall Sometimes I think about you And the time we had together So long ago How I kept you from my heart So that you wouldn’t know What was inside But all the crap I tried to hide Was all you’ve ever saw anyway That why I had to leave That’s why I had to go and float away Comes and goes, comes and goes Sometimes I hit that wall Comes and goes, comes and goes Sometimes I take a fall Sometimes I feel this terrible weight Pinning me down And I can't breathe That’s when I want to call you up To help me lift it off Disaster only lasts As long as I forget To let it go Sometimes there’s this terrible weight It comes and goes Comes and goes, comes and goes Sometimes I take a fall Comes and goes, comes and goes But mostly I'm alright

Reality Is on Me 03:39
lyrics
buy track
Just like nature I take my time Just like nature I use what I find But I don’t pretend anything is mine And just like nature reality is on me Reality is on me Just like snow covering the ground And just like rain washing away Reality is on me Reality is on me Just like nature I can’t be anything else Just like nature I get no love in the city I go in circles and I got no plans And just like nature reality is on me Reality is on me Just like waves crashing down And just like words melting away Reality is on me Reality is on me
