Private Warfare
02:17

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

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
|

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
|

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

About The Future
04:03
|

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’m gonna survive the future
Oh oh I oh oh I’m gonna build a generation

I Forget
02:10
|
|||
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
|
|||
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
|
|||
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
|
|||
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
|
|||
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
