Looking forward for the first time To the hive mind where we intertwine Looking to the bright white light Thinking that life might be alright Everybody real here Making me feel weird and insincere Far away crystal clear Think i may just disappear Where did the confidence go? I don't know

You will drown in your delusion Like an ice cube in the ocean Like twin shadows in slow motion Couldn't capture that illusion Like a puppet on a string You will dance along with everything You will never hear me singing No one cares about your thing Now your teeth are so white they glisten I'm so happy that you're with him I feel better when I'm ignoring it No you won't hear me forgetting soon I will love you like a child I will quit you like a hard drug I am sober and defenceless Just like everybody else I will love you like a child I will quit you like a hard drug I am sober and defenceless Just like everybody else Just like everybody else

Adult Song 02:06
All I want is to be close to you And know little things about your life Do you have any brothers or sisters? Are they married? Where do they live? I'd love nothing more than to lean their names And maybe one day I'll know their faces All I want is to move to the city And rent by month our own apartment Ideally one with a fire escape We can sit outside with the wind blowing in our air We'll watch the traffic pass I'll ask about your awful day dear All I want is a grown up job To pay the bills and fill the hours Save some money to afford The kinds of things that make us feel like adults Until we pay our student debts I think we're going to have to rough it out All I want is to sit close to you On the TTC that's headed downtown Maybe we'll go to the AGO I know you like to look at paintings I'd love nothing more than to know about art And maybe one day I'll what you see

I have a hand and you held it When I held it out I had a heart and you broke it And you swept it up I have a dark side I'm dented I'm bent and demented I have a gun and it's loaded But not pointed yet

Kandinsky 03:51
The whole world is gray You don't believe it The ghost went away You don't believe in the past anyway You don't believe me Of course, I will stay in bed Make me your friend I don't believe you I'll take what I get As it passes through you The whole world is flat You don't believe that the past really passed us by

I'm not going to stop I'm not ready to heal you I heard you're giving it up You're not ready to feel it There is beauty here There is beauty here Be mine be mine I can't seem to lose I'm not ready to draw I can't seem to see things the way the way There is beauty here There is beauty here Be mine be mine be mine I should have asked what you thought of me Before you moved away I should have asked what you think of me I'm not really here (I'm not really here) I guess nevermind I'm not going to look (I'm not really here) I guess I'll never find it There is beauty here There is beauty here Be mine be mine There is music here There is music here Be mine be mine be mine

Lake Swimmer 04:59
Lake swimmer lake swimmer Late bloomer late bloomer High water high water Why bother why bother There was nothing that I could have told you There was something in your blazing eyes you always knew Getting there wouldn't be hard Something came in front of you and caught you off your guard I was wishing I could be twenty-two Still taking off my shoes and following you All around my backyard Places in the day that didn't seem so far away Lake swimmer lake swimmer Late bloomer late bloomer High water high water Why bother why bother Risk taker risk taker Taste maker taste maker Hill climber hill climber Cliff diver cliff diver There are so many things I couldn't tell you There are so many little times that I decided not to Your laugh was always pretty anyway Always thought I knew when they would take it all away There was nowhere that you didn't want to go Every path was always twisted and I always told you so I heard that you were doing well in school Something came in front of you and caught you off your cool Tree burner tree burner Better keep running keeping running Shape shifter shape shifter Seek shelter seek shelter Even the statues in the corners wept After everybody else had left And I couldn't even sign my name We always did think the same

Everyone's listening Where are the answers? Where is the future now? Where did the sun go? He hid from his shadow How will the ice melt now? The earth began to spin and I held on so tightly With my tired aching hands The sky began to fall and it never stopped No not until we both woke up Someone is out there You gotta believe me Where is my good friend now? Over the water Over the rainbow On Lake Ontario The earth began to spin and I held on so tightly With my tired aching hands The sky began to fall and it never stopped No not until we both woke up Not until we both woke up Not until we both woke up

I moved out to North Toronto Wore my shoes down Let my hair grow long Watched every episode of Sex & the City To feel closer to you I went down to the local bookshop Do you have anything about the life of van Gogh? I'm going to memorize the lines of his portraits And feel closer to you But honey I don't want to make this about me Honey I don't want to make it a big deal Honey I don't want to stop and start I already know I'm gonna break your heart Honey I don't want to end where you begin I moved out to North Toronto Wore my shoes down Let my hair grow long Watched every episode of Iron Chef Just to feel closer to you But honey I don't want to make this about me Honey I don't want to make it a big deal Honey I don't want to stop and start I already know I'm gonna break your heart Honey I don't want to end where you begin

about

"Dead on the page. Too sincere. Clearly repressed. Backward, quaint, naive, anachronistic."
