Fears and Faults
02:41
|
|||
|
Let’s take these cold hard rocks
And paint ‘em black with our regrets, then
Throw them in the back to
Somewhere dark where we’ll forget, and
We’ll chase these storms away
For blue skies and better days, and
Don’t you know we’ve come a ways?
From all these fears and faults we’ve left behind
Are we here alone?
I fear we’re hiding in the back from
All this loveless hate
We’ve barely found ourselves some slack in this twine
That’s tied somewhere back in time while I fear
We’ve been dragged backwards in this storyline
Let’s take these cold hard rocks
And paint ‘em black with our regrets, then
Throw them in the back to
Somewhere dark where we’ll forget, and
We’ll chase these storms away
For blue skies and better days, and
Don’t you know we’ve come a ways?
From all these fears and faults we’ve left behind
Are you even here?
We’ve reached the beginning of the end, and
All these bleeding hearts
You’ve left so few of us to mend this time
We’re not standing by to watch us die I swear
You’ll never live this down there’s nowhere left to hide
Let’s take these cold hard rocks
And paint ‘em black with our regrets, then
Throw them in the back to
Somewhere dark where we’ll forget, and
We’ll chase these storms away
For blue skies and better days, and
Don’t you know we’ve come a ways?
From all these fears and faults we’ve left and
All these fears and faults you’ve left us
All these fears and faults we’ve left behind

Forest and the Fool
02:19
|
|||
|
You’ve been the forest and I’ve been the fool
Lost in the darkness means nothing to you
I’ve got this heart and you’ve got this stream
Running from nothing but flowing from me
This love, you don’t know
This love, you don’t know
Well I’ve been in the shadows and you’ve been the light
We’re both trying to find flowers through cracks in concrete
While there’s petals on bed sheets in the back of your mind
Rough hands on flesh but there’s no one in sight
This love, you don’t know
This love, you don’t know
You’ve been the forest and I’ve been the fool
Lost in the darkness right here beside you

Ethereal

He’s got a good imagination
As he lies awake in the dark
His eyes follow the shadows
As they smear across the wall
With every car that passes
He’ll watch his ghost cross above
As it hides into the corners
His heart races with fear and love
Your ghost is never broken
It may be healing in the dark
Though it feels ripped apart
This story’s never over
If you write it with your heart
If you write it with your heart
She’s got a good imagination
As she stands staring at the wall
Her eyes fall on a sunbeam
Casting shadows where the plaster’s cracked
With every moment passing
She’ll watch her ghost fade through the pain
As it hides away in this moment
Her mind races with longing and disdain
Your ghost is never broken
It may be healing in the dark
Though it feels ripped apart
This story’s never over
If you write it with your heart
If you write it with your heart
Your ghost is never broken
It may be healing in the dark
Though it feels ripped apart
This story’s never over
If you write it with your heart
If you write it with your heart
If you write it with your heart

Vandalized Murals
03:20
|
|||
|
The inner-city streets are getting dark
Blurring the lines on the graffiti art
The old stone walls now painted black
Over the murals that once covered this crack
These modern children fight this war
That tears this city to its core
And in the streets that bare our souls
They wear the blood of these tolls
The river through this city still flows
Beneath the ice where your cold heart froze
And through this valley our rose still grows
Our courage rises from this dirt beneath your toes
These modern children fight this war
That tears this city to its core
And in the streets that bare our souls
They wear the blood of these tolls
The inner-city streets are getting dark
Blurring the lines on the graffiti art
In these alleys where you make your home
This can’s become an extension of your bone
These modern children fight this war
That tears this city to its core
And in the streets that bare our souls
They wear the blood of these tolls

Ballad of a Lowly Gent
03:07
|
|||
|
She said she’d be there through the thick and the thin
When the booze is all gone and the money is spent
All that’s left is a lowly gent
It’s lonely at the top but the bottom’s where I’ll be
We slip and we slide like a runaway train
Alive and free
Through the fury of life, at your side I guarantee
She said she’d be there through the thick and the thin
When the booze is all gone and the money is spent
All that’s left is a lowly gent
She offered me a ride, a chance I’ll always seize
To have another drink and put my mind at ease
Cause the curves of her body
Fill my head with disease
Mama always told me what a gent would do
To hold open the door while she’ll pass on through
My coat on her shoulders
Her cold hand on mine, if only she knew
How far I’ll go
To love her and save her from demons below
She said she’d be there through the thick and the thin
When the booze is all gone and the money is spent
When the booze is all gone and the money is spent
All that’s left is a lowly gent
All that’s left is a lowly gent

Golden

We headed west down past Hinton
We stayed up late, caught a few shooting stars
In the morning your head hurt from the drink
I said I was hungry but we hadn’t brought much to eat
So we hit town, picked up eggs and coffee
We needed gas so I picked up chips and jerky
With the sun behind us, the wind in our faces
I stepped down, pushing us further west
That’s when you said that we were early
And I thought that we were late
It didn’t matter cause you looked golden
With the mountains over your shoulder
And the sun on your face
We broke the border, Alberta to B.C.
Stopped near Robson so you could take photos
But as per usual the clouds covered the peak
I thought we should go but you’d rather wait
That’s when you said that we were early
And I thought that we were late
It didn’t matter cause you looked golden
With the mountains over your shoulder
And the sun on your face
We settled down somewhere near Vernon
For the better part of a week before heading back east
Well I had set my alarm early
You refused to get out of bed cause you didn’t want to leave
That’s when you said that we were early
And I thought that we were late
It didn’t matter cause you looked golden
With the mountains over your shoulder
And the sun on your face
With the mountains over your shoulder
And the sun on your face

Where I'll Lay My Bones
03:28
|
|||
|
Roam, through these pubs that we call our home
And all the people that we’ll never know
That’s where I’ll lay my bones to grow
That’s where I’ll lay my bones to grow
This street, where we’ve always come to meet
And burn our cigarettes out in the cold
I hope we never grow too old
I hope we never grow too old
So grab your coat
And a cold one for the road
Let’s catch another show
A band we don’t even know
So light another cigarette
Cause there’s some things we’ll never get
Before we grow old
So don’t leave me with anything I’ll regret
These lights, barely light us in the dark of night
But it don’t matter cause your soul still glows
I really hope you know it shows
I really hope you know it shows
So grab your coat
And a cold one for the road
Let’s catch another show
A band we don’t even know
So light another cigarette
Cause there’s some things we’ll never get
Before we grow old
So don’t leave me
So grab your coat
And a cold one for the road
Let’s catch another show
A band we don’t even know
So light another cigarette
Cause there’s some things we’ll never get
Before we grow old
So don’t leave me with anything I’ll regret
Roam, through these pubs that we call our home
And all the people that we’ll never know
That’s where I’ll lay my bones to grow
That’s where I’ll lay my bones to grow

Oceans Apart
03:31
|
|||
|
We sit in the same room but feel oceans apart
I slide under the bed sheets, still seem oceans apart
So close I could touch your long blonde hair
All I do is close my eyes and you’re no longer there
Oceans apart spread by forces unseen
Our love no longer reached the in between
Once like love birds perched high up on a wire
Time had exhausted our fire
We sit in the same room but feel oceans apart
I slide under the bed sheets, still seem oceans apart
So close I could touch your long blonde hair
All I do is close my eyes and you’re no longer there
I lost my way out in the sea of blue
Where all I could think about was you
The girl who once shared these dreams
Torn from me like old threaded seams
We sit in the same room but feel oceans apart
I slide under the bed sheets, still seem oceans apart
So close I could touch your long blonde hair
All I do is close my eyes and you were never there
Our love was lost deep in the fallen trees
With nothing left to put your mind at ease
You’d sat beside me with your broken heart
For too long we’d been oceans apart
For too long we’d been oceans apart

Tsunami
03:31
|
|||
|
Shake and cracks from far away, unseen unheard
Churn the waves I’m fleeing, fly high as a bird
My dreams left to save in a bottle at sea
Forever washed away, longing to be free
She hit me like a tidal wave
Stripped me bare
Exposed for all to see
Washed away my hopes and dreams
Her passing glance across the room
Moments shared and understood, she hits me like a tidal wave
Washes me away, this soul to consume
Mountains move from far below, my senses start to cave
I drown in your beauty, I’m reborn and afraid
A lost ship in your sea, forever undismayed
She hit me like a tidal wave
Stripped me bare
Exposed for all to see
Washed away my hopes and dreams
A tsunami of love, both fearful and beautiful
Wash clean the dirt in my soul
A tsunami of love, both destructive and renewing
Rise up to breath some more
But the water takes its toll
She hit me like a tidal wave
Stripped me bare
Exposed for all to see
Washed away my hopes and dreams

Promiscuous Love
03:29
|
|||
|
She came back at dawn with that
Fake smile on her face
The smell of booze and cheap cigarettes
Give away your lack of regrets
And I know that you know
Wide awake, mind racing fast
How do I divert this disaster?
When you’re one foot out the door
With a fire burning at your core
And I know that you know
That I know that you’re sold
But you’re living off promiscuous love
And it’s gold to your soul
But you’re never gonna fill that hole
Like we did with all
The time we spent in our own bed
And even so you know
I just can’t seem to stop loving you
Well this city seems to run itself
On tin can beer and gasoline
You can’t seem to help yourself
From the match and the kerosene
And I know that you know
That I know that you’re sold
And you’re living off promiscuous love
And it’s gold to your soul
But you’re never gonna fill that hole
Like we did with all
The time we spent in our own bed
And even so you know
I just can’t seem to stop loving you
And I know that you’re sold
But I just can’t seem to stop loving you
And it’s gold to your soul
But I just can’t seem to stop loving you
Like I did with all
The time we spent in our own bed
And even so you know
I just can’t seem to stop loving you
Well I just can’t seem to stop loving you
Well I just can’t seem to stop loving you
