Tether your hopes, on a city full of ghosts
You are all alone under Uranium City lights
As you screamed, through the Mezzanine
Waking up I know its hard to fill the hole with a dream
I know the vandals won't strike twice
While there's bodies there in the mines
I know the tailings build the roads
I hope the radiations low
All these terrible decisions coming on
Are they coming for us or not?
Inside of me the poison screams
Running out of time to find the space and the need
I know its hard to negotiate the dream
I know you're working in the cold
Still got your father's eye in your skull
After the mines they all closed
You found your father in the snow
All these terrible decisions we forgot
Are they coming for us or not?
I want to give it time, grow up alone
Called from the mountain top
you said "all that's left are tableaus"
"Maybe it's a matter of time"
"Back on the on the edge of an open pit mine"
"Maybe it's all working out"
"Never thought I'd be the one embracing the doubts"
"I know its hard to negotiate the dream"
"Maybe I can hear you scream"
I know its hard to negotiate the dream
Maybe I can hear you scream

Lighting grips the highway strips
Aways brings you back to this
I don't ever want to drive
Passing through the Cap tonight, for a song
Then we're moving on
Sleepy Giants Unemployed
Cultural Centers all devoid
And if I'm finally gone
I'll make it up before we're done
Oh, moving on
Missing out on the Saulte, lake-effect coming on
Oh, moving on
If I'm ever wrong
I'll make it up before we're gone
I don't ever want to drive
Take care of me tonight
Wait on a Solar Eclipse
Glancing past you're pretty lips
And if I'm ever wrong
I'll make it up before we're done
Oh, moving on
Missing out on the Saulte, lake-effect was too strong
Oh, moving on
If I'm ever wrong
I'll make it up before we're gone
Under the eyes of 3 Sisters
We were young, only for a little while
Take of me,
We were young, only for a little while
Under the eyes of 3 Sisters
You were young, only for a little while
If I'm ever wrong
I'll make it before we're gone

It's a bad mistake to hide
From you and the wicked wind
Coming on
Maybe I was working this out on
The darkest day in five
It'll bring some change, but I was wrong
Honestly we were trying to breathe
But creaky seals bring the dust
Oh while you were running away I was coming around too
All the bad mistakes and I
We can whittle them down
With the tip of my knife
Maybe I've been working too long in
The dust I swear it's fine
There's gonna be some change coming on
Honestly we were trying to see
But you were all gone
Oh while you were running away I was coming around to
Only realize I wasn't strong enough for you
Oh it's a long hard year, waiting on the this lonely sun
IF I COULD ONLY RUN!
It's a long hard year, waiting on the this lonely sun
IF I COULD ONLY RUN! I CAN'T STAND
Anymore this year, waiting on this lonely sun
IF I COULD ONLY RUN! I CAN'T STAND
Anymore this year, waiting on this lonely sun
IF I COULD ONLY RUN!
IF I COULD ONLY RUN!
IF I COULD ONLY RUN!
Holy fuck it's been a lifetime
Since I last saw the light in you
Dust in the eyes
Arms cold and white
And a ghost was killing you

10ft Tall

Had a dream you were 10ft tall
Locked inside your beautiful skull
Hanging on through the rise and the fall
I went looking around but
Never could ever recall
What scares you in the life
Well I'd vanquish it right in the fog
Hazy love & the weight of
time ain't bad after all
I'll be round for the first final call
Biding my time
Just waitin around while I'm small
All through the night
Building on a body of songs
But I was there tucked in your head
Tallying the days singing songs you forget
When you're finally awake & I'm not tall
Often in the night
I try to pass you advice
Over slow moving chords
Somehow if you never wake up again
I won't stay quiet
But the songs still cut through the void
But I was there tucked in your head
Tallying the days singing songs you forget
When you're finally awake & I'm not tall
A thousand times I forgot the lines
So I sketched this, on the back of your eyes
All along I know it's a lot to absorb
Please don't stop me if I've told you this all before

Come cling to me Northern Alberta Bride
Sit and listen to the heart, one more time
I don't know if we're cementing the designs
Getting lost the in weeks hours, maybe more tonight
I only wonder about you half the time
Standing, waiting on the corner, on the 1st of July
I only want to hear the treble lines
I only want to sing the treble lines too...
The way things are going
It's harder than you'll ever know
To send you off now with a song
Come sing to me Southern Alberta Wife
It's been a while somewhere between 10 & 5
I only want to hear the treble lines
I only want to hear ....
Where you been so long
So start where we left it off
All along while the day slips by and on
The way things are going
It's harder than you'll ever know
It's a long way where we were once
I tried to make the time
Try to bring one last song for your now
Like we talked back when we were young
I'm sending my regards to the coast
It's unbearable, impressive, sometimes both
Should have tried harder to
Let you know, let you know, let you go,
Let you know, let you know

Late September Snow
03:27
|

Had enough I couldn't figure this out
While the flies bid goodbye in autumn's light
So while we're sleeping send the clipper forth
Since your loss, I sense your summer designs
Could swear you seen me before played it over my mind
I know this change it brings a heavy heart
Breaks us all apart
So, I don't know where the days they go
I'm always shocked by late September's Snow
I don't know where the weeks they go
Now we're racing through this endless decline
I'm getting lost once in awhile
Couldn't grasp the tone, nevermind
Barren world are we running outta time
I guess the missteps pressed us, back into line
I know this change it brings a heavy heart
Breaks us all apart
So, I don't know where the days they go
I'm always shocked by late September's Snow
I don't know how the years erode
I'm always lost every time you go
While you were awake tonight
Tossing and a turning while the wind blows, through my mind
Always waking up it's getting colder but then I don't know
The clipper breathes a sigh
Everything’s ending, it's a struggle for the country and I
I swear I'm waking up it's getting colder but then I don't know
Where the days they go
We're always shocked by late September's Snow
I don't know how the year erodes
I'm always lost every time you go

Plague Dogs

Two-sun-dogs locked and away outta sight
Holding on, to the words, dreams of you while I, thought
Winter got the cover in the cold dead light
Spring it brought the plague in the dogs
We were waiting and quiet
If Summer got another lover rolling with the dice
Well then Autumn got the bottom of the barrel
Just between you and I
Left to watch the year die
Guess it's the state of my mind
Everybody's running out of time
Everybody's coming after you and I
Everybody's running out of time
Even me and you
We were getting lost, tried to brush this aside
Mother stabbed your father in the arm with the push of a knife
Trying to save him from the flies
And Of course we can't run, we're running out of time
And the weight, on my head, and my heart, its a human mind
Whenever its alone
Everybody's running on their own
Everybody's coming after you and I
Everybody's running out of time
Even me and you
I've had the strangest thoughts
To keep the cold war hot
I-I-I-I'm getting you down now,
Guess the world forgot
I-I-I-I'm letting you down
getting you down, now, too
Everybody's running out of time ....... (running out of time)
Everybody's coming after you and I .... (coming after you and I)
After me and you
Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh
Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh
Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh
Two dogs paddle away outta site
Running while the words eating you alive
You and I alone
Two dogs paddle away outta site
Running while the words eating us alive
You and I alone

Why, why do I run?
From the work and the words before it's done
Sometimes I'm always waiting on what will never come
Before it's done, now every thought weighs a ton
Taking it on the chin for a while
Taking it like a champ for a while
So listlessness just now getting you down
Long before we're finally burning out
While the machine is just grinding us down
Erasing the lines while the flesh is slower now
Taking it on the chin for a while
Taking it like a champ for a while
Sooner be lost in your eyes
Sooner be lost for while
But I never thought that the little wires
Diminshed volts in the heart
Well us conductors got potential to still let you down
Why, do I run?
From the work and the words and thoughts of you and everyone
But I never thought that little the wires
Diminished volts in the heart
Yes us conductors got potential to still let you down
