Mira 02:38
lyrics

Mira, she's a stunner when she ain't got nothin' on her But I still want her Mira when she phones home she only finds that she's alone but I still want her And everyone around her brings her down. But you don't need them.

Voyeurs 02:31
lyrics
buy track
Maybe I can't read your mind but I've done something to disappoint you I try to get my lines right I've always struggled with being an asshole Sitting on the balcony getting tipsy watching the neighbours undress it's getting hard to leave for you for me Was it all just a dream? you sawed half my face off before you would get off that plane I'll be waiting with flowers and those grotesque observations I make when you're away from me

Escapism (Live Acoustic) 02:58
lyrics
buy track
We thought we could move, Someplace where life was worth a little bit more. We've got nothing to lose, So on your way out don't bother locking the door. We rolled in with the clouds And in the humid heat started rolling around And made love at the side of the street. I don't want to care, Who decided that life was about getting somewhere? I want to feel the wind in my hair. I may not thrive but I know I'll survive. Freedom is looking for a peace I won't find. We drove down to the sea And bought some fish of the boat, No longer swimming up stream. We just decided to float. And on that dark windy shore we built a fire And the darkness made you shine even more. How could you shine even more? How could you shine even more? How could you shine even more? How could you shine even more? You're gonna burn yourself out, You're like a falling star...

Stop Piece 05:42
lyrics
buy track
Take me to the hospital
 I’ve lost the better part of me 
Waiting for a stop piece
 Waiting for a stop piece

 Traffic jams and traffic lights 
Picking fights with everyone around you

 The sun’s going down over the city
 And the toxic sunset looks so pretty 
From a house on a hill
 Take from it what you will

 Ain’t no use for conversation
 We can talk about it later on

 Lights go on in the city
 they light up the sky and it all looks so pretty 
From an apartment on a hill
 Make of it what you will
 Make of it what you will

 All is quiet in the bedroom cities
 There are times when I wouldn’t dare to breathe...
 and break the silence

 Sunset rides in your rear-view mirror 
Everyday when you’re driving home... alone

 Late at night the streets look like rivers of fire
 when I get home I put my back against the wall

 Make of it what you will
 Make of it what you will

Grace 03:30
lyrics
buy track
Grace is flowing 
from your heart 
It floats on the pavement 
 and it pools in the dark

. Now the hours are being wasted 
and we know no reason why
 and the wolves are getting hungry 
we will never buy enough time. 

I have slept in crowded places. 
I have tried to feel alive. 
I am still so very lonely 
except there is no place to hide

. Now the gods are getting angry 
 throw another sheep on the fire. 
I am sorry such a little thing 
could so consume my mind. 

I have choked my anger
 because I can’t swallow my pride 
It’s a lessons learned in anguish, 
I have no time to apply

. Though the end was disappointing 
I am still so glad I tried 
because the shadow of what could have been
 was heavy on my mind. my mind... my mind...

Lynn Valley 04:08
lyrics
buy track
We took a train to take to take us west To the place your childhood knew best When we arrived we breathed the air of this small town beauty so delicate and fair We felt the earth slip beneath our feet as our hearts lift when our hands did meet Lynn Valley Lynn Valley I'll always remember the time we wasted in late November

White Elephant 07:40
lyrics
buy track
We’re swimming upstream We part where rivers meet. And all our energy is lost, Is lost… Will you be there for me When it’s gone? It’s gone… I’m cracked and I’m creased But you fill all the seams When I’m alone this place falls apart. I fall apart… In your arms. Was it ever worth it, Just to come and pick me up? Was it always pity? Was there ever any love? Was it ever worth it, Just to come and pick me up? Was it always pity? Was there ever any love? We sip at cold tea. My company is not what it used to be. Brush the snow of the furniture and sit down. Or you can quit this vapid conversation and just go. Was it ever worth it, Just to come and pick me up? Was it always pity? Was there ever any love? Was it ever worth it, Just to come and pick me up? Was it always pity? Was there ever any love? Was it ever worth it? Was there ever any love? Was it ever worth it? Was it ever worth it? Was it ever worth it? Was it ever worth it?
