These Days (free) 02:39
These days, it's hard to get up find the change for the bus put my best face forward And I find my favourite place at work, in my head, in my head Yeah nothing's changing I wear the same thing every day, No-one noticed when I didn't come in, I walked away with a smile on my face I'm thinking We've got no money, but we're not lonely the kitchen's empty, so we'll go hungry but I had every, thing I needed It's getting hard, these days Living tight, these days I'm getting off, at ten, you won't be waiting there I'm getting headaches from the lights, under my desk I think it's alright I squint to see the text on the screen the letters fall off and I'm blamed for them missing We are, We are, in such a hurry to reach middle age And they say you should know, you SHOULD know, this will come back to haunt you later We've got no money, but we're not lonely The kids are ugly, so they'll go hungry And I had everything I need, It's getting hard, these days Living tight, these days Getting off, at ten, you won't be waiting there No, you're never waiting there Getting hard these days, Living tight these days Getting off, at ten, you're never waiting there It's getting by, these days We're getting right, these days Getting off at ten, you're never waiting there Thinking I'm taking right off Thinking we're already packed Thinking we're taking right off Thinking we're already packed Taking off, Let's take off together And sing this off together Let's take this off together and sing this one forever

Where did you come from? What did I walk away from? You make broken promises, and they're waiting for you alone Well it's not like this was planned so we tried to forget We try try try try try try tried to forget You said, we couldn't make it on our own Satisfied with the wage Nevermind the bills to pay We're not the best examples yet Yeah, all our things, all our things, are for sale All I know, is we'll be doing this again. What did I ignore? What can we hide from showing Something we did together, Something we didn't know Well it's not like this was planned so we try to forget You know sometimes life ain't fair but we shouldn't forget You said, you said, you said, we're not Satisfied with the wage Nevermind the bills to pay We're not the best examples yet Yeah, all our things, all our things, are for sale All I know, is we'll be doing this again.

So we wait, and it's 9:45 at the station we talked about it he's still coming, she's coming down How long it's been It feels like we were kids It feels like we were home It feels like we turned out alright Back then our world turned upside down But I'm still waiting on, that street, where we made our lives You know the things we said weren't wrong We never felt we belonged Summers can't get too long Walking downtown in the rain our hair has changed again our faces they look smart I gave you that shirt you gave me this scar If it's only for a week If it's only for a year you know school was why I had to leave Back then our world turned upside down But I'm still waiting on, that street, where we made our lives You know the things we said weren't wrong We never felt we belonged Summers can't get too long Walking downtown in the rain How long we, We waited, On dog eared letters in the mail, How long we, Remember, each July sun each time we carried on Still waiting on that street Still waiting on that road Still waiting that street I see the lights, I'm heading home I see the lights I see the lights I'm heading home I see the lights I see the lights I'm heading home I'm going home

Opening my mouth you know that I'm, fucking Wasted So chill at the bar, dance at the club you know you know you're like that. Well I'm down the road, playing the Shadow. You're useless You're way up here, You're way up here, You're way up here (indication of height with hand) Nevermind what you say, it's always what you do When we're alone it's okay, when we're out I can tell that I embarrass you Your friends think I suck cause I still goto shows I'm still shaking So say what you want, I've got what I need Behind my back you're down on your knees I'm not sorry You're way up here, You're way up here, You're way up here (train sounds) And I don't really care My friends carry me home

Torn labels of bottles you can't take home Half filled your hands are full tell me what it was like he said " hey, your age I remember it kindly like it's yesterday. Hell it could be today. Thirty years, we had shit for pay and, While you don't think about it, you learn a few things." Then you're left with nothing and there's no-one to blame Everyone has so little Everyone, makes mistakes Wasted breath wasted time, splitting hairs splitting lives I've got your things, have you got mine It's not serenity, it's just pictures of our lives the grass always greener on the other side the sun never hotter, the bars stayed open just a little bit longer, "So, so you've got the time. Make it last make it well, I wish the best besides If I was there from the start, You wouldn't have been so smart" Then you're left with nothing and there's no-one to blame Everyone has so little Everyone, makes mistakes Wasted breath wasted time, splitting hairs splitting lives I've got your things, have you got mine I've got scars you're meant to see When this life runs over me And your eyes they don't define, Define my family I could be better I make mistakes should know by now I'm twenty three how to be, what to say when we're all assholes We're all assholes How to be, How to be, Proud of me, Proud of me, When we're all at fault

Please touch my face again, I had that dream again Where things turn out alright, then I fall I don't need to take the pills Getting up my strength to feel Salt on my lips kick the chair Then I fall And I had things to live for I had so many things so many things When I had you Who would show up to grieve, Anyone say they loved me? Who would I never have a chance to say goodbye to You said anything I need Right now just room to breathe And the letter on the desk Forever speaks your name And I had things to live for I had so many things so many things When I had you I never looked so high out this window Thinking man that is some blue sky My eyes are clouding up Say wait, I think I see an angel But then I don't. You know I never will Never thought of the people I left The friends that I miss, Never thought I'd go through with it The people I left The friends that I miss, Never thought I'd, ever change my mind Please touch my face again, I had that dream again Where things turn out alright, then I fall Where things turn out alright Things turn out alright

I'm moving to BC (free) 02:54
You need a change of pace of life direction and you think that Moving out west will make you right so hitchhike to add effect Hey now, it's not so bad, we've seen a lot together And yeah we all get that you're just sorting things out You need some space to roam a new life, your own You think this town is slow the people weak the grass is old Hey now, it's not so bad, we've done a lot together Hell yeah, we all get down but, will Mountains really fix that? Words you write describe you're doing great Safe to assume, everything's the same And years from now you'll say you wished you said goodbye And years from now we're starting over we've got different lives Each time you wake up the room is made up with the junk you bought to replace what you left with us, for a second you thought Is this real or is everything fucked? We can cover these old walls but the shoulders to cry on won't be there for you back home after you're gone We've got fading memories. I can't take this man I'm hoping you're alright People ask what you've been up to like we should know Struggle for some excuse like we don't really talk, like we kind of lost touch, like you don't write, when we ask you Well we heard you're coming back will you stop in at the new place? I'll say I wished you said goodbye, we're starting over We're starting over We've got fading memories. I can't take this man I'm hoping you're alright. I'm alright

Revelations (free) 04:19
I can feel your pain. Do you know. Do you suffer? And you call out my name in the dark I can hear you Fires burn on the east side 911 where's the silence and up in flames it burns. It feels like we're already dead. It feels like we're already dead. Open your eyes. Open your eyes, open your eyes. It seems like we're already dead. It feels like we're already dead. This is not my life. This is not my life. I will die, with my eyes open With my eyes open. In your arms. Pestilence. War. Famine and Death. Good book was right on time - sin receives it's divine right. Your gods and your saints never came when the man at the switch turned the end of days. I've seen the valley of the shadow of death I've seen the fall of man. And it seems like we're already dead. It feels like we're already dead. Open your eyes. It feels like we're already dead. This is not my life. This is not my life. I will die, with my eyes open With my eyes open. In your arms. And I wanted to say that when I die my eyes are open And I wanted to say, that you won't try to find me Hell follows me. Hell follows me. Hell follows me. My eyes are open. We're alone. We're Alone. You. You and me. I never looked to the sky above I never asked for help from god I know my actions are my own And when I die I'll be alone What are you afraid of What are you waiting for You need revelations? I'm here. I'm here.

Seventeen and you think she's playing She's cutting her wrists at school Thinking of you now son, and you know it Nothing ventured nothing gained Aren't people all the same Crying tears, misery, promises Never meant to keep Where do you go when you can't see yourself? Where do you go when you can't feel anyone Everything I know, everything in my heart (what's in my heart) Everything I've got is in my heart Hiding behind a shroud of youth The law can't handle teen abuse You just let us do do our job No vigilante justice I wish I had the guts To kill him for all the things he's done I'm stuck in my room punching walls and saying I'm sorry Where do you go when you can't see yourself? Where do you go when you can't feel anyone Everything I know, everything in my heart (what's in my heart) Everything I've got is in my heart I wanted to help, but life isn't fair The red in your eyes, the blue in your hair But then it happened again it happened to someone else. Jessica, Jessica (*no significance to name) We're, still so young

In the face of change, the face of change we will find, find a reason To exist, to feel, to live After singularity gives us a reason to grow the human condition is valuable It's all good Stop listen remain unchanged Commit to change commit to change or we'll fight, fight a reason To exist, to feel, to live understand the human spirit Give us something to know The modern age, nothing's wrong It's alright A reason to live. A reason to live Existence is all I need

Another sign hangs on a gate holding a name like Forest Creek Giving concrete a face. Where people think they've found their Dreams Rip up, old growth forests for the roads, then plant again all in a row Wonder why the kids who live here are on drugs All these houses, containers to frame us On the outside, they all look the same so Look around you, something's gotta change Take a tip and hear what I say. Take a trip down Suffolk way Keep a line but if you turn your head you'll see community not Development Rip up, historic landmarks for the roads then build again, all in a row And wonder why the kids who live here are messed up All these houses, containers to frame us On the outside, they all look the same so Look around you, something's gotta change Making sure, you feel hopeless Making sure, you feel broken Making sure, you're no trouble Making sure, you don't speak out On the inside, no-one can paint us beige. I believe, in fifty years we'll look back on it and we'll just tear down what we had done To save some money but at what cost?

about

This album is a collection of songs we wrote while failing miserably at being a street punk band in Ontario.

We figured the only thing we could count on in our lives was each other - and at the start of each month it was time to fork over the skrill
