Goodnight

I swear it's over this time
I'll leave my problems in the clenched fists of last year
We could have never planned out
How this all has panned out
And I'll scream
From my last dying breath
"Take me back to that cold September night
Where my only consolation was the barren street lights.
It was a right hand turn off Sask drive
Where a love was found and my spirit died."
And at night
I'll see that train coming
And I'll lay my head
On those tracks
Goodnight
I'm not waking up.

Conflict
02:58
|

If civil war meant death to civilians
We've got it down to a science.
The Gaza strip is a fucking minefield
The west bank is in dire need
Of their God now.
Palestinian authority against Israeli control
We are one people we should already know
Not to pray
As the death toll rises every fucking day
It's coming to an end
A conflict doesn't always mean
One side against another.
Too many armies
Without names or flags.

Daddy did you hear me crying
And whining
I didn’t want you to leave.
Daddy did you hear me suffer
And muster
Every single goodbye?
Daddy did you hear me calling
And stalling
every last minute together?
Daddy did you hear me scream
And howl
All the ways you let me down?
I swear I heard you say “Who do I love more than I love you?”
“No one” I said
You said I was right.
I know that I was wrong.
A little more than kin, and less than kind.

Regret
03:16
|

You looked at me
I looked back.
You kissed me
So I kissed back.
You said you cared
That was that.
Now I regret
And am putting on an act.
Like I don't give a shit who you're talking to
Or the fact I was the asshole who fell for you
Like the only thing that matters is living for the day
When I was the reason that we threw it all away.'

Don't bury the lede

I’ve got my pen to the page but I’m drawing a blank
The lines sink together and I can’t begin to think.
The letters come so close that I can hardly read
Is this another love song or a cry of someone in need.
One more for the boys
And another for the girls.
Dashing tuxedos
And Grandma’s favorite pearls.
Portraits of a family
And falling in line.
Portraits of abuse
And my fatherless whine.
I’ve got this pain in my heart and I’m coming up red.
Is this just a case of nausea or the beginning of the end?
Is this a cold vacant stare or the weight of my frown?
Is this the death from hypothermia in this cold fucking town?
One more for the kids,
and another for myself.
A hospital patient
Defeated by mental health.
Was this really the plan?
Is this really unknown?
Is this the path that we lead?
With our hearts made of stone.

Badges
Sirens
Guns
Handcuffs
There's violence in the city
Hot cop car strobe lights
On the beat of city streets
On the beat of coloured
Lesser beings.
We see them destroy
No fucking thank you.
Fuck that pendant
I know what's going on.

If home is just a place
And love is just a word
Then why do I feel so attached?
A world I am sick of
A city that I hate
A girl that I love
Why can’t I get it straight?
A struggle for divinity
A life of fucking infamy
Why can’t I find normality
Or at least fucking morality?
Can’t go to sleep- nocturnal
Going straight to hell- infernal
This life is too damn long- eternal
I’m blessed and cursed- a mere mortal.
You arms are a place for me
To store this fucking misery
I hope someday you’ll come home soon
We’ll kiss again under full moon
I’m going straight to bed I said
To rest this tired and dreary head
I won’t wake up until I can
Go back to fucking bed again
If home is just a place
And love is just a word
Then why do I feel so attached?

Lost & Found
03:49
|

The light at the end of a tunnel
Was really a dull spark
Hope that conjured before us
Losing all faith- I’m giving up
I didn’t find what I was looking for
But once I stopped looking it all became clear
I didn’t find what was searching for
I didn’t have to search, you were right here
Restless, hopeless, lifeless, soul less
I found you,
I finally saw what I was looking for
I found you,
A love of life- a revelation
If this love is like water
I hope it never stops raining
If this love is like fire
Set my life into flames
I thought it was better to be lost than found
I thought it was better to hide than seek
If this love is my life
I am immortal
