Lost Like You

I was once so small like you
I felt every surface
Heard your blood flowing through your veins
Tracing your sweet smile lines
Aren’t we selfish?
I was once so small like you
I believed in love
Waiting for our future to pass
Dwelling in the depths of a canyon
Are we hopeless?
It’s all the same in your stomach
Don’t you know it’s in your head
In the end it’s all darkness
In the end it’s all darkness

Fresher Fruit
04:01

If my name and his name have got your tongue in knots
What else of me have you not forgot?
Is my face still fresh or has it wavered?
Your silent slips as you sweetly savour
Fresher fruit that has not come to rot
If you closed your eyes and felt each of our palms
To which hand would your tender touch belong
Would your fingers scream out “Lover!” “Stranger!”
If they called your lips to lend a favour?
Would either tango’s tempo taste so wrong
I found peace since you bolted up your door
My dreams have long ceased to find us tumbling on the floor
We’ve moved on to fresh arms that keep us warm
But you can’t keep straight
Our names and voices and kisses and faces
Guess time obscures but never erases
The bonds we build and we break and we bury in vain
So keep me tied, taught, tightly between your teeth
That wicked word of love’s obsurd bequeath
‘Cause habits they die hard if ever
Despite your best attempts to sever
Stubborn roots still tangled down beneath

I'm rowing my boat off to the shore
The waters are calm I am ready to go
But I feel it behind me, it threatens my home
Escaping the storm
There is a darkness, but there'll be a light
If I surrender would you be my home?
And if I let go won't you leave me alone?
And when I am hungry you feed me your sh*t
When I am lonely you are my friendship
There is a darkness, but there'll be a light
Balancing on the abandoned train tracks
I'll try not to fall if that train it rolls back
But I'm testing this out, this experiment
When it boils over I burn all my bridges
There is a darkness but there'll be a light
It's under my skin and it's shaking my bones

Mirror
03:08
|

We are so fragile
Each one our own
We are weighed down
You are so careful
Tiptoe, your words
Are drifting
Gentle
Your expressions
Mirror are you there?

Northeast Southwest
02:01
|
|||
Well the distance oh it ain’t so big
And what’s in between is in our heads
Don’t we know it
And if we knew just where we are
We’d still be hurt and stuck and scarred
Can’t get around it
We’re in between to cities and two hearts
Can’t ever choose won’t ever depart
‘Cause Northeast Southwest I’m coming home
And as I sleep you transport me
And all the rest is just a dream
It’s music
And when I’m there won’t forget you
Beyond the bounds you’re waiting still
Moving along

Darcy (D.)

She was a pretty girl
Wide-set blue eyes
Driving down the highway junction
Montreal to Vancouver
She got lost in the horizon
Squeezed ourselves onto a park bench
Heads resting on each other’s shoulders
O. says you want me to say a prayer
And I think what would it matter anyway
Saw her again that day
She was standing on the chapel steps
Wide set blue eyes focused beyond mine
Back turned to the sky

Your Light
04:24
|
|||
Your light fills the sky
Your bleakness swallows us whole
The spark is burning cold
Your energy lies on the cusp
Of stillness
I am present as I disappear
You and I so connected
Plunges into loneliness
Power that was mine
You’ll never get it
You’re unaware, you’re irresponsible
You love yourself
You are alone
You’re sinking, you are sinking
You are so big
I am forever small
I am pretty
I am not much at all
I am not much at all
When I am yours

So It Goes
02:54
|

And so it goes on
Waiting for it to be my turn
And if this is love
Oh god, won’t you please strike me down?
I had a boy his name was Sam
Pretty little thing he wasn’t half bad
Took him to the bridge down in old port Mark
Just to leave him there alone in the dark
I had a girl her name was Gene
She was real sweet
Never petty or mean
Didn’t wanna hurt her or make her a fool
But other prospects are awaitin’
No time to lose
Now it’s springtime
Everything’s renewed
Everyone’s a wanting and a grasping in tune
Little do they know and little do they see
Affections are a fickle
Ain’t never what they seem
