Who Are We

Let’s talk about the weather
Cause my sweater covers all my fucking shame
This is warmer than September
And the city who I love might be to blame
I’ll send my cavalry
Hide and seek
Count to three and be a man
It’s the nights that set you free
Who are we?
Who are we to be ashamed?
The ghost of summers past
Is scrolling through my phone, what a pain in the ass
Naked on the grass
Freedom isn’t complementary
Growing up is not what I learned in class
Well it came to me at last
All of me
My body is in the past
And if that’s what makes my name
Who are we?
Who are we to be ashamed?
I’m wading through my dream
By the quay
You found me in this state
This night just set me free
Who are we?
Who are we to be ashamed?
So we talked about the weather
And that night I burst my lungs just yelling your name

Friday in the Basement

We were calling for the same rhyme
In a den of smoke and shit
We’re spinning candles on a dime
We’re kids and won’t admit it
I said what I was thinking
And found myself out here
We made out by this park swing
Where the harbour lights appear
I’ll let you in for free
Cause everyone let go of me
I’ll let you in for free
The records are my company
It’s what I’ve seen
It’s where it leads me
It’s what I’ve seen
It’s what I’ll be
Eva’s mother’s corner store
Is where we got our first beers
Well you stole them as I tagged along
And I wasted all my years
(And my fear)
Douse my heart in kerosene
(I can’t hear)
Seething on my bike
(In top gear)
Well the faces are a blur to me
(And you’re here)
Purple turns to midnight
(It’s not fair)
Where were my big city dreams
(It’s not fair)
When I had my chance to breathe
(It’s not fair)
You’d better not let go of me
(It’s not fair)
I’ll never let you back

Brothers

I’ll ask again
If I steal your pride
Will I feel better then?
Cause you’re pushed awry
It’s dark outside
I saw brothers in hope
You were printing snow
I’m gonna jump off that rope
Cause I have no breadth to grow
I’m falling slow
Unforgiven
On a gale force night
We fell in battle
Knocking out your spine
You didn’t need it, right?
(I’m glad you came because I needed to remind myself)
Just a couple nights
(I’ve changed in spite of what you think, you never)
Made up my whole life
(Understood where we went wrong, I know because I)
I never meant them though
(See you fall into the same old habits I’ve outgrown)
Cause I held you in tow
It’s time to grow

Well I missed your birthday
So I took you out today
We talked about burning
And whether I’m turning everyone away
I said I’ll pay
I should’ve been there yesterday
You got your first job washing dishes
While I played my violin
I was easily forgiven
Now my ambition is wearing thin
And I regret
The words I never said
(instrumental)
It’s not over yet
Cause the roadblocks are in my head
Will you teach me to forget?
So I can put my mind to bed
And I’ve been stressed
Ever since I left
When we were ten, you said
This lakeside’s where we’ll rest

Golden

I tore the poster through
I’m sick and tired
Of crystals on my shoes
I’m not too inspired
It’s a black and white movie
And I’m sitting in dread
And the ghost of the old me
Came to tell me that I’m next
I left the door open
For an hour of sleepless rest
‘Cause the light’s streaming golden
And you’re beating in my chest
The moment I said it
I took the train and I went
It left me indebted
To the monster under my bed
(I feel let in)
Summer nights for our choices
(I know it hurt him)
They peel away my stress
(Just summer friends)
We swallowed our voices
And we sung out our regrets
I left the door open
For an hour of sleepless rest
‘Cause the light’s streaming golden
And you’re beating in my chest
And I feel a bit broken
As the colours rustle my head
‘Cause the light’s streaming golden
And this chapter came and went
I’m spent
