Reckless 04:30
Why are you bein’ so senseless? (Go on, light the light) Let harm come while defenceless (Go on, light the light) Wear the fire like a red dress (Go on, light the light) You look beautiful tonight (Go on, light the light) Cradled in the cradle of the sound of the morning, I am proud enough to swim (Did the water catch your fall?) No, the water let me sink! (Did you think you had it all?) Well, I had oxygen to spare I took it blindly from the air (When you comin’ home to feel the warmth of my arms?) As soon as I have made my way out of the mire (Don’t you miss these four walls that shield you from harm?) I can feel four walls wherever I desire! (Don’t you miss your father?) That man was a liar (Don’t you miss your mother?) Her hatred entire! (Don’t you miss me?) Don’t rekindle that fire You already know all the thoughts you inspire But I have seen light, I have, I have seen, I have seen light I don’t want to force your hand I’m a drunk driver I am a deep sea diver But time alone I just can’t stand I’m a conniver I’m a nostalgia reviver I don’t want to toss and turn But I’m a bad sleeper I am a clean floor sweeper And I will let this fire burn Blood runs deeper You are my forever keeper.

Daughter 03:34
In the moonlight In the water I saw a new light The firstborn daughter Don’t hold to your breath It’ll be easier if you let Let in the air Let down your hair But why, why is it so? In a dark house Drawing down the blinds Through my closed eyes All the things that I could find Forever I go Into the blue of the unknown Known in your face Known to erase But why, why is it so?

Youth 04:03
When you were young, you threw every single dream away And you threw snowballs on snowdays You built a fort, deep underneath the ground And you went there when the world got too loud The sun poured in, through windows in the walls Sun to soak in, sun that hugs you when you fall And the grandfather clock woke you up now and then As the world ticks time, time and time again, But you're young, and time's a lung, and a friend. And I...went away for so long, Went away for so long! But I came back in the end - You gotta breathe, receive and send

Twelve 09:59
I took a train into the mountains, Let the showers wash my skin But I was told that rain ain’t water Only sweat can drain so thin So I ran ‘til I hit rivers Cradled softly in the sand But the lake was also fake As it was built by human hands (and I said) Make yourself a home, make yourself a home Burn yourself a fire, burn yourself a fire Bewildered by the beauty of the wilderness I stand And watch the trees that push the leaves That lead the lost back onto land And we are filled with planned blue veins Just as the ice is full of cracks And when the surface which I stand on breaks, I’ll swim and won’t look back No!! Oh...now we’re goin’ home.

about

All artwork by the phenomenal Laurenne Petrie.

This album would not have been possible without the help of many people, and of course the alignment of the heavenly bodies. Like smouldering gratitude volcanoes, our thankfulness rumbles deep within our cores. Here we would like to expel just a little of that magma. To Scott Merritt, Polaris of our musical night sky, our luminous engineer, you led us through this tenebrous process yet again, but like the North Star you're just a little off-kilter. If you were any other way you wouldn't have been able to put up with us. A thousand thanks. To Sue as well, thank you for allowing us to traipse in and out of your home at all hours, thank you for washing the cups we couldn't get to. Sorry we temporarily misplaced your knife. To all of our parents for putting up with our noise, for feeding us, for driving us and our stuff around, and for not sending us to bootcamp. Excellent! To Laurenne Petrie, we give you lists of words – you give us the artistic manifestation of our collective vision. You're the alchemist we need and you always rise to the occasion. Thank you for transmuting our leaden ideas. Thank you to all the bands we've shared the stage with (though “stage” was sometimes a stretch). Thank you to Guelph, its watershed, its architecture, its especially green nooks, and its various elevations. You're good for putting into songs. Timothy Watson, every band has to cut its recording teeth somehow. To Friedrich Nietzsche, primordial unity (or goonity) helped us make some good choices. Thanks for kickin it with us for a while. To all of our fans and friends (you Venn diagrams you), where would we be if you hadn't come to see us play in trees, endured the cold and the rain, and respected our artistic choices when we hit you with walls of madness that were sometimes not ready? Not releasing this album, that's where we would be. And to those toads, you know what you did ;)
