Young hearts Hands up Everybody in my past gave up Crack my head on the table ‘cause it’s all in my head, yeah, it’s all Makes me feel so unstable ‘cause it’s all in my head, yeah, it’s all Yeah, It’s all, all baby, it’s all, all All in my head Love’s not in the agreement ‘cause it’s all in my head, yeah, it’s all Na na Nothing, na na nothing’s heaven sent ‘cause it’s all in my head, yeah, it’s all All in my head Christian girls laugh at a glance. I said, “When I’m drunk I’ll dance.” I try to keep me all in my head I try and try to fake I’m dead When I die I want the waves to breathe cherry red as I sleep at the bottom of this seabed

Kid waved me down with a grin of sarcasm as if he knew under a sky pink and blue I was like him, my youth’s like a phantom limb but it’s gone but still something I dwell on I’m not gonna let this die No, not this time Meet me under the bridge we’ll binge until the morning and watch the cars drive to local bars We’ll fall asleep at the feet of what we’re ignoring Won’t let it fly We’ll cut the wings off time I’m not gonna let this die No, not this time An old man with heavy arms raised his hand to do no harm He lifted a drink for all the times he spent trying to survive I’m not gonna let this die No, not this time Young hearts hands up everybody in my past gave up

Weather Eye 03:08
Watched by a weather eye on my every move Why am I walking so fast when I’ve got nothing to lose? But I’m lost now within my own confines it’s a hedge maze inside my mind This house has too much company a man sits down beside me He speaks words easy to dispose when in that dim light you rose Where are you now, now, now, now, now, now? ‘cause I’m sold Where are you now, now, now, now, now, now? ‘cause I’m sold The days we consume every blow So hazy, doomed and uncontrolled Will freeze me with your beauty, though so hazy, doomed and uncontrolled Saskatchewan sun on highway one 6 hours where you’re coming from When I open my eyes under pink skies I think who, what, when, why Where are you now, now, now, now, now, now? ‘cause I’m sold Where are you now, now, now, now, now, now? ‘cause I’m sold The days we consume every blow So hazy, doomed and uncontrolled Will freeze me with your beauty, though so hazy, doomed and uncontrolled At a party you’re flying high up when your tied up to a hundred balloons And everyone’s happy for you as you fly out of view Where are you now, now, now, now, now, now? ‘cause I’m sold Where are you now, now, now, now, now, now? ‘cause I’m sold The days we consume every blow So hazy, doomed and uncontrolled Will freeze me with your beauty, though so hazy, doomed and uncontrolled

Disappear 02:42
I’m going to change, I swear I will I’m going to change, I swear I will Now I’m faced with the fact That you’re never coming back I just wanna disappear And if my hope dissolves in sexuality get high with me I just wanna disappear with you I’m going to change, I swear I will When nothing moves I can’t stand still To add to your rock collection here’s the stoic me The stone in me I just wanna disappear Skip me along the lake and then I’m down And I’ll drown I just wanna disappear with you You can’t see me anymore

Lady Lunar 03:44
The moon and a neon sign grasp you from behind your silhouette is just an outline of your design What’s inside? Am I truly out of line? Crickets chirp in my silenced mind I thought you loved me this time these empty thoughts leave decisions blind This one time I’m inside Maybe you could love me if you really tried To close your sorry, little eyes and think of me as some other guy You’re truly twisted, sister and we’re not gonna take it, anymore Your shadow lays upon my naked chest My shadow is dispossessed asking, “Will I ever be more than a guest?” Well, you decide if you could love me if you really tried To close your sorry, little eyes and think of me as some other guy You’re truly twisted, sister and we’re not gonna take it, anymore Maybe you could love me if you really, really, really, really tried So, close your sorry, little eyes and think of me as some other guy You’re truly twisted, sister and we’re not gonna take it we’re not gonna take it we’re not gonna take it, anymore

I said that I would never let you down It’s just you lie, you lie, you lie all the fucking time Who are you? Just try to avoid the snow it gets too cold, too cold, too cold for your gold soul Who are you? So, brother, there’s no other, you’ve got to seal these growing cracks and realize our neighbors are at war like an open store So, brother, there’s no other, you’ve got to seal these growing cracks And don’t purchase anything you can’t Your mind is an open freeway thoughts come too fast, too fast, too fast that they’ve already passed Who are you? No cash with a hobby like that When you spend, you spend, you spend until you see the end Who are you? So, brother, there’s no other, you’ve got to seal these growing cracks and realize our neighbors are at war like an open store So, brother, there’s no other, you’ve got to seal these growing cracks And don’t purchase anything you can’t So, come on I don’t see the end My hand’s free to lend So, grab a hold To get away from the cold To get away from the cold To get away from the cold I cry when life has got you by the throat I’m scared you’ll die, you’ll die, you’ll die when you get too high Who are you?

Dog Years 02:38
Rabbits underneath my feet I’ve been killing here for weeks smoking insect poisons my tongues goes black as the moment passes I think about my choices Well, I choose what I do and I do what I choose in my shoes I am bound to lose everyone around me ‘cause I kill what I can, I’m a killing man with a life span as long as my life plan and that’ll end shortly My brothers and I we sit and hide wait for the fuzz to leave if they come inside it’ll coincide with us hanging off the eaves hopefully run, run, run, run, run ain’t life so much fun when you’re always on the run with a stolen gun named after your father? When they’ve finally won and I’m completely done I’ll still run like my father Yeah, I took up selling drugs to poor and nameless thugs asking, “what’s your poison?” Father ran away Now mother left us stray We still hear their voices That would shake and break like an earthquake our house and make our neighbours wide awake asking, “Do you hear those noises?” I was young with the lung of a man who sung with a raspy voice and a foul tongue I love what destroys me My brothers and I we sit and hide wait for the fuzz to leave if they come inside it’ll coincide with us hanging off the eaves hopefully run, run, run, run, run ain’t life so much fun when you’re always on the run with a stolen gun named after your father? When they’ve finally won and I’m completely done I’ll still run run

Interlude 01:32
9.
Tip toe across this shaking beam Take this fraudulent scheme to the grave, my friend He has a book full of all his quotes We’d sit around and sing the songs I wrote ‘til wolves howled in ‘til the wolves, the wolves howled in He pushed out bags and bags and bags of white into the hands of the night life and slept through the day He said this house made me who I am I deliver my flaws, the deliveryman I’m not happy, anymore I’m not happy, I’m not happy, anymore And it gets so goddamn cold He’s itchin’ in the kitchen and he’s twitchin’ tearing at the stitchin’ so he starts licking a mirror and he’s thinking his reflection’s sinking into a flowing sea of white he’s awake for another night in all the angry phone calls home not one word was spoke or wrote in stone he’d regret it all, he, all, he would all, he, all, he would when the wolves came in when the wolves came in with snow covered paws slave to save the thought of what once was all, he, all, he, all, he would
10.
You were a little red car picking up dust in the backyard and the rain would just stain and be lifted by the closest star And the kids climb inside you whenever they feel to and they’d smoke and they’d joke and laugh the whole night through Well, the doors barely shut and the seatbelt’s left outside The trunk’s filled with beer cans in the summertime When the men came to you and painted you completely blue they repaired and declared you their own Yeah, you were something new Yeah, you were something new Yeah, yeah, you were something, you were something new Well, the doors barely shut and the seatbelt’s left outside The trunk’s filled with beer cans in the summertime And I know you’re happy to see me so happy to see you ‘cause you’ve been lonely, too And the seats filled with burnt, black craters now and the tires flat, sinking into the ground Well, I know you’re happy to see me so happy to see you ‘cause you’ve been lonely, too Well, the doors barely shut and the seatbelt’s left outside The trunk’s filled with beer cans in the summertime And I know you’re happy to see me so happy to see you ‘cause you’ve been lonely, too

Marisa 05:19
Marisa, I’ll miss ya, I want you to stay we met in a dim lit lab in tenth grade You showed me around in my own home town We climbed down the bridge, we climbed down, down, down, down, down Now the exit and entrance they both look the same Shaking out some words to speak a flame when fire starts raging and truth’s all out I’ll just be an arsonist, put the blame on my mouth Well, truth is a boiling river it’s proof that it’s rarely delivered Will you float back home? Will you boil in the foam? Like a year ago Marisa, I’ll miss ya, I want you to stay You said you’re moving to a different city somewhere far in the west coast you took off from pillar to post We arrived home late but I was sober I swear Swam in a cloud of your dark hair It meant risk of rain, risk of tears If I knew you’d be leaving the next year Well, truth is a boiling river it’s proof that it’s rarely delivered Will you float back home? Will you boil in the foam? Like a year ago Marisa, I’ll miss ya, I want you to stay But I know it can’t always be that way Call home, dear Call home, dear Call home, dear They miss you But it’s never going to end No, it’s never going to end No, it’s never going to end No, it’s never going to Call home, dear Call home, dear Call home, dear They miss you

All I live for is beached upon your shore The past seems less and less real and more and more worn by someone who looks a lot like me in a photo I’ve misplaced what I have been I drove to Calgary, punching through high beams When I opened my eyes it was so serene your body climbed on top of me in memory of places I have been When the sandbags in my mind gave way you swam inside like a mermaid I’d catch you but I don’t swim well Aw, hell, farewell, who will tell how long this spell will dwell? And now I’ve filtered it all out, it’s all out I can’t sing with the sound of my own mouth I can’t hide my face, so, don’t speak my name I came to reclaim my frame, I’m not ashamed I’ve changed, I’m not ashamed I fell apart like a daisy chain I’ve changed, I’m not ashamed Now that my mind has drained I’m not ashamed I’m not ashamed I’m not ashamed I’m not ashamed I'm not ashamed I fell apart like a daisy chain I’m not ashamed I’m not ashamed I’m not ashamed Now that my mind has drained I’m not ashamed

Devil 02:42
There’s this devil outside my house Breathe it in and breathe it out Oh, the devil, oh, oh, the devil Here on our suburban streets a place where we used to meet Is gone, woah, is gone You and I watched the sun set so young, this is where we met long so long ago There’s this devil outside my house Breathe it in and breathe it out Oh, the devil, oh, oh, the devil
