intro 01:30
i wish i could save us all with these words save us all from our selves, endlessly trying to start living the whole day through with dry eyes because it didnt hurt to be alive. ~these words are sung knowing we're not alone in saying them.
2.
Will you hold this note with me just a couple bars to drown out everything trying to kill us would you hold it while i cry, would you cry with me cause i cant stand the silence on my own and its killing everything i dont think we'll make it on our own i dont think we'll make it im scared we're the only ones who know im scared that we might break out in song and there'll be no one there to sing along teach me how, how you got through life in so few breaths what are the tricks you use to survive in a world like this cause though it still hurts to wake up sometimes its getting easier to make it through the day, but still i is it so wrong to feel this way i asked, to feel like we're all dying you just took my hand and shook your head “this world is killing everything we love” those words were yours not mine, but i agree with every part of me, oh i. ~this song is about feeling like you dont belong anywhere and the world isnt made for you. Which it isnt. I speak this as a trans*persyn and as someone who lives with severe depression, where i feel like the binaries and stigma perpetuated by this society perscribe assimilation and/or invisibility.
3.
Can i stand next to you only, for this next tune would you just sway with me slowley, im begging you cause latley im needing convincing, in what its worth and somthing about standing here dancing with you just works Can i sit next to you over, overlooking the earth would you show me everything id miss, cause with the shit that i wouldnt its hard to be sure and please dont be scared if i tell you, i wish it would all burn away just tell me everything will be ok ~this song is about being at a show and trying to forget about the shitty things that bring us down.
4.
if this bathroom had a telephone, id call you from this tile floor and ask if you rememeber, driving me to the hospital i thought i was dying, there was blood on my teeth you knew that i wasnt dying, but you humored me looking back those were the good old days running from myself i pushed you away i guess not much has changed still almost dying waking up in your clothes got sick and tired of money and assholes and moved back home funny now those were the good old days running from myself i pushed you away mold and mice a bed i shared with you now all thats left are hazy memories and bad tattoos ~this song is about the ways friendships can change over time, and how difficult it can be to deal with those changes. it's about realizing you're putting half as much as you're taking out of a relationship. it's about giving people space when it's the last thing you want to do. it's about letting go and growing the fuck up, and for my best friend.
5.
i cant breath, for the life of me i feel it on the streets in all the ways you stare inside me you see me, what do you see will you tell me to fuck off completely? reach out and grab me shake the death out of me give me a reason not to feel defeat so easily i breath deep, for the life of me these words are not mine but sometimes i swear they saved my life i debrief, just to get it out of me, you know what im sayin? ~this song is about trying to leave the house and expieriencing glares and verbal harrasment because of your appearance
6.
watertower 02:37
i once climbed the water tower, i was all alone started getting that sinking sunken feeling like if i fell well it feels kinda like that now the way things are going its hard to tell but i feel like we're loosing our whole world so please dont leave me now searching for that simple thing the one that makes sence of it all but theres no such thing as simple things, anymore i drank a pint of whisky, i was all alone just one more thing to regret before i go when that is i dont know searching for, oh i forgot now something about, oh i dont know ~this song is about climbing the water tower in the southwest of montreal, and about trying to come to terms with living with depression.
7.
come so far to get nowhere at all, out of every car, around every corner in this town tonight im mad enough to do something i might regret fill you with the fear that i felt cause these sidewalks arnt safe, its a scary fucking place cause no one should have to walk with their keys in their hands this isnt self defence its refuckingvenge if only it was as simple as in our fantasies, id make you as scared as you make me cause nowhere is safe, this worlds a scary fucking place so when your shitty friends see your face, dont forget to say how a fags fist tastes for all those times we couldnt fight back, and all those nights we've been harrassed by useless bro's, and fucking pigs, oh all those wars we wish to wage on you. ~this song is about my own experience (and a close friend's experience) with street harassment. it's a sort of revenge fantasy. it was an important song for me to write, however i acknowledge that i have immense amount of privilege as a white, cis, male etc. and there are tonnes of people who experience violence way more often and in different ways than i do. this song is for anyone who's ever had to deal with any form of street harassment
