We Are The City

The year I was born, three teens from New York killed a man, the most despicable crime In the same year, Robert McFarlane attempted a suicide. In different ways, both he and a group of American astronomers discovered new kinds of light not yet seen by human...

A shooting star, just 20ft up, I'm like a prisoner in my car, willing to try things I'll never admit. I think I'm gonna be sick, I'm bent out of shape. My bonehead is full of it. She saw her car lift up off our lawn. Is it a sign or is she a fraud? A shoo...

If not for your eyes then I would not still dream we hadn't said goodbye* A dream I had in the night began with a demon in the dark. It appeared on my wall, felt my fear and then dissolved. Then reappeared in my bed, but as a woman instead. With her lips,...

April comes down. She wants to be alive. Alive. Why can't I just talk to God? What would I say? God, I miss home. I miss it now. I miss my house. I miss my home. I miss my grade six love. I miss my health. I miss my home. I miss my grade six love. I miss th...

Maybe there's a weight on the way the stars wait for the light of day and the way light moves. I'm tired of the constellations and fights for euthanasia. Did we ever really land on the moon? Maybe there's a weight on the words "I miss you." Do they repress yo...

little was said between me and that punk kid i don't want to talk i'd rather walk as far away as i can from all the things unseen disguised as things that i see is it true that God waits as all the things that i need ... but all the things that i need are n...

If you feel sad, like all the people here I've hurt just because, I can. Below a twisting reef I'm in shifting sands, level with the surface reign grasses never greener, never without tact. Just the same, you could sink to the bottom of the lake. Just the s...

I shouldn't look at you So I look away Everything is done wrong here I am leaving I look away, I do Things I thought I'd never say, I do It's taken everything in me to stay Now I am leaving Everybody told me that Here I am, look at you No, I think...

Please let dance music start After we have time to get messed up If you let it, the tears will still come I'm tired of melodies like these With no lesson to teach Supply me with the tools All the tools and all I need For melodies like these that nobody...

Everything changed, everything changed I knew this day would come What's worrying worth? It's hard to keep up anger I wish I was in love I couldn't speak to sadness but now Please no more I think I've seen enough I've never known you to cruel Uncool S...

I miss the days more than my youth when you'd come meet me where I stand, where I am, where I've been. I'll try to teach my kids to grin even when I'm ill and face my end. I know you feel the way I feel, although every tongue that's split has its own sick way...

my home videos won't mean a thing in fifty years that day will come and all i've done will be rendered forgotten old vhs tapes — the broken arm and the baby — my first bike ride when my dad told me he wouldn't let go of the seat vhs videos — "here he is, t...

In the cold snow, dark air, frozen road* I drink, my mind is full They're high in the house Within the bright door, warm air, bathroom floor I'm beat, my mind behold We're high in the house 

No I'm not here waiting on anyone, especially not Jessika But I feel love inside my heart And it's me you want not that boy from France or Quebec or something else And it's me, I'm here, I wouldn't be this way if I got what I wanted No, I definitely did...

Crawl Walk Talk Pick you up at the mall Crop Top Bricks are heavy But they keep things together Take some time to define myself Take my time to define what's heavy She's heavy as a brick She's heavy as a brick sometimes She's heavy as a brick Sh...

If I had a son, I'd teach him to hide, All of the evil from out of his mind. Invisible clearly, the being of pride. And I call that evil and you call that nice. And I know, something you don't. What's fair my dear, see you gotta know. I know something you...

In a quiet world. I used to have my health, I had my health. But now I am ill. Now I am ill. 

I went outside, a beating in my head And I kept on dancing Don't stay inside, don't go to bed Got to keep on dancing I lose my mind, I'm status obsessed Got to keep on dancing The deep and the dark, the beat less and less But I keep on dancing Whateve...

Does it suprise you to know that I'm full of feeling that change? Does it surprise you to hear the truth from my mouth, "I've been lonely for weeks"? If you're thinking of yourself you should think of me instead You're always thinking of yourself I'm o...

Kiss me, honey like you mean it, And repeat it, and repeat it I'll pop hopes like jokes in the funny paper Kiss me, honey like you mean it, And repeat it, and repeat it I'll pop hopes like jokes in the funny paper Haven't you done anything else? Our ha...

I knew my legs had given out I thought I'd found a new way to react I'm miles away from influence But I know that there's a new way for me to act I knew my legs had given out I though I'd fall but something helped me up Some Where Home Set me apart S...

I follow myself everywhere I go Everywhere I go I follow myself I think I know what I think I know Feeling empty, this empty feeling I like attention, I like the feeling Lay bare attention, attention is fleeting I feel like emptiness is just a feeling...

do you feel fine? please, pull me like the moon pulls the tide and if i'm set to walk on land then my sandy bones will turn to glass and i'll wait for them to crack it's a door shut tight it's a morning song it's a morning song when i weep it's a mor...

My old friend, tell me: where have you been? Have I wasted away? Did you wait 'til the end? And how have you been? I can't remember your eyes. All the stars are still here, and all my tears turn to time. My old friend My old friend, tell me: where ha...

And after all that I own, I have some sort of peace Next to nothing left At all My own Hard cold cash is all that I'll have Throw away all that you leave behind. (In this darkness I find I'm awake. My perspective's changed again. In this darkness I find time...

Did you take all that you saw for all that it was? And is it alright to trawl my little tongue along the ocean floor Until I find something good to take home for my kids? Did you take all that you saw for all that it's worth? And is it alright to trawl my lit...

Punch my face and chase my friend down the things that God provides are not what I want right now Communal meal, it's a hard lesson learned, I am the weakest animal on this earth when you called the police I sat there crying on the phone I thought I...

Penny rollers in my pants Like revert back I'm not like that Panty hoes, cigarettes Like Riverdance I'm not like that It's just like Black Beauty in the river bed Just like that Sign my name MYSTERY Call me BABYLON Now I don't say whatever The Moth...

In the sun my colour fades In the distance there, a mountain range The Spirit isn't dead, it's transforming in me I waited on a call that didn't come A selfish talk about selfless thoughts in me Take my picture Pick me up in a cab I'm not the man I th...

All my friends get along with the idea of growing up* All my friends, makeup on, it's Friday night. All my friends can't get along with the idea of growing old. I'm feeling good. I'll say the least, my friends are not so cool these days. Keith, Cam, and...

Now I know what you're on about. Stand down or take charge of the house. I want to mold these holes into faces. Come on and take my heart and please begin to heal it. She said "let me clean my teeth and I'll be right down." She said "let me clean my teeth and...

I pull the line out before the hook gets the mouth of anyone else. Help, I've caught fire at the mouth. And if I fight, will I be gunned down? And I am scared for my wife. They said she'd be okay, that her pain would be paid. Help, I've caught fire at the hel...

Oh, I miss the stars. I've got nothing at best to say, but try to understand. And she takes the pills and deals me an honest hand, And says "leave it for other men." Try to understand. And I sing "oh, brother please understand." And we don't deserve blessin...
