Things take time
I wish I was told
Did you think that I’d haunt you?
I don't know, I don't know
Burned my diploma with your magnifying glass
And your pockets were full, with our feet in the grass
Did you hear me stutter? I almost said I loved you
With the mirror in the grass, ice cream marked along the glass
You're Sawyer w/ Adeline
You’re Michael w/ Roosevelt
14 hours what a drive
Just my best friend at my side
I’m a bad influence
Car broke down but I’m used to it
$1400 in my name
‘Rained’ all week, oh what a shame
Zipline, all I know is you
Gazing stars, shit, what a view
Rundown building by the sea
Never ever trust the trees
(If I could forget I would have left it long ago
Buried in the sand with your face looming, making shade
I think I spilled my guts and then got too drunk and forgot)
Fainting all the time now, our storyboards made to drown
Can’t catch it til’ it’s over, black cat hair soaked in swamp water now
A four leaf clover, found it in the field by your house
Poster on my wall

Burning up in the spells you cast
And I made it work and I made it last
Burning all your MP3s
Mixtapes, handwritten melodies
How many fights can we have in a week?
How many breakdowns can I h-
Greyhound rides to Edmonton
Screaming at the top of my lungs:
"Bear Creek Park Train,"
They made out in the arcade,
Pitch black nails and green haired girls
Blackberries in a national park
Sleep it off, don’t drive in the dark
Friendship like pure sunshine
Acid trips inside your van
And I hate this, and I hate this, and I hate this, and I hate this
Filling up my disposable with
Memories that I know I’ll regret
But I hate this, and I hate this, oh I hate this, I hate it all
Set you off, did I set you off? Did I set you off? Did I set you off?
A shouting match in darkness, how I’m lying through my teeth
No need to tell me twice
Oh how I’ll realize
Didn’t cut me off, but I let you down, was the flash left on? Did I set you off?
Never got hear you say my real name
Carrot cakes, a black dress, moving out in November
Sunflowers block my sight again
Of pearls of gems and heaven
Recital did not go as planned
I'd give it all up for you
Sunflowers block my sight again
Your love like petals on my skin
Seven broken bones it’s a penance, I guess
I’d give it all up for you
Sunflowers block my sight again
Starred pattern on my cardigan
Four stolen hugs saved up for Japan
I’d give it all up for you
I’d give it all up for you
Sing me songs and I’ll sing you mine
The car’s been stuck since like last July
Oh it changed me forever,
This stupid sweater
Find it harder to wake most days,
Threads pulled tight by the words you say
Friendship like barbed wire,
Wrapped it all around my heart
I’m holding on to stems and leaves
And clouds above my weather.by
A hometown hero fantasy
“Hey, how are you?”

I see her in the mirror, It’s been getting clearer
I’ve worked for this all my life
Pillbox on my nightstand, I think about it often
Text each other on our birthdays
You will go to heaven I’ll be stuck in the wetlands,
I’ll visit you on weekends, baby won’t you let us
Waste our lives in bookstores while wearing all our pretty clothes
Complain and bark your ear off, I hate it here now I hate it here
O’Neil Tower I’d wish the sky was green
O’Neil Tower you’re loud and you’re mean
O’Neil Tower I hate the color red
O’Neil Tower friends dancing round your head
O’Neil Tower the framing’s just not right
O’Neil Tower you’d pry with all your might
O’Neil Tower I don’t think we’re in love
O’Neil Tower the best if we just fuck
O’Neil Tower I’d wish the sky was green
O’Neil Tower you’re loud. You’re mean
O’Neil Tower I hate the color red
O’Neil Tower I’d wish that you were dead
O’Neil Tower I can’t forget your face
O’Neil Tower I’d wish we’d set a pace
O’Neil Tower I don’t think we’re in love
O’Neil Tower I think we’re giving up, for good
‘Hometown hero! I wish that you were here
Fuck this city, I’m playing games inside your ear
O’Neil Tower I think I take it back
I hate my shadow I’d never hate your cat
Hometown headstones! Wish I was seven feet deep
I hate that building, an analog, designed retreat
The haunted haunt each other, end of time
Your cat just kills the mould, I love her still I love her still
Face hug your pavement
When you brought those gems to me
Then we split them with our ‘friend’
Coin toss on a river bend
Green, blue, evaporated
Singing sweatshirt melodies
Then the tripod legs give way
We can paint it another day

Winter Theme 2012

I don’t have flowers
I’ve got frostbite and mixed emotions
I’ve got that sweater on
It’s getting cold, It’s getting cold
Kick me in the shin and laugh
I stop and kick snow back
You’ve got that jacket on
Froze up when you touched my hand
Legs shaking in my boots at your front door
That I bought on your credit card
Home movies and long haired men
I don’t understand them
I sang about a car crash that year,
Rear view mirrors never seem to crack
Sail on fire in the emptiness
Inertia never felt so real
Do you feel anything knowing that I'm up in flames?
I know it’s not your fault
Can’t help but blame you either way
And in a state I saw the whole world at my feet
The colors in my mouth
Started working their way out
There was a song I knew the words for all along
Blistered feet walk through the snow
Chase your best friend let them go
Believe me when winter owls came along
I sang them all your favorite song
They told me that the words were wrong
But no worries they said you were on your way
Broken bones no not today
Then the owls had their way
And I don’t think we’re gonna make it
We’re not even really trying
Friendship breaks and Centre Street
Thrifting dates that’s artistry
An asterisk* after your name
My feet have trouble gripping sand
Our tape like half-lives standing still
Hugging fences in the dark
An ego death you wish I had
Called you later, did you die?
Forgive me sister I have sinned
Your art like patchwork on my skin
Said it wouldn’t end like this,
Forget my lines
My tires slip in the snow
She told me long ago
That my eyes look tired
I tried to fix them
Caught in the barbed wire
Set my fucking heart on fire
I don’t know what makes me afraid of you
I don’t want to love you I’d love to hate you
And you're gone
I just fuck strangers and get high, complain when I’m sober
I don’t miss you
Don’t you fucking think I do
Can’t see through all the smoke I’m constantly blowing out my lungs

Feels like I wasted my life on a movie, can you see me now?
Chronic filmmaker, project my thoughts in your paint
There’s no use shouting my name, you’d treat it like a mistake
My first kiss was with a character I made to represent you
I said I hated your guts, you didn’t see it back then
I got stuck on the word ‘love’ when the mirror was clean
I’ll say happy birthday, Anna
Oh the loneliest tree, did you end up painting it red?
I know it’s all just pretend, you’ll insist that I’m so sweet
But will you please forgive me? Will you please forgive me?
I’m sorry I swear,
Preservatives have their hold on me
You wake up in the woods,
You hear a voice in the trees
You’re trying, shouting my name
You just hear birds and that voice
It says get up on your feet
Your eyes are darting around, trying to locate your dread
You just find colors instead
A book stapled to a tree
Try your best to fill it out
The colors working their way
We know you meant the best. We had good intent
The Sun glares into my eyes
I said it’s rude to stare
But the Sun doesn’t care,
the Sun is aware of her lives
She was a pilot in ‘85
She died in car crash
I died by her side
Everything survives I thought I made it clear
The light the hits my solar sails, the wind isn’t picking up
4 figs in a fig tree, Sawyer and Adeline
I never used to smoke
I’ll go if you want me to
I’ll pick up that torch for you
Save up all my dollars, do I need a haircut?
I’ll breathe the way you want me to
I’ll fall asleep to thoughts of you
Ethical marketing, build up your redundancies
I’ll crash your car like artists do
I’ll break your bones and marry you
Temporal infractions, the thought that we’ve met once before
Y’know that we all died for you
He’ll run away and picture you
Chasing your dreams as he rips the clothesline apart

Things take time, I know I was told
I tried to steal a car last night
Thought I’d heard your crying voice from the cave at that park
I thought it quicker to drive, I thought it quicker to drive
I got caught; all my tires shot out
Hit a tree but I can shake it, My back it has to take it, yeah
Head hit the dash and my colours open
Shards of windshield on the ground, the door open: I jump out
I ran into more trees, I mean I went in deeper
Present and past tense, nothing ever makes sense to me
Drawing a spell in the air, you made sure we kept canyons
Between us, absence, always lock your doors
We begged and prayed
We said 'We're not afraid'
'I want a short life. I've got a screenplay'
You thought it all just for show?
You thought I'd just let you die?
My heart still chases lead
She still makes words fit together
You and your double again, huh?
You're really showing your face in my city?
I told you nothing survives, yeah?
So call a taxi, I'm thinking nothing is love
