New War 03:23
I feel it in the small of my back Believe me, I’m starting to ache I don’t know when that whistle blows Or who I’ve got to pay To get me out of this place I finally feel like I’m starting to age I need this diesel and dust out of my lungs Before I suffocate Things are going all wrong My friends are all looking the same Sold some hopes and dreams for apathy And we’re looking for the delegate Who says to keep our voice lows But I’m thinking it’s a bit too late Cause I’m crossing that line to the other side I’m looking for a change of state I’m tired of feeling so washed up tonight And I’m tired of feeling sorry all the time for myself So I’m looking for a place to stand to pledge this new war’s over Raise the flag I’m not coming back again I’m not letting this go ‘Cause my body’s breaking down I’ll go it alone tonight I feel it in the small of my back Believe me, things are starting to change And I’m crossing that line to the other side Before it gets too late I’m tired of feeling so washed up tonight And I’m tired of feeling sorry all the time for myself So I’m looking for a place to stand to pledge this new war’s over Raise the flag I’m not coming back again

Well, I woke up helpless knowing we were out of time I swore by summer’s end that it would turn out fine But that record player’s skipping And the light is looking dim If I could I’d follow you, my friend If I could I’d see you at the end With the city lighting up like stars Rewind the truth to our youth And feel our skin, free from all the scars Rewind the truth to our youth Before these hospital walls Remember those days driving for the sake of driving A bunch of kids with nowhere to go And we wore it on our sleeves, our hearts tattooed like ink Faded memories of those nights on Toronto streets With the city lighting up like stars Rewind the truth to our youth And feel our skin, free from all the scars Rewind the truth to our youth Before these hospital walls Don’t let go I need to feel you close I need to see you’re here with me With the city lighting up like stars Rewind the truth to our youth And feel our skin, free from all the scars Rewind the truth to our youth Before these hospital walls

It starts again Same old story, same old night that doesn’t end I can feel it in my blood, the whiskey setting in It clouds my thoughts until I feel that calm again It’s frustrating, but I need it Make me all right, I can’t do this any more so I’m leaving Turn around let’s hit the ground running Turn around let’s hit the ground running Bail me out, this ship is going down and I can’t sink in Turn around let’s hit the ground running Turn around let’s hit the ground running I want you to see But you’re not listening I might be slurring my speech The aftermath of you walking out on me It starts again Crowded rooms disconnect the night away Kings and Queens fallout, I’m feeling myself decay And I can’t watch you give them all another day This is selfish, but I need it Make me all right, I can’t do this any more so I’m leaving Turn around let’s hit the ground running Turn around let’s hit the ground running Bail me out, this ship is going down and I can’t sink in Turn around let’s hit the ground running Turn around let’s hit the ground running

Mystic Apes 03:34
It’s growing apparent We’re running out of time Such a fleeting existence No, time ain’t on our side And I’m losing interest But feeling fine No points for good intentions I’m so sick of this afterlife We’re looking for the ghosts of yesterday Don’t want to speak or hear no evil, but that’s all we ever see We’re looking for the ghosts of yesterday Trying to be the kids our parents wanted us to be This is getting confusing All this movement from outdoors We’re outside of ourselves Bodies lifting off the floor And I’m not quite sober But feeling fine If there were gates that I could count on I’d still never be let inside We’re looking for the ghosts of yesterday Don’t want to speak or hear no evil, but that’s all we ever see We’re looking for the ghosts of yesterday Trying to be the kids our parents wanted us to be

Wild Love 04:14
Let’s take a ride, put some miles between us and this place Don’t sell me down the river, I know I can deliver us to better days These streetlights are hanging, a warming glow to light our way Wild love, you and I can break even Batten down the hatches, our reaction time has faded down a shade Paint it out by number, the colors will uncover how to make us stay These streetlights are burning, keeping all the wolves at bay Wild love, you and I can break even Wild love, you and I can break even Wild love, you and I can break
