Prairie Sun
06:05
|
|||
[Verse 1]
Step out of the Dark, and into the light where my skin burns
The prairie sun, has fooled me once again this year
It won't take long, and if you're not strong that's cool with me
The wind if cold, please come into my home
[Chorus]
The autumn sky is nice, just get some sleep tonight
This Saskatchewan boy is grown, gonna find some sleep tonight
[Verse 2]
West Saskatoon, the year was 1994
We were having fun, we were children having a rock fight
It didn't take long, and that's how I got the scar on my forhead
Remember it? That's how I remember it.
[Bridge]
Stay up late with me
Fall asleep with me
Stay with me tonight

Weekend Ritual
01:57
|
|||
[Verse 1]
I want to get trashed on a Saturday
So that I can skip out on another day
I'd rather waste my life than play the game
I slash my wrists, and slowly I fade away
[Chorus 1]
I'm bleeding out x4
[Verse 2]
I'm gonna paint my face in ritual
So I can gnash my teeth til my blood bowl's full
Don't you listen to the radio
The news they spew, you know it is a hoax
[Chorus 2]
It is a hoax x4

Dead Friends
03:52
|
|||
[Verse]
I killed my best friend, I put a bounty on his head
I killed my bet friend, the man he shot him, and now he's dead
[Chorus]
Leave me alone, Leave me alone
Wah, Wah, Wah wah
[Bridge]
As you sleep the blood of your enemy is trickling thick into you concious dream
And when you think you're free, you're trapped in your world

C'est La Vie
03:22
|
|||
[Verse 1]
Tell me when it's time to go, and I'll pack my things
And i'll walk along these white covered streets
The long and cold walk home, is one I dred because I'm all alone
Please accept my plea, someone please
[Chorus]
I'm a noman
I dn't got no home
I got a place where I hang my hat
But I don't belong
[Verse 2]
I need to change the scene, man I hate the snow
The sun is always blocked out, it's minus fourty below
Freezing blistering on my skin
I can barely pay the bills,and still inflation grows
I feel like a failure I never met my goals
C'est La Vie

When You Call
03:19
|
|||
[Verse 1]
I am a scum bag, you don't want to go
You bring me down, becuase it hurts
I don't even know why I even stick around
You don't do anything for me
[Chorus]
But when you call I'm always around to pick up x4
[Verse 2]
Just like last weekend while I wasn't sober
You call me up, you were fake to the T
I don' even know why, I keep you around
You don't mean anything to me
[Bridge]
I don't know how to say know to you

Poorly Painted Apartment
03:24
|
|||
[Verse]
Get a job, and raise a family take a wife
Live in the suburbs it would be nice
But I can't adjust to anything
I'm aparently not the American dream
[Chorus]
So I retreat to my lower class poorly painted apartment
Where I keep to myself
I keep my mouth shut and I don't step out of line
and things should all be fine, ain't life beautiful?
[Verse 2]
Toxic dreams fill my memories
I gotta clear my head and rid of enemies
Burn the bridge to the place where I don't belong
Maybe I'd be better of on my own than a mindless drone
[Bridge]
I'm an under achiever
I can do so much better

Soak Up My Dream
03:41
|
|||
[Verse]
Am I supposed to be you prince charming?
I guess I'd like to be, if you'll have me
I don't know if I got what it take to please you
Even if you were mine I'd probably still be unsure
Soak Up My Dream
[Verse 2]
Sunny river bank
Take pleasure in a swim
I got some pharmacutical narcotics in my system
Life is feeling pretty good
Even though i'm a mess
This life is temporary but my journey will never end

Plan 'E
04:27
|
|||
[Verse]
So I got me some powder, and I rolled up a queen
I put it in my nose and snorted that plate clean
I do it again, I still want some more
I finished my bag close to half past four
The girl in the short skirt was pissing me off
I guess it's time, I better shove off
Tonight was a good night for sure
[Chorus]
Caught in a dream flipping threw magazines
This come down is bumming me out
Nothing lasts forever
Nothing is clever atleast not anymore
[Verse 2]
Throwing down the lane on a Saturday night
What was in my drink? Do I feel alright?
I'm feeling kind of sleep, man i think I'll go home
Think I'll watch some tele and strum some drone
Tonight was a good night for sure

Classic Butchery
02:20
|
|||
Wake up in the morning, grab a cup of coffee
Put on my socks and walk right out that door
Only to meet my nemesis, right out that door
Please don't make me go home tonight
For I won't be here tomorrow
There's a rope noose hanging from my ceiling
Screming my name
Hello Reaper won't you take me out on a trip
You can hack my limbs for the Kodak if it's pleasurable for you
Life is doll, I wonder what death feels like
Is it greener on the other side?
Is there anything at all?
Who knows, who knows

Bobby's Place
01:35
|
|||
[Verse 1]
She got stoned so she could not make it
To the show on Friday night
I got drunk, and fell down a stairwell
Tearing up my blue jeans
[Chorus]
Because she don't like her own bleached hair x4
[Verse 2]
I got fucked when I started bumping
I rolled it up
now I'm the one half cut
[Bridge]
She don't got her head on straight
So I'll stay up late and smoke a ciggarette
[Verse 3]
She got stoned so she could not make it
To the show on Friday night
I got drunk and fell down a stairwell
I never made it to Bobby's Place

Okotoks
02:15
|
|||
[Verse 1]
In Okotoks there is a woman who lives in fear everyday
That they don't come back for her, and her family
They took her husband in a black car, and she hasn't seen him since
Their family is scared
[Chorus]
So what do you do?
To fill the time when you so afraid
it's just too bad that you still have to go to work
And just relax as if there's nothing wrong
[Verse 2]
A threat of violence is upon us
Was it his fault? Or maybe it was mine
I could've kept him from the pony show,
So then he wouldn't owe
A loanshark or his dealer
Needle in his arm, is how south police will find him
Seven weeks from now
