Leap Year

An extra day
Won't settle your remains
Or bring back
The past treasures you claim
Looking forward
It seems about the same
A bad timing thing
A mad rhyming game
You always look before you leap
Can't ever stomach the uncertainty
You always look back and weep
At each passing year
Were you already
Veering off the path
When the brush got thick
When you were rushing from the past
When the way went dark
And you let go of the wrath
Fell down a rabbit hole
Of poorly explained math
You always look before you leap
Can't ever stomach the uncertainty
You always look back and weep
At each passing year
A trendy fashion
Won't change the way you feel
Choppy waves in the ocean
Always off keel
It's not just for show
That beam of steel
When it melts you always know
Shit gets real

Groundhog Day
03:30
|
|||
Tomorrow never comes
The sun never shines
A dark angel hovering over me
Expectations I cannot meet
Sit in the corner
Over by the balcony
The time to act on lies
Has finally arrived
It's Groundhog day at last
This winter's going to last
Confessions of fear
Of yr own damn shadow
Mirrors yr every move
Only somehow even darker
A universe of questions
Repeating so much death
I can learn a thousand songs
And teach you how to dance
It's Groundhog day at last
This winter's going to last
Tomorrow is a joke
A disappearing act
A comedy routine
A magician's top hat
Stand on the stage
At the podium
An orator's dream
Then the radio wakes you up
It's Groundhog day at last
This winter's going to last

February

Bless your heart
You found the right place
Bless your heart
Now give me some space
When the wet wears me down
White turning to brown
The eaves troughs wear a crown
Of ice; I'm always feeling down
A chill that doesn't end
That cold, dank trend
The cheery mood I can't pretend
I'm a shitty winter friend
Fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh
February
Fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh
February
Staying in, locking doors
Frost on the pane of the living room window
Catch up on reading Northern lore
Costs you nothing to bring gloomy sleet and snow
A chill that collects
The frostbite resurrects
We wrap our scarves around our necks
And honour and respect
Fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh
February
Fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh
February
When the wet makes me melt
Trained but not dealt
Doesn't matter what I felt
If it didn't leave a welt
Fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh
February
Fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh
February
Staying in, locking doors
Frost on the pane of the living room window
Catch up on reading Northern lore
Costs you nothing to bring gloomy sleet and snow

Aquarius

You're a mess
Aquarius
Bearing all the weight
Taking all the stress
You're a mess
Aquarius
Bearing all the weight
Taking all the stress
You didn't hunt
A twelve month stunt
Caring for the State
Putting on a front
What's the cypher
What's your sign
Tell me yours
I'll tell you mine
You live in the sky
The brightest knives
Drawn and sharpened for
The perfect crime
Caught a glimpse into
The frigid life of you
Things you put me through
Things you shouldn't do
You're a mess
Aquarius
Bearing all the weight
Taking all the stress
You're a mess
Aquarius
Bearing all the weight
Taking all the stress
Celebrate a loss
Treat a love like a boss
Not for the ice or frost
There's no greater cost
Making good impressions
Quick to add a blessing
You went on a mission
And learned no lesson
You're a mess
Aquarius
Bearing all the weight
Taking all the stress
You're a mess
Aquarius
Bearing all the weight
Taking all the stress

Pisces

Fish out of water
You A-type personality
It's getting hotter
And you won on a technicality
Chicken Little
The end is always nigh
Pisces in the middle
Of fire and sky
Yo fuck you guysez
Get up on the risers
Yo fuck you guysez
Get up on the risers
Yo fuck you guysez
Get up on the risers
Everybody hates a fish in disguises
Swimming through the current
On the nights that I'm gone
Well you wouldn't worry
If you ever got it wrong
No second guessing
Nevertheless a pause
You're always messing
Just because, just because
Yo fuck you guysez
Get up on the risers
Yo fuck you guysez
Get up on the risers
Yo fuck you guysez
Get up on the risers
Everybody hates a fish in disguises
Fish out of water
That's what you were taught
That's what you taught her
Fish out of water
That's what you were taught
That's what you taught her
Fish out of water
That's what you were taught
That's what you taught her
Fish out of water

Valentine's Social Club
04:00
|

Romance is dead
Sit alone in yr head
Clouds of gloom mixing
With Cupid's cute fixing
Read a lurid tale
About a flirt that failed
You need a rescue
From the neverending mess you
Made
Met yr perfect match and then
The neverending love came to end
Now you know the real truth
Perfection is the lover's ruse
Valentine's Social Club
Made a pact to find love
In a loveless time
By the time you were 29
Malcontents anonymous
The lovepocalypse is upon us
Oh
Like pulling teeth to care
Kiss in the closet on a dare
Met yr perfect match and then
The neverending love came to end
Now you know the real truth
Perfection is the lover's ruse
Romance is dead
Quite a show, you said
For all the work you profit
You still earned nothing of it

Amethyst

Stone heart in the ground
Rough and uncut
Pulsing all around
Questions in my gut
Hidden lies, hidden gems
Not quite ready to shine
Just taking all the chems
And towing the line
Fuck
Amethyst
Why fight it, why resist
Amethyst
Why fight what you always missed
Polished exterior like a mask
Surface colour resonates
You already know if you have to ask
Why all the hate?
Put your brave face on
To see what became
You already know the con
You wrote the rules of the game
Amethyst
Why fight it, why resist
Amethyst
Why fight what you always missed
Stone heart in the ground
Rough and uncut
Pulsing all around
Questions in my gut

Winterlude
04:12
|
|||
It's always too cold
Or maybe too wet
Too slushy to mould
The ice into art
Festivities abound
But you'd not be blamed
For skipping this round
Every year is the same
Forty below min wage
Crystallized dreams
Winterlude Bal de Neige
Never as good as it seems
Fried dough in a shack
Overpriced fare
For the warmth that you lack
When I'm not really there
Skates on thin ice
Blades of regret
Absolution from vice
But not quite yet
Not quite yet
Winter wouldn't be the same
Without you
Winter wouldn't be the same
Without you
Wonderland of snow and rain
What could you do?
Forty below min wage
Crystallized dreams
Winterlude Bal de Neige
Never as good as it seems
Winter wouldn't be the same
Without you
Winter wouldn't be the same
Without you
Wonderland of snow and rain
What could you do?
Winter wouldn't be the same
Without you
Winter wouldn't be the same
Without you
Wonderland of snow and rain
What could you do?

An Extra Day
03:24
|

An extra day won't solve
All my worldly sins
Or strengthen my resolve
To put the effort in
I woke up this morning
I had an extra day
I took a mini vacation
But didn't go away
I took time making decisions
I pretended I wasn't sure
Pondering all the extra seconds
We would all endure
An extra day won't solve
All my worldly sins
Or strengthen my resolve
To put the effort in
Clumsy cold calculations
With a hint of by my side
Crazy cool celebrations
The hunt is world wide
Poor, poor pitiful me
Time is not on my side
The expiration date is arbitrary
The disease is world wide
An extra day won't solve
All my worldly sins
Or strengthen my resolve
To put the effort in
I got up this morning
It took all my will
The constant vigil
To get to that quiet still
I take time planning days
For when I can't no more
It's the smartest way
To not think about the sore
An extra day won't solve
All my worldly sins
Or strengthen my resolve
To put the effort in
An extra day
I had an extra day
It withered away

The glue that held this cheap, flimsy beast together
Soon will be dissolved
And we will start to feel better
Another year in the cycle
Sixty years
Twelve more to go
The rich tapestry of a life you never knew
A colourful taste
Of everything that wasn't you
Another day in bag
Sexy flirt
Sixty more to go
A karmic revolution in technological chance
A green and honest calm
But you hated to dance
The rich tapestry of a life you never knew
A colourful taste
Of everything that wasn't you
Another four thousand
Seven hundred and 21 years
Infinity more to go
Wood Dragon
Green Wood Dragon
Green Wood Dragon
The rich tapestry of a life you never knew
A colourful taste
Of everything that wasn't you
Green Dragon
The rich tapestry of a life you never knew
A colourful taste
Of everything that wasn't you
