"Musicially, “Ontario Gothic” begins where the previous song on the album, “Shadow’s Song” lets off. The the same melody - made from cutting up & copying and pasting singular guitar notes forms the melodic basis for the majority former. The instrumental elements of the middle / transition section make up the Foxes in Fiction song “Breathing In” found on the first Angeltown compilation.

Lyrically, “Ontario Gothic” is written about a close friend name Cait who died in 2010 and to whom the album is dedicated. Cait was one of the closest friends that I had for many years when I was a bit younger. She and I became really close after I had moved back to my hometown in the suburbs of Toronto, away from a farm in rural Ontario that my family lived on from 2001 until 2004. I was coming away from what was the worst and most emotionally tumultuous period of my life at that point and I carried a lot of fucked up anxiety and deep sadness about my life and myself as a person. But more than anything else, getting to know, open up to and spend time with Cait during those first years helped open me up to kinds of happiness and a love for life that I didn’t think was within the realm of possibility at that point in my life. 

She was one of the most remarkable, open and truly good people I’ve ever known, really. The song “Flashing Lights Have Ended Now” was also written about her just a point where we’re drifting apart; a year later she was gone. I wrote this song to crystallize the better parts of our friendship and to remember the healing effect that she had on me as a person which without I would not be the same person or have the same acceptance for life that I do now. I miss her enormously and I feel her influence and presence constantly. "

I was trapped under concrete
Built from the memory
Of all the daydreams
That I buried underneath

Now find me a way to divide
All of the noise on the other side
We’ll change where we live in the fall
Soon it will feel like nothing is wrong

And I could see who I should be
Though a past that casts it’s shadow down over me
In empty fields on summer nights
I feel the flashing lights

Teeth clenched in moonlight
A limitation, want to ignite
Reset my biology
The imitation, the apology

And I felt just like a child
I’m taking it all from the other side
Driving with you in your car
The home that I know seems so far

Spring, fall, I’ve lost it all (the morning fog)
Your empty street where we would meet
These parking lots bless us with peace
Your light has strayed, there’s no release

Foxes in Fiction - Ontario Gothic

Here's to growing up,
having no idea
Where I'm gonna go if we grow old,
Push it aside.
The night is young,
I'll never know why they act so grown up
When we run around like little kids, through the street,
Chase it away.

Future's scary, you're still near me
Forget to be afraid

It's wrong to think
we were born in a serious place
It's all a show
They'll find out just a moment too late
The world is asleep and that's all we need
Come on now and we'll go for a ride in the dark

We're so quiet;
it's not silent.
Nobody knows,
nobody knows
Everything is fine
Everything is fine

The World's Asleep

tell me things are gonna be ok
one more time
always feel like i’m going the wrong way

just cause you push it out of your head
doesn't mean it’s not there

tell me not to worry one more time

mom’s asking what i’m gonna do
my sister’s telling me i’m screwed
shouldn’t you be doing something too?
shouldn’t you be doing something?

sometimes i think i’m better in my head
anamorphic daydreaming instead
about 
living in a pretty place
darling not a pretty price to pay
baby get your act together
it's a cold cruel world out there!

mom’s asking what i’m gonna do
my sister’s telling me im screwed
shouldnt you be doing something too?
shouldnt you be doing something?
