"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

When You Walk A Long Distance You Are Tired

It Hurts Until It Doesn't

Meet me in the backseat 
Tell me that you love me 
Please just be so caring to know that i'm here 

Know your limitations 
Before things start to fade and 
Never Let me know or please just be kind 

Tell me when you're angry 
Rock you just so gently 
I just need to know, know that you are mine 

Boarder line neurotic 
Seamless and psychotic 
I get so exhausted from hums and some rings 

All my sensitivity 
Never let it get to me 
Grabs me like a cavity 
Brings me to a Tragedy 
Show me hospitality 
Sorry for the fantasy 
I just want to know you for a long long time 

(Guitar Solo) 

Treat me like a brother 
Climb under the covers 
You always think and wonder if you love him 

He treats you with perfection 
I guess it's more complex than 
Things that make my head spin ALL OF THE TIME 

It's all that sensitivity 
Always seems to get to me 
Throws me up like gravity 
All built up inside of me 
It takes me to a fantasy 
Works just like a factory 
And creates things that I shouldn't do 

Bridge: 
And when I get you alone 
Were out on the Town 
But lately I feel you don't want me around 
Pr-pr-pr-prancing around, around the sycamore tree 
I need somebody to help me 
to set me free 
oh oh (oh oh oh oh oh oh)

Hazing - What Youth

This is one of our favorite songs, except Jacob he doesn't like it that much but that's ok because he made the main riff.

CAKE

Pretty picture
Was it a gift or was it bought by your mother?
A lovely conversation starter
Here’s the kicker
I’m only here until about late November
Another day just to remember

Heard it coming
The tick on the clock but it stops for a minute
And I don’t know what’s gonna happen
More pretending
Why tell the truth when we can lie for a minute?
And I don’t know what’s gonna happen

Moving quicker
You spilt your drink and let it bleed through the fabric
You’re drunk but what a stupid habit
Feeling sicker  
We cut the cake, why don’t we eat? Tastes metallic
Let’s see who’s the first to grab it
