Off of our self-titled 'EP' available on Band Camp, iTunes and, Amazon, oh my!

There's this girl that I know who puts braids in her hair 
Her heart's in the south when there's frost in the air 
She don't know if she's staying, she's destined to leave 
But she likes my playing so I want to believe 

She puts on his records and closes her eyes 
Her hands move in motion to the sounds of his cries 
And she knows he is broken but she'd still have his ring 
Cause she'd pick up his pieces as long as he sings 
She'd pick up his pieces as long as he sings 

Oh why, oh why do I trust this heart of mine? 
It's been fooled in the past and I don't think it's different this time 
Oh why, oh why, do I want to believe? 
My hands are too spoken and my love is naive 

The wine is much sweeter than the bread that is served 
And she is much kinder than the man she deserves 
Cause she knows all the songs her mom used to play 
Hoping to sing to her weakness one day 

Oh why, oh why do I trust this heart of mine? 
It's been fooled before and I don't think it's different this time 
Oh why, oh why, do I want to believe? 
My hands are too spoken and my love is naive 

Men only suffer when they think alone 
A blackbird in a cage would like nice on his thrown 
But there are men who best me who know birds are to fly 
And he is the dirt, where I am the sky 
He is the dirt, where I am the sky

Blackbird In A Cage

A lifetime ago 
The lightning and snow
stopped me dead in my tracks
and there was no looking back.

The moonlight burned out
and Halifax faded way back
the street spun and lit up 
and crushed me in its path.

And a piece of the sky 
Fell in two
My chest opened up 
Onto you. 

Now there's nowhere left to run, 
As the fog spills into our lungs.

They're gonna write your name 
write your name in the sky
so lift those weary eyes 
and let those corners cry. 

But my body's in pain
and my fire it won't light
but there's a bridge reachin' out 
through the hardest of rain. 

And a piece of the sky 
Fell in two
My chest opened up 
Onto you. 

Now there's nowhere left to run
As the fog spills into your lungs.

We'll go under and find treasure 
coated in the darkest cover 
They might never find us 
so we'll bring some extra flares and blankets.

We'll go under we'll go under 
we'll go under we'll go under...

________________________________________________

I'm just gonna go out and say it: you're so cold to me.
We speak different languages and live on different seas
and I know it means nothing to you if I just let you be
anytime.

I start feeling so alone, been away for days
but it's known that you get so stoned, you're living in a cage
and if I ever see you sober, I'd be so amazed.

Don't throw your stones at illusionary things
'cause you're never gonna really know what the future brings.
I don't need your advice, I don't need your advice,
I don't need you anyway: you and your broken wings.

I'm just gonna go out and say it: we don't get along
and no matter how you try and play it I've done nothing wrong.
And whenever I see you now, wherever I see you now
this song plays over and over again in my head.

Don't throw your stones at illusionary things
'cause you're never gonna really know what the future brings.
I don't need your advice, I don't need your advice,
I don't need you anyway: you and your broken wings.

I'm just gonna go out and say it: you're so cold to me.
We speak different languages and live on different seas
and I just feel so stupid every time I think about it.

Different Seas

Little Lamb

Lyrics: 
I thought I heard you talk to me last night
Maybe it was all in my mind.
I painted no warning, no promises signed,
Led towards you from the greatest of heights.

The Sandman, he tried to beg me wake
I had a date with the devil
My biggest mistake.
If mercy so hollow is all that I have
No man could carry me,
I’m stuck to this bed.

All I want is nothing more
Than what you gave or what you sold,
Blame me for a love so cold. 
All I need is what there is
And all there is, is what we missed,
Blame me for a love so cold
Blame you for a love so cold.

Spoke to a stillness colored by night,
Gave it a talking to, to rid my pride
If there’s nothing to say for,
Nothing to show,
I swear to be better, I swear to let go.

The Sandman, he tried to salvage my blame
I could not forget it, my love could not save
And if mercy so hollow is all that I have
Please momma carry me, I’m over my head.

All I want is nothing that more
Than what you gave or what you sold
Blame me for a love so cold.
All I need is what there is 
And all there is, is what we missed.
Blame me for a love so cold,
Blame you for a love so old.

Don't you know how much I love you, darling?
Don't you know how much I care?
I did not mean to bother you lover
But know I still want you here.
Don't you know how much I love you, darling?
Don't you know how much I care?
I did not mean to bother you, lover
But know I still want you here

All I want is nothing more
Than what you gave or what you sold,
Blame me for a love so cold
All I want is nothing more
Than what you gave or what you sold
Blame me for a love so cold,
All I need is what there is
And all there is, is what we missed
Blame me for a love so cold
Blame you for a love so old.

Millie & Ivor

Lyrics:
Several miles away from where you are supposed to be,
Focusing on the things you love rather than what they say you need,
You let your guard down and you lost track of…

All that time you spent listening to everybody’s shit.
The situation's getting worse by the minute, don’t you think?
But you found it and it’s yours, never let it go. 

I don’t know where you think you are but you are not there now.
Forever staring into the abyss of my home town.
Can you hear sirens? They’re never ending…
Screams from girls who think it’s ok to break the night tonight.
Boys are chasing skirts as long as they feel the price is right.

This city’s a vampire and it’s craving my blood.

Chasing bright lights and cameras.
Flashing for pay rises.
From the high rise you can see they’re…

No one will give you it,
You’ve got to take what you want.

I’ve been crawling ‘round in circles.
