Lost - Matt Simpson

A song from the upcoming EP 'In Conversation'

The Trail - Matt Simpson

"A song about the Hudson Bay Company" 

I don't care to live
But I don't wanna die
I don't wanna go where the old man goes

Just another cog
In a rich man's wheel
The only occupation is to beg and steal
For the things we need....

And the futures made
I’ve seen our fate
Living as the pawns of some foreign trade

I don't see a light
I don't see a fire 
I just see the shadows of an old empire

Nothing left to reap
No one left to sow
Actors in a play that a stranger wrote
We can't go home

And I don’t think I’ll make it here where the rules are made by those that pay
I remember when we lived our dreams but now that time has gone away

Actors (Live From Doco)

I get up cuz i cant get down 
When everything is on the inside out
I used to worry about the fire and flames
Now I fret for the soul

I dont want to go
I dont want to go
To the places where the music dies
And everything that makes you feel alive

I used to worry about a numb goodbye
Not about making a life worthwhile 
I was blinded by the colors and the shine
Now I dig for the coal

I dont want to go
I dont want to go
To the places where the music dies

Everything that they said was true. 
In the end I was just like you
Maybe I waited too long

Dying Of Comfort - Demo

Oh babe you're quite a sight
You keep it on all night
And I've been the morning time to you

You feel like a mystery
That no one wants to read
But I forced down a page or two

I was lookin' for the light
Just to shine me through 
In a time when I was so confused

Remember the thing you said 
When the light turned red
And we took on another truth

But everything Gets cold
When theres no fire at home
Everybody hacking'at the roots

I was lookin' for the light
Just to shine me through 
In a time when I was so confused
