Lyrics:
The devil waits in the still clouds
Please don’t go in there
Please don’t go in there
Dry brush cracking in the eastern field
He’s holding a number, searching for shelter

One day on the cover of a magazine
Falling birds without their wings
It’s 1944 all over again
Silvery metal sends red rivers running

Peter, save us
Open your heavenly gates for us
We plead on bended knee

Peace at your door
Comes at a price too high for you to ignore
Pay all your dues
Fight for a life with rights
What do you got to lose?

The clerics raise their army for the trinity
Pledge your allegiance and your slavery
You’re fighting for a God as if you know what it means
Real indignation but part of a team
What a team

Peter, save us
Openly your heavenly gates for us
We plead on bended knee

Peace at your door
Comes at a price too high for you to ignore
Pay all your dues
Fight for a life with rights
What do you got to lose?

Even though the little ones will never get it
Even though the little ones will never get it
I run, I run directly to the sun
I run, I run directly to the sun

I run, I run, I run

Lyrics:
Go forth with the insurgency
Privacy is out of date
There are no mysteries

You’re everything to me
You’re everything to me
You’re everything to me

Age/Sex/Race
Things that separate
Gods that divide and conquer weakened minds
Anyway to get inside
An invitation to the lie

An isolated incident goes down in history
Watching time convince itself and then just press repeat

You’re everything to me
You’re everything to me
You’re everything to me

Face these lies
Face these words

Age/Sex/Race
Things that separate
Gods that divide and conquer weakened minds
Anyway to get inside
An invitation to the lie
An invitation to the lie

Age/Sex/Race

Lyrics:
I’m not the kind of guy to give it up
A history of reasons won’t make me stop
Or the colour of your skin
Or the colour of my eyes when you’re looking at him
I would do it again, I’d do it again, I’d do it again
When it’s you and I
I’m unpacking and you’re leaving on another red-eye
Goodbye

Time never seems to wait
In line when everything’s at stake
But I won’t have the final say
They’ll be rollin’ in their graves 
Watchin’ your mistakes from the wake

I’m not the kind of guy to put up a front
But touch what isn’t yours and I’ll fuck you up
You’re a sinner or saint
And nothing in between will cover the stains
I would do it again, I’d do it again, I’d do it again
When it’s fight or die
But you’re dying as you’re fighting cause you’re just a fist shy
I would do it again, I’d do it again, I’d do it again
When it’s you and I
I’m unpacking and you’re leaving on another red-eye
Goodbye

Time never seems to wait
In line when everything’s at stake
But I won’t have the final say
They’ll be rollin’ in their graves
Watchin’ your mistakes from the wake

I was a foster child in Southern England
I was a merchant in India 
Powerful, impatient
I was a little girl in dresses 
Innocent, deceptive
It won’t leave me be

Oh, you can run 
You can run
You can run
 
(They’ll be rollin’ in their graves 
Watchin’ your mistakes)

Lyrics:
Play it cool to the end
Save face for your friends
Mind tires as body bends
What is now was not then

When we came down
We knew the price
Oh, and suddenly 
We swung our swords
Among the blind
Oh, and suddenly
Oh, and suddenly a feelin’
Memories of somethin’ fleetin’
Oh, and suddenly you’re feelin’

Serendipitous maybe
It’s coming together lately
Those constructs of conscience 
Those building blocks of ignorance

When we came down
We knew the price
Oh, and suddenly 
We swung our swords
Among the blind
Oh, and suddenly
Oh, and suddenly a feelin’
Memories of somethin’ fleetin’
Oh, and suddenly you’re feelin’

(Save face)
Your conscience is criminal
(Oh, and suddenly)
Your conscience is criminal
(Oh, and suddenly)

When we came down
We knew the price
Oh, and suddenly 
We swung our swords
Among the blind
Oh, and suddenly
Oh, and suddenly a feelin’
Memories of somethin’ fleetin’
Oh, and suddenly you’re feelin’

Lyrics:
I took my first step in British Columbia
And though you come from a different place
You see the good in all of us
And though I remember so little
I remember I was just a little ball of trust
And every time that I go back
I see the faces I miss so much

Well I made my bed
And I laid in it with you
Placed all my bets
Have no regrets with you
Over land and sea
Baby, come with me

Met my first love in British Columbia
And though I had my head up in the clouds
You never put up much a fuss
And though I fell so hard for you
I promised myself I’d know enough was enough
Yeah, every time I look at you I see the face
The faces I miss so much

Well I made my bed
And I laid in it with you
Placed all my bets
Have no regrets with you
Over land and sea
Baby, come with me
Well I made my bed
Well I made my bed
With you

Distance
Longer
Heart grows
Fonder

Well I made my bed
And I laid in it with you
Placed all my bets
Have no regrets with you
Over land and sea
Baby, come with me
Well I made my bed
Well I made my bed
Placed all my bets
Placed all my bets with you
Over land and sea 
Baby, come with me

Lyrics:
You took me by the sleeve of my weary shoulder
Took the wheel in hand and started to pull over
Watchin’ as I started to awake 
I was with you

It struck me that the last time I felt like this
Was never ‘cause I never felt a love like this
With all the fucking love songs that I have missed
I’ve missed you

I am making my case
Ruling out mistakes
I am making mistakes 
All over 

You’re fallin’
(I called it right from the start)
But I’m holdin’ out
(Until the timing is right)

All my greatest expectations have led me to this
You struck me with your words and sealed it with a kiss
I have never known abuse to cause such bliss
Until I met you
Until I met you

I am making my case
Ruling out mistakes
I am making mistakes 
All over 

You’re fallin’
(I called it right from the start)
But I’m holdin’ out
(Until the timing is right)
You’re driftin’
(Through the darkest of waters)
And I’m reachin’ out
You’re wearing thin
And I’m walking out
You’re fading
We’ve fallin’ out

Lyrics:
I’m no preacher in a church
Have no lines in which to rehearse
But I know if nothing is said
We’re better off dead

Did it?
Did it pass me by?
Am I invisible to the naked eye?

Stop you starry-eyed gazer
The problems you face are only here to stay
Stop your starry-eyed gazing
Let your eyes wander over me

You’re living your life by the flip of a card
Watching you watch me as I fall apart
The fortunes of fools are never that clear
Have we lost those years?

Did it?
Did it pass me by?
Am I invisible to the naked eye?

Stop you starry-eyed gazer
The problems you face are only here to stay
Stop your starry-eyed gazing
Let your eyes wander over me
Oh, wander over me
Oh, wander over me

Stop you starry-eyed gazer
Stop you starry-eyed gazer
Stop you starry-eyed gazer
Let your eyes wander over me
Wander over me
Wander over me

Lyrics:
We could change
We could change our names
Pretend to be the masters of our days
Our fire burns bright
Our fire burns high
Our fire burns bright
Our fire burns high

Your ease of mind
Or a pocket full of gold?
The test of time
Or a life you didn’t know well?

We could pave
We could pave the way
Forget the roads
That led us all astray
Our fire burns bright
Our fire burns high
Our fire burns bright
Our fire burns high

Your ease of mind
Or a pocket full of gold?
The test of time
Or a life you didn’t know well?

Don’t let them fool you
Don’t let them fool

Your ease of mind
Or a pocket full of gold?
The test of time
Or a life you didn’t know well?
Rain or shine
With a little bit of wisdom
Designer lives
We’re manifesting kingdoms

Lyrics:
Lips tight like the ropes that keep you strapped in
Head high, careful not to let my words in
Austerity has made you choke it back again
But in you, a breathing girl is winning

You escaped the reed
Now the ghost in you is the only one who bleeds

Nothing comes close
No nothing even touches you
Nothing on land nor sea
No nothing can make this blind mind see
I was just wondering
Where ya’ gonna be?

Back then we were fine with all we didn’t know
A lottery only dealt us even greater blows
The awe struck eyes of children waiting for the final cue
Like divvied bread, ignore the weak and feed the privileged few

But you escaped the reed
Now the ghost in you is the only one that bleeds

Nothing comes close
No nothing even touches you
Nothing on land nor sea
No nothing can make this blind mind see
I was just wondering
Where ya’ gonna be?

Lyrics:
You carry the weight of the world with you
But you don’t fall down
I wish I was as strong as you
Or am I wrong?
‘Cause feeling these things that I do
Give me something to go on

But I got a feelin’ that you’re hiding something new
Ya, words they don’t mean the same when they’re coming from you

You won’t lose
You won’t lose
You won’t lose if you love someone

Are you leaving because you want to leave?
Or ‘cause someone went to far?
My experience with these kinds of things
Just ain’t up to par
Ya, you’re the same as you’ll ever be 
Just a dot on the radar

But I got a feelin’ that you’re hiding something new
Ya, words they don’t mean the same when they’re coming from you

You won’t lose
You won’t lose
You won’t lose if you love someone

I am open to your reasons
Don’t tell me you’re leavin’
It’s more than I can take
I’m barely even awake
Awake

You won’t lose if you love someone

Lyrics:
You and me, seventeen
Trapped by fear and self esteem
Let’s live to be one hundred and three
So we can watch the revolutionaries

One side glance is all I need
You could shatter the thousands of sadness in me
Remnants of our ancient past no scientist could clone
This picture is our time machine
A thousand words unknown

Say you love me, you love me
It ain’t worth it to hate me
You could take that energy
And turn yourself from stone

And all this time I thought I knew exactly what to say
That thieving girl came to my door and stole my words away
She stole my words away
She stole them away

Say you love me, you love me
It ain’t worth it to hate me
You could take that energy
And turn yourself from stone

Halfway There

You could call it folk. Or rock. Or ambience. If you wanted to deny that parts make a whole. It’s realer than that. It is love. Yes, love! That messy gooey thing that we so desperately hope will make us whole. We can all agree on this, can we not? Nate Daniel’s fragile cadence, the tangled network of twisting cables and blinking lights at Dante Berardi’s feet coalescing into reverb-soaked guitar, hemmed in by the sweetness dragged from Caitlin Grieve’s violin while Matt Sullivan moves behind the drum kit like an academic earmarking pages in the ever-evolving narrative of CAIRO’s stories. It’s absurd that four people get along so well. Unsettling, even. But they do. They're CAIRO.
