The Industry

Industry 05:58
Chaos, rescue me Confuse my enemy Neverending night Snapshot life, take flight. I see the seconds fall Through dirt stains on the wall We watch the video A thousand snapshots in a row. Still I go chasing the wind Waiting for my life to begin So long to these dark, old country roads, Chaos take me where no road ever goes! I went searching on the rushing winds, Sent me reeling, blew me back again, oh. Despite misgivings of the industry, All signs pointed back to me, oh. Back to my snapshot life. In large fields of green Men work with their hands. Building strange machines, To stop the flood that soaks the land. Children watch and wait To see the men come home. When water will abate, But not before it soaks the bone. Time stands still, stopping hearts until history rhymes again.

Inseams 04:36
Waltz away under a silver moon and I'm at ease Shook off the shake that put the chill in me, or I'd freeze Come on face, take your place Myriad ways for me to juxtapose, oh please Nonsense comes as the senses go so I'm free Sanity, come to me Come on the weekend, stand on my weak end Leave me writhing in a coma of the soul, Came on the weekend, stood on my weak end Something not invited and it stayed for days 'til today! Thoughts seem warped when they've been pent up, or so it seems Stay indoors to sow my heartstrings on my inseams Weaving onward through an endless gray Cutting off sound to cause a new kind of silent era Come on the weekend, stand on my weak end Leave me writhing in a coma of the soul, Came on the weekend, stood on my weak end Something not invited and it stayed for days 'til today! Shut my eyes, and I'll be gone for weeks My eyes are closed but you can't call this sleep My thoughts are darkened, hiding in the weeds, So never leave! Never leave!

The way she hesitates, rubs against my grain. Sequels to a lie, tell me what’s inside. Hardly still, mortified. The way they tell themselves, life’s a living hell. Chase me to and fro, becoming stereo. Hardly still, mortified. The way that you bat your eyes leaves me no room to sympathize. Or perhaps you thought I’d forget the what that it was you disguised. But before you implore me take time to explore, Being quick to your thumb, so easy for some. A short face to face at the same time and place, I need time to vex, hun, establish a connection. Can’t tell what’s transpired there’s water in the wires…

Screwdriver 05:31
You say that you know how to sell, Pretty good at it love, far as I can tell. But after the game is done, Does it feel as though you've won? When everyone else works nine to five, You stay up late to keep the kids alive. Funny thing about those kids - They're getting harder and harder to admit. You say: "Oh man, I've fallen behind again. Hold up, this is not pretend. Well I'm sick of playing these dirty games. It's about time that I put a face to the name!" Shame, shame, shame, you know it ain't a game. If you want to get out and give yourself a name, This probably isn't the route to go. Pretty soon you'll find yourself below... The waistline of a businessman. A quick zip up, he puts the cash in your hand. There goes number one, But the night has just begun! You say: "Oh man, I've fallen behind again. Hold up, I cannot see the end. Well I'm sick of playing these dirty games. It's about time that I put a face to the name!"

Killing Me 04:46
Yeah it’s obvious, you’re feeling two feet small. Better draw the line, before you lose it all. Can’t you see, it’s killing me. Don’t lose your head now, it’s a long march to the guillotine. Hear those death row drums, closer now than they’ve ever been, Can’t you tell, I wanna yell, but you’ve got to yell. And now you’re paralyzed. I see it in your eyes. You’ve wondered all your life. It’s time to ask him why. It’s time to ask him why. We’re falling behind, losing control. No place to hide, love takes its toll. What I throw in, you throw back out, Cycle again, and I want to shout… Yeah it’s obvious, you’re feeling two feet small. Better draw the line, before you lose it all. Can’t you see, it’s killing me. Can’t you see, it’s killing me…

about

Air Marshal Landing Toronto, Ontario

Three brothers, not paternal, but brothers nonetheless. Music that is instantly recognizable, yet different. A mix of midnight optimism and afternoon bitterness, where daydreams and reality meet for biscuits and tea. Love, lies, humour, uncertainty, and confession - a soundtrack to our lives. ... more
