FALLING PIANOS (free) 03:41
i am ashamed that i've broken your heart but i cant explain i dont know where to start or why it had to end as bad as it did running out on you alone with the kids in the night ... falling pianos from skyscraper heights knocked me senseless like burnt out lights now my nerves are are shot ... weeks have gone months have passed somedays i wonder if the kids have asked where i've been would you even take me back if i tried if i bought flowers and apologized again and over again and over again ...

the tree i imagined in the song the girl i loved in the verse the love i lost and i imagined how it felt and how i hurt and now it hurts but this was when, my mind would drift ... barely eight lines and a chorus now i takes alot more for me to take notice but this was when, my mind would drift ... i was almost not there at all

PENCIL MARKS (free) 04:09
my wife says please dont write depressing songs tonight write about how i am beautiful and how you are mine but there's not much time before she says that mom and me dont need to carry her up the stairs or tuck her in because she's old enough you are my sunshine is little kids stuff ... babe when both of the kids leave the home and then its just me and you what are we gonna do ... my wife says please dont write depressing songs tonight write about how i am beautiful and how you are mine but there's not much time before he doesnt fit in the seat thats behind my bicycle and we wont be able to go on rides around the crescents and the creek anymore ... these days they're growing so tall i have to look at the pencil marks on the wall to remind me how much smaller they were dont know where all the time went it scares me to think someday they wont be kids though to me always my boy and my girl ...

now all i'm trying to do is stop the bleed but everything is dying around me and always i'm not doing what i need to do at least you say now would you trade a son for days off or would you trade a daughter for a cough because you cant smoke or drink or stay out late while you behave ... the times that i had with you that i'll never had again when we go old you lost me and you lost all of your friends ... before you find out that the rumors they are true before you find that they are about me and you i'll tell you what i did but more importantly i will tell you what i did not do ... the times that i had with you that i'll never had again when we go old you lost me and you lost all of your friends as you lay down and close your eyes girl tuck in and go to sleep and dream about all the promises that you could never keep, never keep ...

SIDELINES (free) 02:27
am i just grasping at straws when i say you all are wrong i'm sitting on the sidelines waiting for someone to join along ... prefer instead of constant to be a bore i am indentifying with the crazies more and more i'm asking if you've got a passion thats damaging your health ... is there anything that i can do that'll break you from you gaze our days are numbered still no matter our age ...
9.
THE MOMENT (free) 03:51
you could not look in my eyes waiting like you did as hours they passed by at home with the kids ... now here's the moment when i weigh the trouble i'm in and decide whether to fight the fire i lit or let it burn out slow or tell you that i'm so sorry that i did the things i did ... out of our home and onto the street in the middle of the night is where you sent me ... the stars came out, the moon it was bright the noise of the street, broke the silence of our night ...
10.
UNTIL YOUR GOOD (free) 04:02
like an unwanted child your parents left you wild they said it isnt their fault thats bullshit you have a constant urge to relapse and return to carnal instincts you often fall back to ... but i will wait like i should for you babe until your good i will wait, for you ... with heavy curtains drawn you sleep through every dawn and wake up out of sorts for an hour or more i remind myself how quickly things turn around its a waiting game that our love plays ... i'm getting used to what this love is but every now and then hell breaks loose again ...
11.
i cook for you cause baby i think that your lovely i'd read a book beside you in bed cause you love me your like the song that i could play on repeat with an unforgetable memory lord knows how i need you without you there is no harmony ... i try and clean cause baby i know that your busy so after work you can spend all of your free time with me i know that we both got busy days when we were younger we would waste them away but now our time is precious there's no rest for the wicked you'd say ... i'll court you still just as i did when i met you dancing at the local bar that we went to back when you were just twenty one we would cut a rug just having some fun looking back now i can remember knowing you were the one ...

about

the Lambta Da's regina, Saskatchewan

The music's expression is paradoxically less solar and extraverted than the character of the seasons would lead us to believe. More than strength or richness there is an intensity, a sensation replete with freshness and firmness, which is remarkable.
