cold embrace, endless love and a hairdo left out words, reasons why and the pain too that is a place we don't, we don't go ... a cracked whip, furrowed brow followed violence dead air, hums and haws broke the silence that is a place we don't, we don't go ... i know you're meant for someone but not for me as painful as that is for me to see ... why i'm here, asleep like a starfish where you are, when you don't want an accomplice that is a place we don't, we don't go we don't, we don't go ...

smoking on scarth your ankles are bare catcalls with a violent feel to the air look out for shawdows they're everywhere and footsteps well timed well i would be scared ... how was i to know where you would go i could have followed you through the path you left in the snow ... the benefit of doubt it seems could do more harm than you'd like to believe ... would you accept an innocent kiss do you see the danger in a question like this warm up be safe but do not deny the evil behind the charm in the wink of an eye ...

BABY BLUE 03:09
don't spill your milk or blow your nose my goodness how your hair grows i think a cut is in order soon i think a change is as well but you put your order in you're hungry i can tell prioritie in the morning plus cartoons you turned the storage into a jungle gym finding all the spots you can get stuck in curious afternoons because you're bored i'm trying but there's only so much i can do like reading books and such till everything we have you have explored i'll always be there for you always there and there's nothing i would'nt do for you, my little baby blue ... the floor is littered with the contents of your plate are you not hungry or just in a grumpy state or just trying to act out your eyes have been rubbed and i filled the tub washed your hair as you squirmed and shoved and cried as we tried to get your tangles out lately you won't sleep by yourself you need just a little help and lately it's hard to say no so i cuddle up in a comfy place and then you wrestle round and lay right on my face till we sleep then we repeat tomorrow i'll always be there for you always there and there's nothing i would'nt do for you, my little baby blue my little baby blue.

i'm detroit 1960's or so she says i am stay up all night then go to church effortless yet grand are you still my lover or do your eyes still seek the boys that hide in shadows am i asleep i will turn the lights off cancel visions sight so i can try and fool you to let me stay the night tucked in and curled beside you skeletons entwined with broken body problems you ease my mind i'm good at keeping secrets i broke a tooth today i'm good at keeping quiet i spit it down the drain i can feel the raw nerve ending as it rubs under my tongue i can feel my age descending the decline has begun has infactuation soured has lust just worn away am i just overthinking am i just scared to say i wish to have no other my eyes no longer seek either i'm in love or i'm asleep ...

HEY LOVE 03:10
i've been trying to get your contact blue and blinking eyes so you can see that i adore you is that a statement that you like i'll whisper it verbatim the phone book line for line i've been trying to get your contact and hoping you'd like mine hey love, only you understand ... someday i hope you get your airlock your wet sauna maybe too an avalanche of intrigue into your wednesday night revue i've been trying to think more even rationale and grown ass man and positively thinking as often and as best i can hey love, only you understand ... what i can do with my hands what can i do with my hands ... i'm not the best at making contact with your eyes at times i know but positively thinking i can into your avalanche of snow ...

as i slip into the clothes from the night i wore before in a bedroom where i've never been a womans voice from the bed morning hun is what she said but her face is one i've never seen how did i get here, what have i done can i chalk it up to just some drunken fun ... mumbling goodbye as i slipped out from her eyesight and tiptoed through the dark hallway on the wall there was a sight a picture that caught my eye the girl in her gown on her wedding day but the part that confused me and threw my head for a loop i was in the picture too dressed as the groom ... now what was i to do thoroughly confused and hung over a bit to boot was i thinking this out loud she was there as i turned round and said my darling whats the matter with you i stood there speechless words would not comply then in a burst and a flash my life passed by in my mind ... i collapsed on the floor for a minute less or more and remembered her panicked scream and the feeling of her hand on my arm she helped me stand deja vu or so it seemed how did i get here what have i done was i too drunk and fell asleep in the hallway hun ...

OH ME OH MY 07:08
anxious and anger and seldom an ear that'll lend itself to you yet still will comment about your private health i guess i've seldom been told what i should and should not do and faced with either choice is made being looked down to ... side eyes and glances never seemed or felt evil or made me nervous with danger looming large before i guess i've never questioned if my skin stood out or faced a person because of you changing their route ... living in fear my oh my oh me i love that country pie living in tears, loss and despair call me for dinner honey i will be right there ... desire for affection publicly or do you dare wonder if someone sees will someone care i guess i've seldom been made to question this before or faced with family seeing then not seeing you anymore ... dying to belong or dying to belong in a different sense to me doesn't make any or little sense i guess i've never been put in such a trepid place or faced with daily looks from eyes that make you feel displaced ...

bent out of shape half asleep and a pounding head late afternoon and i've still not left my bed replaying the things you have and have not said my life is a ruse and kinda weird in my head ... i cannot talk i barely make a sound sometimes i wonder why you stick around it seems you could have any boy or man in town my life is a ruse and kinda strange i've found .. no one belongs here more than me myself and i feel i used to be able to handle or cope with things more suitably ... late at night looking out in the dark feeling cold like i dont got no heart no value for you but did i at the start my life is a ruse and a subterfuge and dead at certain parts my life is a ruse and a subterfuge and dead at certain parts ...

made room for memory saved while i went did as i could and prayed and repent but the bridge is a stutter and the stutter repeats one thing leads to another till i admit my defeat ... i think you'll save me from this song ... the anger is building one day i'll break this fucking computer for st. peters sake ...

from coast to coast to coast from the wine you brought to the holy ghost i thanked the lord under candlelight on the hardwood floor where we spent the night ... you were evasive and shy and a bit bizarre when we met at the back of the bar then back to your place we both went i told you i loved you but you knew what i meant ... from your kitchen decor to the smell of your bed from the records you played to your library read the life you lived from the glimpses i've seen i told you i'm sorry (do you know) what i mean ... no love letters were sent no phone calls were made one of us left one of us stayed i thanked the lord under candlelight on the hardwood floor where we spent the night ...

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. This deep and confident presence that persists over time becomes the memory of the music, possibly for always. ... more
