Aim High

Love more
Love deep
Love the fight
For the peace
Find a piece of the place
That you trust
This city has you by the heart
Lève les yeux,
On est tous amis ici,
On veut tous voir les étoiles
Aim high
Brush the rust off
Take a leap
And build a staircase
To the sky
You can do it
If you work with the wind
Cut the cord, refuse to die
You can do it
You can do it
You can do it
You just gotta aim high
Like this
Like that
Like for like
For a change
Find that change in the streets
That you love
This city sings inside your blood
Nous brillons tous ici,
Nous voulons lever
Les yeux et voir nos amis
Aim high
Brush the rust off
Take a leap
And build a staircase
To the sky
You can do it
If you work with the wind
Cut the cord, refuse to die
You can do it
You can do it
You can do it
You just gotta aim high
What doesn’t bend breaks
What doesn’t bend breaks
What doesn’t bend breaks
What doesn’t bend breaks
We’re all gears in the same machine
Just trying to figure out what it all means
If we just sit here eating cake
We’ll never see the path that the boomerang takes
Aim high
Brush the rust off
Take a leap
And build a staircase
To the sky
You can do it
If you work with the wind
Cut the cord, refuse to die
You can do it
You can do it
You can do it
You just gotta aim high
Brush the rust off
Take a leap
And build a staircase
To the sky
You can do it
If you work with the wind
Cut the cord, refuse to die
You can do it
You can do it
You can do it
You just gotta aim high

Shape Shifter

The ink runs through my veins like blood
The positive and negative react
You come alive with the flood
I pull everything out of you
You pull everything out of me
I cut away and you break apart
I push through and you power up
You're a

Shape Shifter
Shining light on my shadow
Don't stop
sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh
Shape Shifter
Trace my edges with your fingers
Til I drop
The noise fills up my brain it glows
The black and white keys start to jumble up
I find your form
You are enclosed
I pull everything out of you
You pull everything out of me
Colours clash and I have my doubts
But I push the lever and your joy rings out
You're a

Shape Shifter
Bringing life to the stories in my dreams

Push my soul through the screen
Until I scream
The ink runs through your veins it glows
The positive and negative react
I find your form
You are enclosed
I pull everything out of you
You pull everything out of me
Colours mix and you break apart
I push through and your joy rings out
You're a

Gold
02:34

We sail away from
War and famine
To a land of riches
Where the sun shines bright
We dig a little deeper
In the depths of Eureka
Every man for himself
Searching day and night
And I think I’ve found
Gold, gold, gold, gold, gold, gold, gold
I think I’ve found
Gold, gold, gold, gold, gold, gold, gold
We plant the gardens
The soil is rich here
In a land where the leaders say
“Pretend you’re white”
We make the dumplings
Stop off at the chipper
There is no steamer here
So the siu mai are deep fried
And I think I’ve found
Gold, gold, gold, gold, gold, gold, gold
I think I’ve found
Gold, gold, gold, gold, gold, gold, gold
“Two dimmies with soy sauce please”
We thought we were ordering exotic Chinese
But the golden nuggets came from our own land
Feeding miners seeking fortunes
As they sifted and they panned
They sailed away from
War and famine
To a land of riches
Where the sun shines bright
I dug a little deeper
In the depths of the freezer
Found a Welcome Stranger
And a story to set right
And I think I’ve found
Gold, gold, gold, gold, gold, gold, gold
I think I’ve found
Gold, gold, gold, gold, gold, gold, gold

Mimeograph
03:00
|

Fill in the blanks so the sentences
Start to make sense
They tell a tale that’s
Already been told
Repeatedly
You are a ditto machine
A lilac ghost
Dissolving those dreams
Your scent hangs on the air
Bittersweet for years
Connect the dots maybe you’ll see
The bigger picture
Starting to emerge
The whole thing built upon
What happened earlier
I am a mimeograph
A darker shade
Moving through masks
Repeating my mistakes
Until the ink runs clear
Twin scenes drawn together
But they’re not the same
Try to find the words
Before it is too late
One day all that
Will be left are
Overlapping rounded shapes
We were a moment undone
Two phantom notes
Exposed to the sun
Our story softly fades
As each line disappears

READY PARTY - The Bends
02:28

All day
Every day
I’m getting dragged down
dragged down
Dragged down
All day
’Til you come around
come around
Then you lift me up
So fast it’s a little insane
So fast that it bubbles my brain
So fast that gas forms in my veins
You give me the bends
You give me the bends
You lift me so high
that I might actually die
Yeah, you give me the bends
You give me the bends
Yeah, you give me the bends
Don’t wanna complain
‘cause it’s such good pain
Yeah, you give me the bends
I sink down
Way down
To the darkness
darkness
Way down
I stay down
Where the sharks is
sharks *are*
Then you lift me up
So fast I’m startled from the start
So fast it fizzies up my heart
So fast my heart might burst apart
You give me the bends
You give me the bends
You lift me so high
That I might actually die
You give me the bends
You give me the bends
You give me the bends
Don’t wanna complain
‘cause it’s such good pain
Yeah, you give me the bends

Goodbye Baby
02:43
|
|||
this is not a love song
i’ve given that away
instead I'm trying to understand
the hurt behind the way I feel
it's so bad
sick of all the swan songs
they're leading me astray
my silver throat's a fucking joke
a voice with nothing left
you say
“goodbye”
sunlight
calling through the window
but we won't get up
because we've dropped any hope for repair
lost time
falling ever over
we're a hopeless cause
shut the open door
the rope's tied short
shorter than the fall
holding on to one long
minute that's replayed
as life unfolds before our eyes
collapsing like a crashing wave
baby
