I could swallow all my pride Surrender all my bitterness I could always compromise I could carry all the debt Is it ever really going to stop Is it ever really going to change Is it ever going to be okay I knew it from the very start Something I could not forget That you could always break my heart I knew it from the day we met Is it ever really going to stop Is it ever really going to change Does it ever really go away

La Passe 03:04
I wish that I could put you on a plane so I could see you I wish that I could put the fire out inside my brain Cause all I do is miss you A grindcore show in downtown Montreal Anarchist books & crusties line the walls Garçons et filles in the pit Scream about French Canadian politics & I don't understand a word at all Second sunrise spent in Montreal A piano at the top of mont Royal The city wakes in starts & fits A future we can't predict & I can barely see it through the fog When you look into the California night Do you see a spectrum full of stars Does it feel like heaven & all of its heavenly delights where you are Or does it feel like a shadow that follows but never changes form I turn my face to the sun & it's almost like your warmth

There's evil that you know A heaven that you don't How far you gonna fall when it's out of your control Are you caught up in a storm Does it toss you like some tiny stone Every time you're lost you face the dark alone People that you know with intentions that are good Break your heart with words like "It all happens as it should" She said "Dreaming is easy, the hard part's jumping in" I said the hard part is surviving with no way to make amends My life went up in flames on a bridge around me It flashed before my eyes & left me wanting Beauty fades, desire changes Youth decays & friends become strangers When I dream of you it's over way too soon It fades faster than it should When I dream of you it feels bigger than the moon It aches longer than it should When I dream of you it's never quite as good as when I'm with you

A wild pack of dogs keeping me at bay Always keeping you an arm's length away I'm pounding on the walls, I'm pulling on the chain That tightens on my dreams & choking me awake I'm sleeping in the car, a drop in mercury The California in my heart can't be measured in degrees I'm opening the doors, I'm letting in the strays I'm heading down the coast & laughing all the way Some of them move on, some are still afraid Spring is almost gone & summer's on the way Some of them are found when they've been led astray Some of them are doomed to make the same mistakes Don't make the same mistakes

Sand Fires 02:48
The color in your hair is fading like the moon Strands of prussian blue Climbing castles & Mt. Vesuvius Take me away before I stay too long While I'm still holding on Before I know what's gone Am I the one who's supposed to be responsible For being the stubborn obstacle The joke at the end of a popsicle Take me away before I stay too long Before I know what's wrong Before the clouds return The valley's on fire tonight It's burning like your smile How can I make things right When I'm always telling you goodbye
