cry every color 02:52

Crying every color Lying in bed all day And awake all night You speak in riddles I'm laughing black and white I cry every color I sob every sound Cause I lost every love And belief that I found When this hug is over You're going your way Now you can thrive And I fade to grey When you're out of sight I daydream and drink With the queens of sorrow And rye-blooded kings

no defibrillator tattoo 02:16

No-Defibrillator Tattoo The hum of the needle In the cinnamon air Tribals on the wall Braids in her hair Her tank-top is grey Recycled forever I'm watching her do My No-Defibrillator tattoo We decide not to talk Just get the job done It doesn't pay a lot Soon I am out and gone With a No-Defibrillator Pulsing on my chest Who can blame me, who? Me and my No-defibrillator tattoo In front of the mirror Behind the bathroom door I look at the sign That I solely got for Working less at the gym And having more time To think about you And my No-defibrillator tattoo

scream-bag 03:30

Scream-bag The walls are thin and closing in I need a scream-bag I'm never alone at work or at home I need a scream-bag I held too much back just out of false respect I need a scream-bag A loud voice in me seeks a way out of here I need a scream-bag The crowd in the streets keeping pushing me I need a scream-bag The rain's coming down and I began to drown I need a scream-bag My eye got a twitch and the matrix got a glitch I need a scream-bag The gym is not a valve can't blow my steam off I need a scream-bag You are always quiet how can you live like that Without a scream-bag I need a scream-bag Gimmy a scream-bag

before the angels come 03:44

Before the angels come You have to know that I live in that constant fear I can‘t tell you why and what I‘ve to go through This song is for you before the angels come and take you away All the nightmarish dreams, vivid schemes of how you could go But I should turn to stone the day I‘ll tell you until then I enjoy everyday we wake up together until then I enjoy every dream in between I know there is not much I can offer you I know there is just my heart... and:

about

I shot the cover photo on a -40 degree day. Every time I climb out of the car I thought, is this worth it, you know? I can't believe my camera didn't crap out on me. A defunct outside hockey rink. Sad. In Canada. I am not even playing or a huge fan of the sport, but this says so much.
