Track Name: Today's Going to be a Bad Day
Today's gonna be a bad day
Feeling like a garbage bag
Spilling its guts
All over the place
All over the place

Today's gonna be an awful day
It's dark at 4:30, it feels so late
Canadian winter
Canadian winter days

I can't believe she's on my side
And it just feels better than anything

That thing you do with your lips
Is keeping me awake at night
But I don't mind

I'm hopeless, I'm in lost place
Woke up at a quarter to six
Just to catch the bus
And see her face
Just to see her face

And I'm coming down again
And I need someone to help me outta this
I'm losing the slowest race
The slowest race
Track Name: Blackhanded Blues
Out in the sun and dressed in plaid
You're beautiful as ever when you're sad
I carry these folk songs on my back
The colour's on your hair and on the grass
The snow has come and the air cut flat
You're all I want
Honey, I'll wait for you
Honey, I can wait for you

Baby hold my hands, they're black with art
Hadn't seen you nearly a week apart
I break these feelings over my guitar
I'll save your words and put em in a jar
You don't know it but you break my heart
You watch me fall
Watch the snow white out the earth
Watch the snow white out the earth

I play these songs I write for you
Guitar on my hip making me bruise
I'm down and out and feeling blue
I'm out of sleep and out of booze
I'll play until I bleed from my fingertips
Until my voice is shot
Honey, I play for you
Honey, I play this for you

Under the trees and dressed in white
You're beautiful as ever when you sigh
I carry these love songs on my mind
The colour's on your cheek and in the sky
The snow is gone and the sun cut flat
I need you now
Honey, if you'll be with me
Honey, you can sing harmony
Track Name: Sake Sushi
i think about the sea
before i go
before i go to sleep

i dive into it's heart
and sink into bliss
i sink into bliss

how can i love you
when you're not there for me
darling, you're not there for me

why are you so far away?
when all i do
is try to keep you close, keep you close

i can't believe
how bad you've got me
you're killing me
goddammit you're killing me; oh

i think about the people
that i meet
the people that i meet

there's not that many
i like as much as you
that i like as much as you

how could i love you
when you weren't there for me
darling, you're weren't there for me

hardhearted, the feeling's departed
i can't wait to leave, cause
there's nothing here left for me


i can't believe
how bad you had me
you were killing me
goddammit you're still killing me; oh
Track Name: Snowfall
I can't sleep at night
cause sleep is the enemy

These thoughts run my mind
It gets the best of me

Snowfall glows pink
from the city lights

The skyline's on fire,
feels like morning all night


Can't remember what's
changed me from before

Brooding thoughts tend
to bite the mind to a sore

I had a dream that
made me dream no more
Heart aching shot
myself down by the shore

Heart aching shot
myself down by the shore
