eachfairday I love the thickness of the guitars, the vocal harmonies, and in general the new arrangements for songs you might already know -- not to mention the new song, Flickering, included as a bonus track on download. Listen to this thing, now. Favorite track: Glue (Acoustic Version).

I was born with an unhealthy brain And I thought I would come out of this Feeling sorry to have lived What was this mental plan for us That suddenly came on Did I forget just to trust In how much I need you now And given the person I am ‘Till I’m underground I was wrong Love isn’t designed to die What was this mental plan for us That suddenly came on Did I forget just to trust In how much I need you now And given the person I am ‘Till I’m underground “Do you really want this?” I know, what kind of a question is that I should have known better than to doubt you For every second you fought back Against the part of me that wanted tragedy But you stayed anyway What was this mental plan for us That suddenly came on Did I forget just to trust In how much I need you now And given the person I am ‘Till I’m underground

Be careful which door you choose Be careful which outlets you use She'll have you out on the sidewalk Between two apartments To fade to black and blue Think she'll be better off Spitting up hairballs and residue Instead of me and you? You'll be in heaven Between old lovers and the new But it won't be so hard to choose this time I swear The bed sheets yellow and red Your brain and your body Slowly turning to liquid But she's made oceans like this before So bring your boat for when you pull out From shore You'll be in heaven Between old lovers in the nude But it won't be so hard to choose this time I swear You'll remember the sidewalk And fading into the cracks like glue Hardened and spread Like the first day you met You'll be out on the curb Exchanging final words And it'll either be a try for friendship Or headboards on your wall While you're trying to sleep Headboards on your wall All night long When she's through and through with you She'll walk right over you When you're through and through with her And all you wanted to do Was anything but hurt her

I heard a rumour from a neighbour That you no longer take the fast way home You circle the block for an hour or two Before you get home Walk through the door Accidents happen And love don’t come by choice Sometimes you want it any other way but this way But then your leaves turn You know her like the back of your hand No you don’t You know nothing, man I’ll be alone like I always am Even in a crowded room Do you remember my charming duplicity Before you saw the patterns I breed? You know me like back of your hand No you don’t You know nothing, kid You know me like the back of your hand No you don’t You ain’t seen nothing yet Do you remember my charming duplicity Before you saw the patterns I breed?

Let me put it this way I don’t blame you For doubting it when I say that I’m okay ‘Cause mystery fades The attractiveness of my drinking went away Wanting to bleed on my own Is what I need It’s how I’ve grown up As a pluviophile Draining the pain while I pray you’re not putting any dependence on me Let me put it this way I don’t blame you For doubting it when I say that I’m okay ‘Cause mystery fades The attractiveness of my drinking went away Wanting to feed off my own history And how I’ve grown up As a pluviophile Draining the pain while I pray you’re not putting any dependence on me Let me put it this way I don’t blame you For doubting it when I say that I’m okay ‘Cause mystery fades The attractiveness of my drinking went away You said, “I love you” first At least you knew what you were looking for If you haven’t noticed by now I’m an oblivious boy

The day went black as hell Just as quickly as we fell And we didn’t say goodnight or goodbye Just scrambled to opposite sides Of the city that night And that’s how the story starts Just like any good one The day went black as hell I’m surprised that I could tell But it’s easy to see a dimming light In a pitch-black room with no end in sight And that’s how the story starts I can see that everything has changed Since day one Not as two, but as one I always knew your heart belonged to someone I just never wanted to consider the possibility That it wasn’t this one And that’s how the story starts

I’ve been trying to be numb ‘Cause my life is eternally living in the trunk Only feeling the bumps I’ve been trying to be numb ‘Cause everything that should make me happy just makes me ill Can’t find a way to deserve it still I’m clearly obsessed with my demise ‘Cause I’ll take every step to get there Intentionally or otherwise Another misdirected prayer this time Maybe I need help We’ve been saying it for years But come on over The river never runs dry here A centrifuge spun into light The consequences of an angry soul No more clarity with time I’m clearly obsessed with my demise ‘Cause I’ll take every step to get there Intentionally or otherwise Another misdirected prayer this time Maybe I need help We’ve been saying it for years But come on over The river never runs dry here

about

Recorded remotely from our respective bedrooms during the early months of COVID-19 lockdown. This EP consists of acoustic renditions of songs in our catalogue.

All proceeds made from this EP and current merch will be donated to Hope Blooms in Halifax. It's an organization dedicated to assisting youth and families in Halifax's North End; an area that continues to be deeply affected by gentrification. As a band that has performed frequently in the North End, it's time for us to give back.
