lyrics

We are cascading tidal waves
You hold the wheel and I feel safe
Our raft of twigs shrinks amidst the waves
But you are strong, and I feel safe.

You are me; I am you; So is he; So is she; You are me; I am you.

Enter disconnected man, filled with fear.
He lights his match, with folded ears, and
blindly he throws his match in bane;
our eyes reflect scorching flames.

We ask him:
"Why do you burn?
Why do you burn? Why do you burn? Why do you burn those bridges d-down down?"
Down down down down...

We manouever icebergs amidst the waves
Ducking low to avoid the flames
Together we ride the Northern Sea
Behind us he stands; alone is he.

He stares from behind his mask of lies - but it's not more beautiful.
He closes his eyes as the waves rush in.
They wash his pain away. They wash his pain away.
But on his face - swirling lines of mud remain.

Why do you burn?
Why do you burn those bridges d-down down?
Down down down down...

Tidal waves crumble shields of lies
Though his consciousness denies
that when the burning stops and the anger fades
Ashes will remain.

and we'll sail
Down down down down down...

Hanna Bech Hamilton, Ontario

My favourite artists take their shoes off on stage ­ and I strive for the same grounded authenticity. I like to weave stories and hooks, and play with expectations (yours and mine)! I think my music sounds like a film score and indie pop going on a first date. But you tell me. ... more
