Mountains 02:34
And I will die all alone On a forty-eight, I will escape This place I see, is not for me I want a home, I can call my own And I will die all alone I don't need much, no, I don't need much And I don't mind their prying eyes Burning holes right through my life This life I lead is fit for me I don't need much, I'll die happy I will die all alone I don't need much, no, I don't need much And I'll watch the time out, last life, outlast my eyes And live with the mountains Who have the strength to swallow you whole And I'll watch the sky outlast life, outlast my eyes And live with the dreams That have the strength to swallow us whole

Halifax 03:18
He set off with his lucky feet He set off with a heart plagued with holes He travelled, swam and ran Looking for some semblance of a plan His feet were sore from digging through all the mud He headed east, fell in love and ditched his luck No, he swore he didn't need it no more, he was home, he was Eastbound I'm going home That rabbit found a place to live in PEI Quiet acres on the sea, and in the sky He met a little bird, they built a house in the woods Together they grew until the seasons changed for good You'll never know, until you fly away, until you fly away, fly away for good You'll never know, until you fly away, until you fly away, fly away from home He swam across the Northumberland strait He was headed for Halifax, to find a hole to hide away And somewhere in that pit of his deepest despair A silver fox was standing there With a coat so sharp it cut through all the dark You'll never know, until you fly away, until you fly away, fly away for good You'll never know, until you fly away, until you fly away, well I'm Eastbound and home

Stripes 03:23
I'll leave it all behind this time, familiar faces turn and hide Don't say hello, I harbor everything that's terrible, you know That it's ripe within scene, as we paint our perfect portraits That depict the hypocrite that's underneath And I'll be your friend But only in secret, covert, can't get caught with your stripes in my den You're better off dead, the wolves are out and they'll claw you out Claw until you're dead Close your eyes dear, the nightmares can't get worse than this Patch my bones, with floss and wax and leather scraps from my hide I'm running low, I can't keep up this pace is draining me alive And I hoped that you would be there by my side But not only in a secret, covert, you can't get caught with your stripes in my den You're better off dead, the wolves are out, and they'll claw you out Claw until you're dead Close your eyes dear, the nightmares can't get worse than this

Leaving 05:51
And I can't run away, my four paws stain the ground The holes I dig to get away from them, to get away down wind My coat's weak, my lungs are thin, I can't keep pace ahead of the wind The foxes be joining me once the darkness sets in And I'm afraid of nothing, oh I'm afraid of nothing Let them feast, I'm already dead I'm afraid of nothing, oh I'm afraid of nothing Let them feast, I'm already dead Face down and dying, there's nothing left for me
5.
Let the tarps fall off the temporary homes that we have made In broken down bodies, watching hearts just pump the blood away From every vein I thought brought us closer to the truth Buried in the permafrost, we numb the pain, and fall in love And they keep on tell me I'm wrong for falling And they keep on telling me I've got to learn to move right on They keep on telling me I'm wrong for falling in love And they keep on telling me I've got to learn to move right on We'll build our bridges skyward, hope to hell the drywall holds All the drawings of forever seem to miss the studs and fall Into nothing but isolating pink and squishy stuff Made of tiny bits of shattered glass, well a broken windows not enough for me And they keep on telling me I'm wrong for falling, And they keep on telling me I've got to learn to move right on They keep on telling me I'm wrong for falling in love And I'll keep on telling them to eff right off
6.
Some people flow like water on the tiny hairs of an African Violet And when I have a child, she'll grow up slow playing in the dirt and not on pavement And if the day ever calls where I lose my bones, giving into a habit I'll bite my lip, and with a drip of red I'll paint your perfect portrait And it will be signed by my hand, scratched out by a man who envies time spent Self reflecting on all the self destruction, all the stupid stuff I do Just to try and understand my place is not ready made microwave safe Why I try and comprehend why I'm so fixed and bent on making the same mistakes Well slow as things may go I still need to know Because I don't know nothing no, and nothing don't know me either I'm just holding it's hand, in hopes I understand now understand I can't see through your eyes, but I can try But it won't make any difference, no, it makes no difference Because the day waists like paper air planes, in the morning Falling wet 'cause it's been raining, it's pouring And you always get what you decided to take And it's been taking me, taking me, taking me too long Well slow as things may go I still need to know
