| 1 | Armageddon | The sky was bright Some would say alight Cause armageddon don’t break for none I tried to drive all night Till I started to hallucinate About Cassandra and the curse of fate Then I heard you say “Oh hallelujah” We’re getting down to the… Keep me awake, oh for goodness sake The road signs pass by Another way to tell the time Hey hey hey Keep me awake, oh for goodness sake Road signs pass by Another way to tell the time Hey hey hey Well. The end is nigh So why don’t I Turn the music up and let it play I tried to make it right But the visions came through the smoke I tried to speak but instead I choked I heard you say “I don’t believe you” I was all I could do to run Keep me awake, oh for goodness sake The road signs pass by Another way to tell the time Hey hey hey Keep me awake, oh for goodness sake Road signs pass by Another way to tell the time Hey hey hey Gonna buy a new coat Tomorrow Gonna get my kicks today Gonna buy a new Watch Tomorrow Gonna stop telling time today Keep me awake, oh for goodness sake The road signs pass by Another way to tell the time Hey hey hey Keep me awake, oh for goodness sake Road signs pass by Another way to tell the time Hey hey hey | ||||

| 2 | Napoleon | It was a leap of a year I was the youngest son A bare-foot boy on the prairie run It was the call of the wild it was the love of the laugh The Elbow River and the Fish Creek Camp There's a river path I take as I ride on into town I follow it down to the livery There's space out here for a boy to be Bigger than his reveries Step lightly as you go, catch the Chinook wind out of the Calgary cold Step lightly as you go, Napoleon knows the long way home Margaret Armstrong is a hell of a gal We moved up North to Girouville Well the land is wild but she makes it sing My home, my heart, my everything It’s simple but it's ours This little skid shack It’s simple but it's ours for us to build Margie and me made a family You love em right, then you watch em grow And step lightly as you go Catch the Chinook wind out of the Calgary cold Step lightly as you go Napoleon knows the long way home Hey little girl come and sit with me Even mountains move after centuries No there ain't no bears, see they’re all asleep Be careful here, it's getting steep There's a thing you’re looking for and you’ll find it when you’re brave And when you do I hope you think of me Hey Little Girl oh it's been so sweet And step lightly as you go Catch the Chinook wind out of the Calgary cold Step lightly as you go Napoleon knows the long way home Step lightly as you go Napoleon knows the long way home | ||||

| 3 | The War | I know you’re sad and sick and sorry You wear it like a skin You’ve made a shell and put it forward To prevent us breaking in It’s closing like a vice All that love and sacrifice Time to pay the price And fight the war, fight the war Fight the war, oh fight the war I’ll be the bones, I’ll be the blood, I’ll be the muscle You make the move Where lies a heart that is beating If it’s beating, that's your truth Where the body breaks And the toil overtakes I’ll give you mine But its time To fight the war, fight the war, Fight the war, fight the war And hold on Darling find your fight! Let it be your gavity that pulls you to the light And hold on Darling find your fight! Let it be your gravity that pulls you back to me Fight the war, fight the war Fight the war, fight the war I can see it, I can see it, I can see it in your eyes Its heavier than me, but I’m strong I’m steady I’m like stones within the sea So fight the war, Fight the war Fight the war, fight the war And hold on Darling find your fight! Let it be your gravity that pulls you back to me Hold on Darling find your Fight! Don’t you dare go gentle to that godforsaken night Just fight the war, fight the war Fight the war, fight the war | ||||

| 4 | Let Your Trouble Go | I wish I could hold your grief in mind And just let you take the day You could sit down by the water Let it rise up, with the tides Oh when the levee breaks Oh when the levee breaks I don’t believe in a lot But I’m hopeful What other choice do we got? Find a way Whether you’re here or you’re gone I’m still hopeful I hear your voice and it's not far away Let your trouble go Let your trouble go Let your trouble go Let your trouble go There’s a way for us to live past fear Breaking out to bigger space I’ve been learning from the water Let it rise up, with the tides Oh when the levee breaks Oh when the levee breaks I don’t believe in a lot But I’m hopeful What other choice do we got? Find a way Whether you’re here or you’re gone I’m still hopeful I hear your voice and it's not far away Let your trouble go Let your trouble go Let your trouble go Let your trouble go I don’t believe in a lot But I’m hopeful What other choice do we got? Find a way Whether you’re here or you’re gone I’m still hopeful I hear your voice and it's not far away | ||||

| 5 | The Dissertation | At 14 in a moment of insecurity My mom came to me and said “Am, be beautiful if it’s what you want. the world can always use more beauty” She said; “But be smart first. Because no one will give you the benefit of the doubt. They shout that you fit A standard and it Has been pandered to women since before you were a thought”. She said; “You live in a breakable, takeable body. One that gets more profitable each day. Pilot this world as a woman with a voice. Don’t settle for lesser or be the second choice. Have something to say”. Believe me I’ve never been at a loss for words But I’m not as brave as my mother So for a while I roared forward Singing other people’s stories, and some just made up because I wanted so badly relate To feeling so big your caution deflates And your vocal chords slam lungs collapse and expand I mistook it for rage at the age, as many 14 year olds do. I lived in privileged town Charged with a childish the need to impress and given every opportunity to go to university it never occurred to me that I would do anything less So I began to learn I learned that we live in a collapsible yet expanding universe And let me be the first To say that we can talk about the speed of light any day So long as it is in a vacuum and we are both in constant motion The notion that an impressive title could replace human connection Was a lie I told myself my entire degree I went so far as to make it my identity You see – the truth is I am an excellent imposter And an excellent parrot But there merit to learning that you can fail at something that you don’t want to do So you may as well try for the thing you want most. So I took a step back And I began to try I tied a few notes to words And felt first how the universe can collapse and expand And the thing is I’m always late, I let the stars determine my fate I’ve been known to procrastinate, And even I have to admit, I live in the mind of an artist One who tried her hardest to be anything and everything else It took me time to see the value of art in the layers of humanity To see it's a continuous line, a cosine wave Where the ups and downs can only be compared because we are both in constant motion And the notion That a number can replace the value of human connection Is a lie we tell ourselves to create scarcity out of something universal You see I live beyond my means And money is one thing But value is another And its funny how something Can be so commonly consumed and we’re still blind to its worth I get it, sometimes out of frustration I want to shake down Spotify until I hear Ching ching But I don’t want to be bitter Because the FOREST becomes a very different place, if the birds refuse to sing And I don’t ever want my corner of the forest to quiet. Because music is a life-line in a lifetime. From the moment an infant claps her hands Its sound and motion And the notion that art is an app or luxury Rather than integral to our history Is a lie whether or not we pay for it How else are supposed to navigate feeling in love failing at love prevailing at love unrequited of How else would we focus out senses to release our emotions? And how ever would we navigate the big ones, like grief? You see we live on a Cartesian plain And sometimes cars just drift into the oncoming lane When resounding crash settles The world won’t ever be the same The music of her name Charged with the need to express the pain And beauty of holding your loved ones near Art is integral to love and grief is the last form of love you can give I take a step back And I begin to see the way At every choice, I hear my mothers voice Have something to say I stand Triangulated between two points, music and connection I think the distance is actually just commitment And I am not lost Its there in the collapse and expand Of my heart as no matter what my title is ill still make art And ill do so honestly in my noisy little part of the forest And I begin to sing It’s the closest that I’ll ever be to something else outside of me, See i’ve been Listening for A deeper call, and when I learn to hear it all, I’ll call back And I begin to sing And I begin to sing | ||||
