The Hell Jar

I live on the outside of my life
I've often looked in to see myself try
There's a bell jar tight around my head
A wasp beats itself against the glass
But I wanna catch the sun
Undo the work that you've done
I wanna catch the breeze
Give you a reason to believe
I live on the inside of my life
I've often tried to push the curtain aside
There's a dark room inside my mind
With old photographs of the sky
But I wanna catch the sun
Undo the work that you've done
I wanna catch the breeze
Give you a reason to believe

Kill The Sights

Hold me close and kill the sights babe
I’ll never feel at home
The night crawlers will be waiting
Down by the old canal
Let’s sleep away the years babe
So that we never wanna leave
I’ve given up my old ways babe
I’ve given up my dreams of hell
The old house will be standing
Up by the chestnut tree
I’ll be back in December
With a suitcase fit to sell

You said I should learn to be myself
Babe, doing what you say ain't gonna help
You said I should learn to be strong
Babe, that makes me feel like I've been all wrong
I’m rewriting the story in my mind
Only way for me to stay alive
See me later I'll be down
Somewhere on the sad side of town
Ooooo did you even try?
Release me from this hell, release
I've been sitting on these steps for many weeks
My feet are cold, my hair is damp
And I left my pills down on that bench
Ooooo did you even try?

No One Is Right

Just go back
Hang with the guys
Go back to your life
The one that's just fine
Generosity is a chain
You force someone to wear
And I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry that I tied you down
A wise woman once said
I'll love you til I die
But was she wrong to be so strong?
Oh was she wrong to be so strong?
I don't wanna know what I look like
I don't wanna be a part of that band
No one is right
No one is right
No one is right in this world
So just go back
Hang with the guys
Go back to your life
The one that's just fine

Love By Proxy

I met a man, he’s so hard to see
Don’t wanna put him on the spot but I need...
I met a man, he’s so fucking clean
Thinks he can dust himself all off on me
I met a boy, he’s so hard to read
Thinks he’s got something that others can’t see
I met a child with black in his eyes
Thinks he’s got something that others can’t hide
I need some lovin’ ooh ooh ooh yeah!
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

Don't go to heaven too soon
No one's there waiting for you
I know you've been low, me too
No one can wait for a cure
How could you get so high?
How could you get so high?
And not come down...
Don’t cry on shoulders that lie
We all have a beast inside
Let it drink your stomach dry
Then come back to me
How could you get so high?
How could you get so high?
And not come down...
All those books you read
All those thoughts you had
All those voices you led
They're just pepper in the sand...
How could you get so high?
How could you get so high?
And not come down…

Rising Stronger

I choose my own body, all battered and torn
I choose to see the light wherein I will lay it on
I choose the lost voices, sinking into the streets
I choose all the women who’ve lost the urge to breathe
Away, don't let me play too soon
Away, what they call fate is just a game
I choose my own steeple, drowning in the rain
I choose the cracking cheeks of the wind and the hurricane
I choose to see the ghosts, rushing over me
I choose all the women who’ve lost the urge to see
Yeah you know what it’s like, to lose the one you love
Cos you forgot to fight while there was still some time
Away don't let me play too soon
Away what they call fate is just a game

When It Happens
05:32
|

|
Will you take my hand?
When we're old and grey
Will you be my friend?
Will you stay til the end?
Life goes on
And I can't feel a thing
Life goes on
And I've forgotten everything
Carry on
Forget why we sing
Carry on
I can feel everything
It doesn't hurt so much anymore
And when it happens you'll be the one I think of

Bits'n'Pieces

I got back a little piece of me
Not sure it’s the piece I need
I’ve been in a wasteland for so long
I can’t remember what I’ve lost
Now I’m good, I’m fine
I’m conversing with my rationality
Yes I’m good, I’m fine
I wish you could see how far I’ve come
And the waves rise up to see me
The trees bend to listen
The whole sun is there

It's Your Birthday

It's difficult to put into words why I love this record but I just do. I love the way Vera delivers lyrics and I can "see" what is being sung about.

Out of My Province
by Nadia Reid
supported by 8 fans who also own “Kill The Sights”
The fave song title has to be a pun on the Canadian national anthem and yes I'm late to this party :) Liked the light touch to the extra strings and horns. Just enough to add colour and swing.
