To The Waterfall (free) 03:55
Where will you be in five years time? Looking from your rooftop out on the landscape that never called me eagerly I've been thin and I've been absent I wish this was once before but I've got notches on my arm Some float upstream and others down, down, down In search of safe, dry land or off the side of a great big waterfall That's where I'll go That's where I'm heading I'm so sorry if I've been tense just know I love you still But I'll keep moving and you'll keep moving I'll keep on moving down the river to the waterfall I'll keep on dreaming about the river by the waterfall

Occupy My Mind (free) 02:05
Someday I'll step into the cold and my eyes won't bleed These songs are blaring like a pipe bomb blowing up the streets but I just sit back and kick up my feet Cause I know nothing matters more than what's been preached to me and I think I'm finally starting to see that nothing really matters to me as much as when I was fifteen So I spend my days occupying time reading the bus ads and numerous subway wall signs But Occupy Toronto won't cease to occupy my mind Too bad I never made it there on time But I know nothing matters more than what's been preached to me and I think I'm finally starting to see that nothing really matters to me as much as when I was fifteen

Sore Lungs (free) 02:45
Dew has been forming in the garden on top of my head Daybreak has come, daybreak has come And I'm so much older now than I was last fall But still I'm so young, still I'm so young I'm just a tall, frail treehouse with pitfalls and ploys Carved up all around, carved all around And all that I ask is you perch by my doorstep with ease And make not a sound, not a sound not a sound I try, I try to be more discerning of every beautiful mind Be as sturdy as the pavement and stronger than the sea Just be as cautious as a sparrow and as open as can be I try, I try to be more discerning of every beautiful mind As fragile as I may feel there are others beside me with weaker branches than mine

I miss my friends from only a couple months ago and you know I try to justify my reasons for hanging so close I wish I had the guts to see the greatness in everyone I meet but when there's hypocrites and murderers it's hard to stay upbeat that's for sure So I guess that's what they say our friends are for I kept on driving down that winding road carried on by folks I'd met no more than a year ago and that's not to say I'm leaving my loved ones behind I just need to keep on moving sometimes, sometimes I just need to keep on moving sometimes And I know that they'll take care of me and I'll take care of them Now things are changing and I'm more insecure and reunions feel like work and I'm not even sure if I'm the same dumb kid that I used to be but no matter what I know that they'll always love me I know that they will always love me

Frosty Toes (free) 02:38
The sky was green the night I wrote this song by candlelight I hoped it meant everything would be alright Paper and stacks of books fill my tabletop Nothing of use can come from this old sorry lot I tried to leave, take my things and run away but paper and stacks of books seem to make me stay Maybe these songs will drive me away Maybe my lungs will drag me away I slept through the sun into the night I missed my friend I felt like the world had ended, wished that the world would end The next day it shone so bright right through my windowsill but still I felt so empty felt the cold, cold winter's chill Maybe the sun will drive me away Maybe my lungs will drag me away

The sun rose up up up to the rooftops my vision it faded away with every passing stop the hours had finally woke up after me with my back back back facing days behind I stumbled out of bed intent on making it mine I stormed the gates and climbed down the hill to the sea There's nothing left here for me So long to wasted company I've been drained drained drained of my self control it's time to change my name and grow a sturdy backbone this rut I'm in is so toxic I'm gonna explode This constant ride ride ride I've been taking everyday has got me feeling more and more that I gotta run away there's nothing anyone can say that makes me want to stay at home Looks like I'm done with Toronto I don't want to resent the ones I love But it's taken me to long to make my mind up I don't want to leave behind the ones I love but I'm more sure than I've been any other time

about

I had put off starting this project for much longer than I had planned, mainly due to not being content with previous recordings I had done. So, in an attempt to ignore my repeated discontent I recorded all of my songs in one fell swoop. The result is this six track demo that I'll have at whatever shows I'm playing. These songs are the product of setting off on my own and attacking the daunting process of writing solo songs as opposed to the usual full band tunes.
