Canary
Verse 1
What can we say in this town of ghosts?
The lights they burned out so long ago
When they turned off the heat we lit the coal
When they turned off the power we lived by candle glow
When do you decide it’s over?
When do you decide it’s time to go?
Chorus
Walk away, let the darkness take this place
There's no guilt
Abandon hope, it led us astray
Verse 2
Roads aren't closed but there's nowhere to go
Living here has made me old
Dawn came and went, but nothing rose
All traces soak into the dusty earth
We gave away control, was it worth it
There was a battle cry, but we forgot the words
Chorus
Walk away, let the darkness take this place
There's no guilt
Abandon hope, it led us astray

Lost and Not Found
Verse 1
Trust - can be so easily broken
And you gotta work hard
To get it back
I try - to lift my head up
But the weight brings me
Back down
Fear - of the dark and unknown
Can feel so
Crippling
Feel like I'm drowning
The waves wash
Over me
Chorus
Clawin' my way back up to the surface
The light comin down, it eases the burden
I wasn’t before, but yeah now I’m certain
Everything passes, including this hurtin’
Before dawn comes it’ll probably worsen
I’m spinnin' 'round, at the mercy of the current
but I’m pulling for the shore and I think it’s workin'
no way to stop me 'less they cave the whole earth in
Verse 2
Stare - at the clock
As the hours go by
And no time is passing
“Forget the past” I tell myself
Much easier
Said than done
Memories of lives not put together
How'd our future
Look to you
Stare at the time
As the clock goes ‘round
Those do-nothing hands are mine
Chorus
Dynamite’s on the rocks and I feel the fuse
Bright-burning phosphor, a tracer lancing through
Guiding the chaser—the next shot can’t lose
There are some things worse than the tomb
I’m the patient and surgeon alone in my room
It’s a me-ectomy to stop the abuse
I trusted you
