Avery 02:34
AVERY (Emma Bortolon-Vettor/Sara Bortolon-Vettor) When I let down all my friends I didn't mean to cross the line with my life but I did. It was shock, a hit to my ego I tripped, I didn't mean to threaten a life but I did. There's no use in feeling down. Only fools could feel this down And I'm one of them now. But when this scream stops, will it now? Didn't you hear that this voice calling out is too loud? Yours was a doubt, a teetering seesaw I hope to eat discomfort, never walking on shells. There's no use in feeling down. Only fools could feel this down And I'm one of them now.

FIRE IN THE BACK ROOM (Liam Magahay/Mark Ferrari/Sara Bortolon-Vettor) I know the time is now to fill this haunted room with every colour that our souls allow. And though the flame is near you’re better off this way a minor burn is never worth the fear. So let the ritual commence Let’s lose our bodies in a trance of present wonder And let the well that is your mind, attain some level of divine come flooding, flooding, flooding. No time for your doubts to loom. Give in before it’s too soon. And we are one with every beat, our souls amalgamate in heat of present wonder. And after all is felt and free, you’ll see a world you’ve never seen come flooding, flooding, flooding. No time for your doubts to loom. Give in before it’s too soon. Fire in the back room!

Edith 02:42
EDITH (Sara Bortolon-Vettor) In my mind, it’s just forever In our moments, we’ll live together When we can. Put blame on those who wander Home after you. Pace yourself, too much too soon, To love you anyway. Edith! Edith! Edith! Edith! Fucking around again, why do I feel like the room is crowded? Yet there’s no one here. Acoustic space is all I am Oh you and I are alike. There’s no place like this space. She’s going to love you anyway. Is there a point to this conversation or are you just talking for the sake of talking? Edith! Edith! Edith! Edith!

TOADALLY, MAN (Mark Ferrari) I was told, "I told you so!" By a very, very, toady little man. He was atrociously curious In a totally, toady, non-commital way. But he was talking about nothing Always repeating, the last hour of the conversation. The last hour of the conversation. He was always repeating always repeating (but escalating) always repeating (but escalating) 'till it broke! And the whole thing it went up in smoke. I was hoping for an elaborate joke but sometimes people keep talking For no good reason other than they don't know don't know don't know how to stop!
5.
OUR LIVES LIE (Emma Bortolon-Vettor/Mark Ferrari) I'm already gone, just haven't said goodbye I've been awoken to a greater mind In the sunset of our time. You don't have to say don't have to stay To be honest, I've had my bags packed for days. I won't be your tie that binds When inevitably you need a friend, don't expect a lending hand. 'Cause I can't be your comfortable No I won't be your comfortable. Grow, and I will grow too. Where to begin, I'm afraid to lose my times with you. Memories will only get you through Our lives lie, in something new. And it's true, what you said: "I'd rather live apart than together and dead..." I just didn't have the words. But now, now we know. How many years with not much to show. Are we living for the birds? When inevitably you need a friend, don't expect a lending hand. 'Cause I can't be your comfortable No I won't be your comfortable. Grow, and I will grow too. Where to begin, I'm afraid to lose my times with you. Memories will only get you through Our lives lie, in something new. So this is good riddance, Never quite goodbye, Decisions for rebirth and dreaming to survive. I'll save the last dance for you.

Promise Me 03:49
PROMISE ME (Sara Bortolon-Vettor/Mark Ferrari) Here already, just for now. There’s no sign of life when you’re living in the ground. It’s alright, we’ll go outside. Why should I be the one to take away your fun? We’re just along for the ride. I pay no mind I have no mind. I’m not saying, I’m not saying I’m not saying something serious. Just got a big infatuation with a Feeling that’s bound to bust. Honestly, my friend You’re running on paper thin floors. Oh what happened to you? Aimlessly pleading to no one at all. Nothing at all. Please forgive me, I’m not well In the head, she said Why are you up so late? I feel better than I did yesterday. Honestly, my friend You’re running on paper thin floors. Oh what happened to you? Aimlessly pleading to no one at all. Nothing at all.
7.
I WAS NOT AWAKE (Sara Bortolon-Vettor) Back to the start. Back to the way things were a year ago. It was just a dream again I swear. I was not aware. I was not awake! Being reckless, senseless There’s no divide. I can’t confide in you Unless you’re bleeding at the teeth. I was not awake! Oh how could you, Oh how did you know? That I was mad. What has become of of us my friend?
8.
Honest Man 02:00
HONEST MAN (Mark Ferrari) You gotta believe we’re all someone I watched an honest man he blew off his gun and cut of his hand. And I watched an honest man he blew off his gun and cut of his hand I was walking alone out the nearest station And feeling so green about interaction. Listen to the voices and the gay noises And they gave all the satisfaction. I was an honest man ‘Till I blew off my gun and cut of my hand. And I was an honest man ‘Till I blew off my gun and cut off my hand Wanna believe? We’re all someone.
9.
Forgive Me 03:54
FORGIVE ME (Sara Bortolon-Vettor) Mistake. I don’t want to lie awake with you. I don’t want to lie next to you. What a big mistake. Could you turn the other way? Give or take Situation autocracy. Leaps and bounds away from me What a big mistake. An imbalance, out of state. Forgive me I wish you well Be that as it may, Well I hope you’re doing...well. Forgive me I wish you well Be that as it may, Our conversation is quite swell. No change. Back into remission. A faith, a fight against grievance Tumultuous bate. She’s an orb out of space. Forgive me I wish you well Be that as it may, Well I hope you’re doing...well. Forgive me I wish you well Be that as it may, Our conversation is quite swell.

Snow Falls 03:31
SNOW FALLS (Sara Bortolon-Vettor) First snow falls Feel the flakes melt in your open palms Feel the flakes melt in your open palms Is this real? Did you walk away from it all? Why did you walk away from it all? Off with the night, we’ll sit by candle light It’s the truth. I won’t waste anymore time when I’m with you. What’s the point of living life the way you’re told to? Tossing away everything you hold true? First snow falls I want to be near but I can’t sleep here. When I’m with you it’s so surreal. Off with the night, we’ll sit by candle light It’s the truth. I won’t waste anymore time when I’m with you. Gracious hands won’t do you any good When you’re blue Oh blue Toss out the future, Could it get any bleaker? What have you become? Oh become

Save Us! 04:17
SAVE US! (Mark Ferrari) It’s so hard to find Sunshine in the city boy. Well I know, it’s hard to find. It’s so hard (So hard!) To find (To find!) Sunshine in the city girl. Well I know, it’s hard to find. When it’s February and your boots are soaked through You’re wrapped so tight Your mom don’t recognize you Even if you woke up in time for noon Mr. Blue Sky’s gone away ‘til June! And so it’s hard Come winter time To find the sun Without going blind. Well trust me, it’s hard to find. So from time to time if I may get high It’s only because I believe in lies And I make that Sunshine in my mind. Oh it’s so hard to find Sunshine in the city boy Well I know, it’s hard to find. It’s so hard to find Sunshine in the city girl Well I know it’s hard to find. Daylight savings Save us!
