lyrics

Even Lake Louise can’t wash soiled memories from a clean conscience
So my heart cries on sleeves tied as tourniquets, tighter as the swell ebbs
A thousand miles away but my fathers cologne fills my olfactory making pine more Brut
Broken thorns embed like white knuckles in heat and I hear my mothers scream in the night wind

Trails wind around the lake but always back to the same place where tourists park and make out
With the still life Japanese please to thank you
Man’s architecture crumbling at F2 stop this mad cyclical family ritual
Can’t seem to escape that I hate 25 years of batteries gone too low to play
Co-robbery of youth and wanting to stave the damn beast

Even Lake Louise cascades to some less beautiful place more impure as it does
And all innocence spirals down the same drain at war with filth
We’re at war with filth
