hop to it, get in
you were born to win
hop to it, get in
you were born to win
but always saying yes
means you're always on the go
always saying yes
means you're always on the go
oh, a wall of willows, wispy green
how i wish i could stop and explore you
but always saying yes
means you're always on the go
never say no
there's no lion in the room
except when i'm with you
and i know it isn't real
but don't you feel it, too?
silence slides like butter down our throats
i'll believe that you're a swimmer when i see you float
oh, a lonely willow by the pond
pieces fall in
no one grows tall beside you
but hop to it, get in
you were born to win
hop to it, get in
you were born to win
and i was born, i was born
i was born, i was
i was born, i was born
i was born, i was
oh, a wall of willows, wispy green
how i wish i could stop and explore you
but always saying yes
means you're always on the go

Break Glass

something sparked a fire inside
yeah i have got a feverish mind
i'm filled with heat and ash and air tonight
something's missing from my eyes
yeah it feels like someone has died
i don't know why i feel so alone tonight
it feels like i'm letting you down
doing all i can do, give it the best i've got
and it feels like it's not enough
and tonight i'm starting to lose it
something sparked a fire inside
and i can't move, i'm mesmerized
it doesn't matter if it's too hot or too bright
it has become all i see
the flames are now consuming me
and i don't think i should stay home tonight
memories of lessons i have learned
like how to give first aid to a burn
that fire extinguisher
is locked away for safekeeping so break glass
but i don't want to break glass
no i don't want to break glass
i don't want to break glass

A Flower Blossomed

i took a risk last night
i opened up my mind to the light
a new feeling swallowed over me
i thought for sure that i'd feel shaky
or at least a little uneasy
but to my surprise, i felt fine
a flower blossomed in my dream
rose petals collect dew
and in this moment, it is mine
and it is all i see, and i deserve it
and i leave it there to grow
and then back home, the house smells good
and i am good to you, and you to me
and everything is easy
a flower blossomed in my dream
heart strength
i felt heart strength
and it was sending me love
yeah it was holding me
but not holding me up
cause for once, i was not falling
yeah it was holding a strong me
yeah it was holding a strong me

Beams Toronto, Ontario

supported by 19 fans who also own “Ego Death”
The album is very good overall, hate to pick just one song, could easily have gone with Float The Flood or Jolt The Amplifier. For the uninitiated, their music seems influenced by Sleater/Kinney and Throwing Muses. Having seen them live recently, got a glimpse of some new material, definitely looking forward to more from them in the years to come :)

Forever Only Idaho
by Harrison Lemke
Big, strummy songs that recall the heart-on-sleeve earnestness and lo-fi glory of early Mountain Goats.
