Public Servants, let your hair down In these Ottawa nights, I can see you Your lunchtime yoga's over Let your hair down In these Ottawa nights, I can see you Robert Borden Why the big frown? Climb down off of your bill And join the party Suffrage worked out awesome Women got this In these Ottawa nights I can feel you In these Ottawa nights I can feel you We don’t need the queen’s permission We don’t need the queen’s permission Go on, drop the writ I don’t give a shit Gonna cast my vote For pizza and beer My DM’s on the dance floor She is stompin’ on it For once instead of on me I can see you In these Ottawa nights Anything can happen In these Ottawa nights I can see you

Every annoyance is an affront Every moment a cause for correction Every single injustice is worth your full attention Arranging and rearranging Doesn’t it get tiring? Pound a square peg into a round hole and be done with it. Consider this a call for some enforced introspection. Is every slip a downfall? Is every mistake monolithic? Arranging and rearranging Doesn’t it get tiring? Pound a square peg into a round hole and be done with it. Just forget about decorum and do something stupid Is memory not just a collection of tiny regrets? Arranging and rearranging Doesn’t it get tiring? Pound a square peg into a round hole and be done with it.

Warm Winter 02:39
For a minute I was stuck outside they've been changing the locks I saw my breath just hanging out it's only thirty and the snow is gone but still you're chasing the light we go home sooner every night Coming back to a warm winter we weren't invited, but we can stay coming back like a warm winter Any citizen I used to know either not to be found or else a statue in the ground there will always be a dozen things you should have taken along you'll always be a little wrong

I Hate Men 02:43
Vessels of rage and violence I hate men and everything men do Don’t shed a tear for our decline It’s clear that we’re overdue I’m not gonna sugarcoat it: I hate men. I’m lucky to get to say it: I hate men. If gender is a construct I’m not sure that this one’s built to code Call me your epithet of choice Just please don’t call me a bro I’m not gonna sugarcoat it: I hate men. I’m lucky to get to say it: I hate men. You don’t need a court of law Don’t presume innocence You don’t need a judge to know That we are full of shit Ychromosomes are proving a nuisance I know men I am one I know that we are full of shit Save your hot take on manhood I give zero fucks about “nice guys” Way too much victim blaming Dresses up as hearing both sides I’m not gonna sugarcoat it: I hate men. I’m lucky to get to say it: I hate men. You don’t need a court of law Don’t presume innocence You don’t need a judge to know That we are full of shit Y chromosomes are proving a nuisance I know men I am one I know that we are full of shit

When light refracts off of your fractured surface, I rearrange you in the shape I want to see. Tesselations coalesce into some image, a whole that was never there. Reflections are nothing more than light. Reflect back to me. Projections are nothing more than light. Project yourself back to me. You have form and substance and weight and meaning in my dreams. You're nothing more than a conspiracy theory, a logical arrangement of chaotic things. You're nothing more than a construct. You were never there. You never will be. And if you fracture and if you break, the pieces will never be whole again.

Under the light of the VLT I see you Looking alive as you play Coins fall away You are so beautiful you know In the VLT’s blue glow Under the light Only the stains in carpet lie between us How could I break your gaze? Who would look at me that way? It’s clear enough to see My heart is playing me Under the light I’ll be dreaming of Your Zeppelin t-shirt All night I’ll be wondering How you can be near So far The shadows are too deep – under the light After three pints of four-dollar beer I’m swaying That joke must have killed And I’d dance if you will But your partner is a screen pecuniary dreams Under the light I’ll be dreaming of Your Zeppelin t-shirt All night I’ll be wondering How you can be near So far The shadows are too deep – under the light
