to stray too far from you⸮ to hope, to pray is to to hope? to fuck, to sing! to pray is to fuck. like wolves at night —to sing? in packs to ask! like wolves at night in packs? with these vulgar words, to ask with these vulgar words? —"well why can’t we be well!?!” —"well why can’t we be well?” I will draw my own sigil. Let that sigil be a stone And on it sits a grey winged gull with its beak high overthrown... That gull can be a vulgar king!!! That rock could be its throne! covered by the blood of a torn up fish; with her minnows swimming below... The surface where the gull seats itself —just hoping for a storm; hoping for the waves to come and wash away thats stone. hoping for the days to change, hoping for the sun again, hoping for the plague to fade hoping for lost cause again hoping for a reason well behind this very song. and hoping for the wolves to sing a hymn we once forgot —that one that said we’d break that rock the kings neck and his arms then we’ll hang him high and then rejoice of how he’s dead and gone! we’ll staple his wings to the ground...the wings we’ll let them bleed –we’ll place his feathers in our hair and cut the legs off all his steeds; with his blood we’ll paint our faces red; craft earrings of his teeth —to celebrate fertility i will seed you like you’re spring!!! i will draw my own sigil let that sigil be a stone it will stand for each who’ve died alone and those who forgot love and i’m sorry i forgot of you forgot of what once was and forgot then sword sunk deep inside your chest and both your arms but i swear i’ll tear it out of you i’ll try to close your wounds i’ll go ahead and stab myself we'll make it two for two eye to eye to see again; to be blind but still okay? 'cause voices are enough this time to get us through each day!!! and varily I’ll think of you and I’ll think of your king and I’ll think of how he fucks you right but know that you’re happy the seeds I wish they blossomed right to pink and white peonies

*tape begins...* oh how she hid in the crevices of my skin! each ! rebutted and blanketed by ... how an —precedes a saccharine "No". huddled in quotation cuts and liquids screaming, "i know, i know, i know!!!" to be blind and honest to clairvoyant but bluffed well i've been thinking the latter's enough to make a ; breath like a lifetime sentence in which i just sit here... ...cuffed... oh how it hid in the crevices of my skin! oh how they'll dig, oh how they'll dig... and how her waist becomes my sepulchre where our studies, our studies are wrapped in the dark. —to be blind, to be honest, to be faithful to trace the words, a semanteme in which to embark. break thumb; escape cuff! break thumb; escape cuff? break thumb; escape cuff... break thumb; escape cuff. *...tape ends*

Endless thanks to all fans who have been to our shows, and sat through every pedal technicality and "accidental" patches of feedback. Thank you to Maddie, Celena, Stephen, Danielle, Mackenzie, Bojam, and families for supporting us from the start, Gianfranc for every amazing photo you've taken during our sets, Kevin for finally getting us to play shows, every band we've had the opportunity to play with, Tri Delta for the amazing support and for bringing us into the Toronto Greek scene, and finally endless thanks to Greg at Dream House, for making us sound way better than we actually are.
