lyrics

everyone here terrifies me. we can stay up drinking wine & wait till the mice come out.
everything here is terrifying. we can sleep silently & listen to the sounds that our stomachs make when we don't eat.
if I had one eye, I think I'd be beautiful & not just an example of coming of age & not feeling liberated.
show me something that you love & haven't shown anyone else. I think the dead still have bad dreams & are haunted by the living.
minus ten degrees, half an inch of snow on your eyelash. stupid stapled telephone poles. I'd hold your hand till I couldn't feel my thumb in my thin magic gloves. if you tilt your neck a little like this it's almost impossible to see dartmouth & imagination can create a better view, for you.
ugly harbour - I want to be loved. it gets colder each day I wake up. touching your hair makes me feel safe. I can't help it that I am afraid.
there is a ship & it's sailing with skeletons, or it's a rowboat with your best friends & I don't know where I am.
can we bury my broken spirit in your yard? & maybe leave yours in a park beside a sandbox for some children to find. they'll have a another dead toy with no life in it's eyes. I'm willing to dig us a hole & put in a box of things we knew but never believed, if you have as many things that you want to forget as me.
write your letters on the white lines down robie street, or in the snowbanks. sit on tall rocks with a stranger, dangling feet & breathing cold air. set up hammocks in between trees or big machines in construction sites. stare at someone in a kitchen, feeling absurd & embarrassed. learn a new word & it's meaning then try to use it when you speak. know that you're safe. share your secrets.
stay in one place long enough to love it.

about

the official suckers Halifax, Nova Scotia

"the official suckers do not suck. i imagine most of the kids at the show think they suck the least out of everyone who played. for such intricate songs, with lyrics which don't rhyme, i was amazed by how many people knew all the words..." - show review by byron.
