I've been up all night, but even now I don't feel like sleeping. I feel like walking, I feel like talking, I feel like eating. I feel like running, putting my body to the test. I'll be running on empty, but afterward I can rest. What'll keep me going is the feeling of finally being free. Free of that hole I was in all night, that hole that had a hold of me. Today just seems so much brighter, so much sooner. So pack up all your things, let's spend the day getting lost in Vancouver.

i've seen the face behind your eyes i think i saw it first in the evening under a Talmud sky i threw a snowball in the river your dog followed me home even though i told him to run away a music box at midnight woke me up beside my bed i held your name, you held your head and i can still remember the night when you said it was no longer easy to wake up or fall asleep no matter what the time was is this love in your head? or a feeling in your chest? can you know that you know? or will you just do your best, to live honestly? i got a message from the LORD He said, "watch your feet! change is coming! like the wind under the door!" so with my bags packed and ready i waited, watching by the window for something that was out of place (you came around again) is this love in our bed? or just in the books we've read? should we say we saw things clearly? or was this all just a failed attempt, to live honestly? well the last time i saw you, you were free and i hope you still live, live abundantly my dad went soft when he heard the news and my sisters' in the kitchen, singing the blues but my mom found hope in the words you said, "today, today, listen here my friend! "today, today, you will be with me! "today, today, you will be with me! "today, today, today!" was there love in his hands? like the love thats in his feet? o, there was love in his mouth, when he made for us a way, to live honestly

Born above a bookshop, barely born, but by George he was. Not a single teardrop hit the floor, and they feared the worst. The worst didn't happen, but neither did the best. He was left with scars never to forget because the Queen couldn't cure his disease of the neck and Nathaniel piled on to Michael's great debt. Brain like a spinning top, hitting door after door. He ticked like a clock, but spun more and more. His porter left forever, left three children and a wife. After time, he started to court her and took over his friend's old life. He wrote for almost nothing, and Tetty did all the work, so feeling guilty, he packed up and left and lived with his new found friend, sleeping in taverns or not at all. And he wrote a book about the Savage life. He wrote every word in just nine years.

acting up, or acting out another step towards your doubt if change is coming, we'd better keep the windows open i want to be loud, i want to shout i miss that house beside the park and climbing stairways in the dark you closed the door, you closed your mouth i miss your skin, we missed the mark stepping out, now stepping up i've hurt my pride, i've heard enough 'cause i always talk a bigger game than i can play and hope to G-d this goes away so put a brave face on it a lesser woman would have quit a long ways back but finally freedom has been rung now i'm singing songs i've never sung, before draw these lines upon your heart hoping to end up somewhere nearer to the start i always thought that i'd be brave not fall in love, and fall apart

Scary People 04:11
Why are you in such a hurry? Why are you in such a rush? With the pressure you put on me, I am bound to mess it up. Which I do with frequency, which makes you so mad at me. I can't stand it! My heart makes a drum beat. A really quick drum beat. Whenever you get near me, my heart makes a drum beat. Oh, you scare me! You really scare me!

about

All 5 songs on "Trips" were recorded in one long take and spliced into tracks afterward, giving the EP a very cohesive, authentic feel.
