lyrics

I worried myself sick in a room with a dog
And a world on my shoulders
I guess I left you outside
What to say, what to do, what to think, what to do with myself
I think you had to go

I forgot you this time–didn’t know you had gone
Out in the trees
I guess I left you to die
Didn’t know, didn’t care, didn’t look, didn’t see where you went
But now I see

You are not my own
You are not myself
You are not a part of me
I think I hear a voice
I think I better leave
I think this time I just need me

You used to feel like home
When I swirled my tongue around
Melt you down in perfect words
Chew the gum out of your mouth

I used to dream in colour
Like a coat of anything
I loved you while I was losing it
And sinking in my teeth

Into the side of your gut
I drive a nail or two in
And I worry about myself
And the trouble that I’m in

‘Cause you had clasped your knotted fingers
Around the base of my young neck
How did you so easily slip out?

about

Common Fires Kelowna, British Columbia

Described as having “[melodies] akin to Ben Howard or Bon Iver’s rawest moments”, and as having both “the serene qualities of singer-songwriter music [and] the abstract tendencies of prog”, Common Fires is equal parts ambitious and moving.
