"Jittering and tightly-packed" -National Post
"Smart, crisp, and extremely hooky" -Crawdaddy
"One of the most innovative bands, both live and on record... (Shimmering Lights is) stonking and immediately-pleasing" -Almost Gold Recordings

- Track Name: Ghosts At My Back
-
Step light
Step lightly over groundswells
They’re liable to swallow you whole
But lately
These ghosts at my back
Are stepping lighter
Than they ever have before
Their speech over my head
And over my mouth
They move across peripheral lines
Showing where they’ve clearly
Migrated south
And lowly kept their heads
Around, around, around
Call police
The telephone is screaming out
Cautionary tales
I’d even think to take direction
Only if direction ever came
To saddle me with a guilty stricken spark
To stir the lightning
We’ve got nothing now
We’ll spare the dark - Track Name: Really Want It
-
Your words say you'll make some changes
Your actions just aren't correlating
I trusted you, I think you did too
But the things you do are so wrong
I know by the things you say that you really want it
But look at the things you do, I think you forgot it
A battered heart attack for the one who's got your back
You told me then the time was now
I trusted you, I think you did too
But all the things you do are so wrong
The constellation of all the things you love
Is floating out from under your thumb
How long can you fake that you don't know what to do
How long will it take to follow through
I know by the things you say that you really want it
But look at the things you do, I think you forgot it
I know by the things you say that you really want it
But look at the things you do - Track Name: Make Believe It
-
Make believe it so that we can see it one more time
I can swear that we once saw it there on the sidewalk
Sometimes feels like love first
Situation gets worse
It's so tragic
When trouble feels like magic
Oh no, lonely ghost
Please don't go away
You know sometimes I wish you would stay
Make believe it so our secret love will always find
It's the thought that's on our mind and in the backdrop
Now we've laid our sights on this prize
Now we contend with the pain in our side
Sometimes feels like love first
Situation gets wose
It's so tragic
When trouble feels like magic
Oh no, lonely ghost
Please don't go away
You know sometimes I wish you would stay
Make believe it so that we can see it one more time
I can swear that we once saw it there on the sidewalk
Now we've laid our sights on this prize
Now we pretend with the light in our eyes - Track Name: White Like Lies
-
I'm aware of my addiction so I guess that I'm in charge of how it goes
All is well, so I might as well
I'm afraid of dying, maybe, so I should take care of my body and pray for my soul
All is well, so I might as well
Close my eyes and I'll let time decide
And if I time it right, well I can still get by
Watch my words light up and disappear
Like they're not even here, glowing white like lies
I'm afraid of dying, maybe, so I should take care of my body and pray for my soul
All ain't well, so I sure as hell
Close my eyes and I'll let time decide
And if I time it right, well I can still get by
Watch my words light up and disappear
Like they're not even here, glowing white like lies - Track Name: Halflight
-
Ashes to shingle
Over chimney fire
Where the moonlight
Mingles with lamplight
All the while
We waste our heavy hands
Clinging to driveways
Lifted by a frost
Underneath this
Grand, mass exodus
Of cars
Our heavy hands will rust
And break down into dust
Swear to God
When we were young
Where half-light hit
We saw you in the Sun
We could see
Your eyes of stone
When you told us
We’d always be alone
Pulling my face close to yours
To show me blood, dripping from your pores
If you could bite my face off, you know you would
The stench of something dead
Is mixed with perfume that bled
From your limbs onto the hardwood
Fighting the dark
With the fierceness of a fire
Burning ten loose leafs
Attaching words and wire
With heat and silhouettes
When we find you
Ashes work to
Bury you away…
Bury you away.
Swear to God
When we were young
Where half-light hit
We saw you in the Sun
We could see
Your eyes of stone
When you told us
We’d always be alone
For sanity’s sake, I’ll keep her hid
In a mason jar like when we were kids
In a mass burial of insect kind
If someone finds out and breaks the seal
The mason jar will surely reveal
The dampened spark connecting her thoughts to mine - Track Name: Kingfisher
-
False, alarming paranoia is setting and settling
Against the grain on the skin
These days, these days
These days set out to kill you
And they do
Can we elaborate on love
Tapping a well through bleeding hearts
Bleeding them dry
I never read it in a textbook, newspaper, or airplane magazine
Where the girls, in their uniforms blue, save the day
My, my, my
It only teaches me to die some
Greave and leave the lonely lonesome
Can we elaborate on love
Tapping a well through bleeding hearts - Track Name: Racingtoshimmeringlights
-
Pacing behind a hurried vision
Racing to shimmering lights
The knife dictates the incision
All the while the hand leads us in spite ourselves
We'll shine divine light on this madness set in stone
I'll put it plainly so you won't blame me
Well I just don't think you know what's right
And I don't think you know what to fight for
My friends, they tell me who I am when I see
Myself, from the other side and I make it right
Leave it to the light to refuse
Shoot this indecision in the heart and blur our vision to white
We'll shine divine light on this madness set in stone
Make it right - Track Name: Bones Attack!!
-
If I love you to death, will your bones attack me
Swear on my breast pocket, only fools are fallin'
Count that your heavy handed heart has struck
A chord with everyone you know
It leaves a mark, burnt black, where light came out
The spark is now a silhouette
If I love you to death, will your bones attack me
Swear on my breast pocket, only fools are fallin'
I saw that child, it made her face light up
I felt it too and passed it on
Sometimes the blazing gets me all choked up
What will replace it when it's gone
Gimme some, gimme some, gimme some lovin'
Gimme some, gimme some, gimme some lovin'
If I love you to death, will your bones attack me
Swear on my breast pocket, only fools are fallin' - Track Name: This Work
-
This work is so hard mama
This work is so hard mama
"Baby it's hard" x3
This life is so hard mama
This life is so hard mama
"Baby it's hard" x3
"Baby it's so damn hard"
And if we don’t believe it so
We’ll tear this thing apart
This work is so hard mama
This work is so hard mama
"Baby it's hard" x3
This life is so hard mama
This life is so hard mama
"Baby it's hard" x3
"Baby it's so damn hard"
And if we don’t believe it so
We’ll tear this thing apart
And if we don’t believe it so
Agnostic wars on fire
Mind our memory lost to the world
With our legs deep underground
We will end full knowing
The loneliest moment
Will only break us down
Knee deep in afterlife
We collapse from the inside
Making love underground
We're being pulled into the hillside - Track Name: Eagles
-
Well it all depends on what you believe
And whether or not you can conceive that
We'll be all right, yeah, we'll be all right
You may love me, but I will love you more
We will be all right
You may love me but I will always love you more
