It started in a bedroom that I shared with my ex-girlfriend for three weeks after we broke up
no no no wait
It started when my mom told me
The greatest form of comedy
Is when your insults are pointed at yourself so I wrote a joke
Then I wrote a few more
Then I started writing songs now I'm stuck now I'm stuck
And now
All I want is the feeling of a job well done
To last for a little more than a moment
Before I forget and get to scared to be around anyone
No one likes a pisces who can't help themselves
But still won't take any advice from anyone else
"You should really increase your intake of leafy greens"
"Stop sleeping so much"
"Have you thought about not being so fucking mean to yourself?"
Oh sure I never thought of that one no you're right
I must just *like* feeling like shit all the time
"Well if you peel back the layers of this arms length sarcasm you might realize that sometimes you look forward to going home alone"
Home Alone
Feeling lonely and ugly and everything in between
Its thanks to this
Self possessed
Obsessive
Overthinking
Ego
That's constantly craving validation and sympathy
I started writing all these songs in the first place
And that's how I know
That's how I know I'm a Pisces
"You can't just keep blaming all your problems on astrology eventually you have to start taking responsibility for your actions and actively trying to change or improve upon these things that you hate so much about yourself."
Oh yeah well just watch me.

It’s a shame that you never found
The will to make a change
A change in your heart
It’s a shame that you never lost
The need to find a distraction in the dark
To get you through the year
The little lion heart you’re so desperate to be near
You wrote this song before
Why the heck are you back here?
It’s a shame
It’s a god damn crying shame
One way or another more than likely you’ll just let her down
You’re never gonna tell her that you love her so don’t stick around
You’re never gonna find another lover or make your mother proud
You lost another lover
You better not make a sound

I don't know
How hard it was for you to pack up and go
But I thought
It took a lot of guts for you to show us your bones
Say oh say
Tell me again how it feels to stray
From your friends
From your home
Cause that's a feeling I know
Singing to yourself
Singing to yourself
Singing to yourself
It's the only song that you ever wrote anyone remembers anymore
But now it goes
Hold Up
They don't love you like I do
Hold up
They don't live you like I do hold up
They don't love you like I do
Hold Up
Or was it something else?
Or was it something else?
Or was it something else?
Wait
I was wrong
You were right
It never lasts

Oh my god
If I’m getting too loud would you let me know?
Before it’s too late
And I can show myself out
And get home safe
Cuz I don’t wanna pass out in your bathroom
(Full disclosure I might have puked in your bathroom)
Oh Oh Tonight
It’s not impossible to imagine a scenario where I move to Ontario
In a misguided mid-twenties attempt to make it big
But end up in another crappy cafe job
To pay my rent
(Okay late twenties)
Oh my Oh my god
I didn’t factor in I never even thought about
How expensive it gets living on your own
In a city with no rent control and a batch of brand new condos
I’m not breaking down
I’m not breaking down
I’m not breaking down
I’m breaking Into my apartment
(He’s breaking into his apartment)
The locks are frozen and my key broke off inside the doorknob
And it’d be an hour or two by myself waiting for my landlord
To bring a spare that I know she’s gonna charge me for
And I keep thinking back to 2004
The last time that this happened to me I had my best friend there
And I still couldn’t breathe
I was fourteen feeling powerless
And by 26 I kind of thought that that feeling would pass
I’ve been wrong about a lot of stuff
And felt a lot of things
And let me tell you that’s a feeling that lasts
And it’s not impossible to envision feeling nervous
Every second every minute every hour every day
Of this middling existence and like Chad Kroeger says
It’s too bad it’s too bad it’s too bad it’s too bad
(Hey it’s not all that bad)
Oh my Oh my god
I never held out hope I never considered you might
Ever ever wanna see my face again
Let alone make amends
But you just moved back in
I’m not breaking down
I’m not breaking down
I’m not breaking down
Barriers or conventions in music and songwriting
It’s not repetitive more like derivative
But I’ll admit I repeat myself a lot
Ba da da-ee ah ba’s and self doubt
Are all that I got
There was that time that I tried to make a metaphor
It wouldn’t stick to the wall it just fell to the floor
I picked it up and I dusted it off
Gave it a thumbs down like Siskel did to Reservoir Dogs
And now I’m the same age as Quentin Tarantino was
When he shot that first film
And I hate it cause I know
I don’t got ten records to make heck one was kinda pushing it
I already think I’m full of shit
And it feels impossible
Getting back into a headspace where I’m ready
And able to create
Another song that’s not about writing songs
Fake it til you make it’s all when good man as long as you can pull it off
You can pull it off
I’m not breaking down
I Promise.

My mouth is dry my teeth are fucking sore
I’ve never been so sweaty before
They say that it could be worse
And that it’s gonna get better
But for now I’m convinced it’ll be this shitty forever
Forever’s too fucking long
It might already be too late
For me to get and get out of my bed anytime today
I’ve got a lack of ambition
And abundance of doubt
Writing songs at quarter to two I don’t even like what they’re about
I’m acting really selfish and I’m stepping out of line
And I don’t think it’s gonna be a long long time
Til something I say brings you round again to find
I’m not the man you think I am a home
Uh oh here we go
So who’s that guy at all your shows
The only person I don’t know
I see the way he’s looking for ya and I think I gotta go
I thought I passed the point of holding out hope
(ugh)
But I still get super jealous and I can’t cope oh
Oh no
Things are gonna get worse before they’re gonna get better
Things are gonna get worse before they’re gonna get
Better?
Things are gonna get worse
Things are gonna get worse
Things are gonna get worse I’m only making it worse
I’m only making it worse
I’m only making it worse

I’ve been trying to give myself the space
That I’ll need when this all just blows up in my face
(Good Luck)
It’s hard, I know, I shouldn’t text you back until tomorrow
Or a week or ten days it’s in my best interest to wait
Oh but I don’t want to
I’ve been trying to ignore your instagram
But your cat’s frickin cute so you gotta understand
(Good Luck)
Good Luck’s just how I got myself in this mess in the first place
If I’m gonna stop wallowing I gotta stop following you
Oh but I don’t want to
I’ve been trying to wait patiently
to pick you up, take you out, get some wings get some drinks
(Good Luck)
It’s hard, I know you’ve got shit to do tomorrow
While I’ll be in my bed all day trying not to call you to say
Let’s hang out
Oh but I’d like to
I wish that you has asked me to wait
I’m feeling like a child
I’m acting like a god damn baby
I look like shit
Hoping for someone to raise me
I wanna throw a tantrum at ya
Cause I don’t know how else to make you look

It’s hard hanging out with you it’s harder to ignore
The feeling in my chest telling me to stay a little bit more
I don’t wanna go home
Cause I like hanging out on your couch
In spite of how shitty it’ll feel
The next day on my own trying to hide the reveal
Of my realization of exactly just how I have missed this
I should probably go home
It’s hard hanging out with you but that’s kind of why I like to

Clementine oh my darling
Apple of my eye
Iron deficiencies are commonly
Predicted by pallor fatigue
Broken Fingernails
Left untreated turn anemic
But you and I both know that just is not what’s happening here
It’s not the reason you sleep through the morning
Or why you can’t think clearly until three or four or five
And no it’s definitely not why the last three texts you sent all said
I’m sorry
Maybe next time
When I get a little bit older I’ll stop holding on to everything I ever did that I was so sure someone would laugh at me for
I hope
When I get a little bit wiser I’ll learn to recognize these patterns
Of destructive behaviour
And I’ll do something about it
Clementine oh my darling
Apple of my eye
Iron deficiencies are easier to treat
Than the itch at the back
The back of your mind
That says you’re nothing
To no one
And there’s nothing to do about it

No, It's Fine. Halifax, Nova Scotia
Award winning Post-Emo-Pop-Revival. Pretty much exactly the kind of music you would expect a Nova Scotian who visited Philadelphia once and then never stopped talking about it to make.
(sad songs played loudly)
No, It's Fine. recommends:
splay & display
by milk moustache
If you asked me to make a band out of a handful of my favourite people from Halifax that band would look and smell a lot like Milk Moustache
go to album
& Places I've Been
by Alaska D'Alifax
Alaska is one of my absolute favourite songwriters and this lil' guy of an album shows her off so well. It's rockin' it's jazzin' and the arrangement of Vancouver is one my top favourite songs.

Because I need to prove that I have super talented friends on both coasts. Dead Things Part II? Seriously amazing.
