A Fleeting glance was all it took Pressed flowers, dried and perfect underfoot Leave imprints in the mind and in the soot And they deserve another look
And though they look right on the page Sentimental value stems from older age Filed away these memories will hold no weight A lifetime catalogued in state
It's a dirty road we walk Pressed flowers to the passer-by will talk But how ironic, no words yielded in closed books Take them out and take another look ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQgMIASat00
Criticizing the accommodation in Ottawa. In actual fact, it was a very nice place, it only seemed boring because it was a public holiday!

Lyrics:
Pity the children left behind,
born at the top of a steep incline,
gifted the slag-heap that we designed,
told we were justified.
They'll play on grass we paved,
as we tell them to act their age.
But perhaps it's us who need to change.
Think of the leaders through whose fingers
promise slipped when ego lingered,
so content to leave the world unbalanced and uncertain.
Think of the chosen ones who'd stand in wings and leave the stage unmanned,
caught in history's remand
beneath the velvet curtain.
Pleasure is the game
we close our eyes to play.
Perhaps it's time to make the change
We shake ourselves from childish stares,
extolling the virtue of a world unfair.
The cold of the cynic is all the rage.
Perhaps it's time we made the change.
To be content seems quaint
when all of this remains.
Put distraction down and make the change.

Lyrics:
Indolent, recalcitrant
Creation made aware
Conceived by necessity
To make good use of the air
Cursory, perfunctory
We stick to the surface noise
Chained and bound by the second count
Winding down like tinker's toys
Nothing more than tinker's toys
Drawn up from a chart
Wind us up and let us go
Watch us fall apart
We stand like heroes
Fall like men
Dream our dreams like boys
Play our parts
And guard our hearts
But we break like tinker's toys
Nothing more than tinker's toys
Drawn up from a chart
Wind us up and let us go
Watch us fall apart

Lyrics:
It is any wonder that the lights go out when you hear his call
Is it any wonder that it falls apart when you stay
And if we lay in the dust and the dirt and the noise
How long till they find us together forever out beyond the choice
Is it any wonder that the smell is sweet when the rat finds the cat on his mind
Is it any wonder that the self you greet has no time
And if crypto can convince the rat that the cat is on side
What hope do we have of together forever out beyond the choice

Lyrics:
Double dealing gives way to soul stealing
Plaster crumbling from the cracked facade of the ornate ceiling
Face masks, pulled back covers
Selfish, arm crossed lovers
Since you gave up on me
Storytellers mock me from the pages with cliches
Exacerbating foreign feelings which seem to come at me in waves
And it seems like I feel the weight of the tide
Since you gave up on me
The surface barely dented, but written off
Throwing away the time we wasted, and possible futures lost
Maybe we should have bought into the fallacy of sunken cost
Do you think it's too late to make amends
Been hearing tales of what we missed from idealistic friends
It costs nothing to pick up the phone
But I'm too proud to be the one
Since you gave up on me
