Daily Chores

the road is long- but ive got to keep moving
my body doesnt feel strong- but i got to keep doing
this even though it feels wrong- dont want to notice who's veiwing
and i dont want to deal with the male gaze today
its one more thing that i dont want to care about today
unwanted attention makes me wanna go away
have respect for my body its not yours to survey
objectification is not one of my chores today

Strong Word

i cant say that i hate you because hate is a strong word
and im looking for a word thats more supernatural
maybe loathe, maybe despise, maybe detest oh no
i looked in the dictionary, there was no word there for me
to describe the way im feeling- you are the actual worst thing
i know, lowest of the low
so hate will have to do for now, i can proudly say i hate you
until a stronger word comes along my way
maybe in the vocabulary gym theres a stronger word
workin' out

White Walls

it was a library, now its a coffee shop
it was a swimming pool, now its a coffee shop
it was a corner store, now its a coffee shop
it was an artist centre, now its a coffee shop
it was a music venue, now its a coffee shop
it was an old diner, now its a coffee shop
it was a food bank, now its a coffee shop
it was community, now its a coffee shop
it was a family home, now its a coffee shop
it was a studio, now its a coffee shop
it was a city park, now its a coffee shop
it was a day care, now its a coffee shop
it was a bookstore, now its a coffee shop
it was a garden, now its a coffee shop
it was a public school, now its a coffee shop
it was social housing, now its a coffee shop
white walls
(I went to the swimming pool, but it cost like $20 just to get in. inside, the pool was a steaming hot, double shot, cappuccino with extra foam. as i stepped closer, i saw that the latte art spelled the word 'community' and everyone around me was jumping in. so i held my breath and i closed my eyes, and i took a leap)

Hazardous Conditions

workers needed immediately
no experience is necessary
you just have to be prepared to work
under hazardous conditions
the wages are competitive
and the job comes with its benefits
you just need to be prepared to work
in a horrible position
and those that answer this call will be required to start
we will be building a wall around my heart.

Capital City
02:28

inspired by vancouver, progressive by design
you oughta live here, distinguished and refined
urban convenience, flawless harmony
elevated experience, new standard of living
is this the art that you want on your billboards?
expansive terraces, nature is front and center
a modern mindset, progressive together
a horizon unbound, bringing the streets into your home
new heart of the city, luxury to call your own
is this the art that you want on your billboards?
they brand it as culture but it is certainly
just a capital city- a heartless atrocity
they brand it as culture but it is certainly
just a capital city- another sale of property
they brand it as culture but it is certainly
just a capital city- the real estate majority

Hands Free

my hands were patting you on the back
i wanted to be there for you
my hands were holding you from falling down
you knew it too but you hit the ground
my hands were building up your ego
careful not to bruise knowing i might lose
my hands were covering up all your lies
softening the blows, attentive to your sighs
i dont want to make this about me
but i did everything i could at the time
and now i am enjoying all the extra time
my hands have inside my pockets

Not Quite
02:01
|
|

|
so many things that i have to mention but i only say "hey"
the sky could be any colour i want it but i always choose grey
seems to be the approach that i take in life
livin it up on the edge of a butterknife
i take the shot, but its not my best
i take the lemon, you can have the zest
i take enjoyment in moderate doses until my dying day
just when it seems like ive reached my closest, i move further away
using a ladle with a hole in the middle
i dont seem to mind that it is taking me extra time
to serve your soup that serves you right
i say thats good- you say not quite
you say not quite
