about

I wrote the title track Flood Season on a visit to New Brunswick. It was Spring, a time when the floods rose over the roads and backyards. Flood Season talks about being alone but not being lonely. It is about finding the ability to rely on yourself when relying on others is more familiar.

lyrics

I can be who I want
In this dirty city
Change my name and the way that I talk
But I don’t want to wait for
A song to save me
Lift me up like a mourning dove
If I cry and I scream into the telephone
Maybe I could wake you up
Break the lines
And break all this conscious
Build a boat for the growing flood

I’ll run until I can see straight
All through the waters, I wade
With my face up
To the leaky skies
My weezy heart sings a lullaby

I try to write a formula
And solve it in my sleep
But the paper, it's too clean
So I write the letters out nice and neat
I built a fire in my backyard
Built out of old tables and chairs
Let the smoke burn the open sky
And I threw in
All of my letters

I’ll run until I can see straight
All through the waters, I wade
With my face up
To the leaky skies
My weezy heart sings a lullaby

Oh the operator
He never woke up
Cause he was in a lucid sleep
With "don’t disturb" nailed
To the kitchen wall
Far below the water, it seeps
But I won’t knock this down
I’m afraid of this mess
The clouds hang low like a life sentence
No sleep at all
There’s no ashes
If you keep this fire so small

I’ll run until I can see straight
All through the waters, I wade
With my face up
To the leaky skies
My weezy heart sings a lullaby
