Echorec / A Patient Mind

if you think time is gonna change me
thank god you have a patient mind
I'm just waiting for the next train
I just figured I'd drop by
You say it's fine. This time.
if I was standing in a searchlight
would you ever call my name?
you're just waiting for the next light
I have always felt that way.
I think it's fine. This time.

Saltwater
05:16

(for Danny)
just go home now
keep my headphones on
find the last seat
so no one ever knows
just give up now
no one could tell me I'm wrong
won't be any use
but I'd always know
and so would you...
if saltwater comes around
I can keep it down
I can keep it down
If you found the strength
to stand on two cold feet
you'd step right through the door
run and never stop
when I think of you now
won 't see you standing there
can't see you sitting down
I don't see a chair...
if saltwater comes around
I can keep it down
I can keep it down

Handouts
03:49
|

a fool knows which way the wind blows
knows which things the sun shows
when to walk and stand
a sign points him towards an exit
guides him past a stairwell
towards a high speed cage
we all just wanna be free
"if it could come to me"
a light burns out in the the train car
like the candle in his bedroom
a couple nights before
his keys are always in the same place
never on the table
never in the door
a home just needs to be clean
"if it would come to me"
a fool, sitting by the window
waiting for a phone call
a stone in his cold hand
If once, he'd only get a moment
only get handout
only catch a break
"if it would come to me"
"if it would come to me"

Paint Lake
04:29
|

near an airport in Winnipeg
rental cars in a vacant parking lot
crusted snow hangs from the door
I never seen an indian before
cut out of town and headed north
a line of trees like an ancient video game
melted rings on the sedan door
I never heard of "Heart of Gold" before
a pickup skidding across the ice
a seaplane hanging in a cold and rusted vice
frozen casts of fallen furs
I never been so bored in my life before
standing in a farmer's field
scared to death of my little sister's words
I saw the northern lights
I never seen the sky so bright before

Cyber Surfer Girl
02:51
|

cyber surfer girl
lives in a digital world
she never calls my phone
but she never leaves me alone
she only wants to talk to me
on Facebook or IRC
oh cyber surfer girl.
stone cold surfer girl
in a cross-post material world
she never speaks her mind
eyes forward on the prize
the only girl you'll ever meet
who keeps her read-receipts
oh cyber surfer girl
and everybody knows you better than before
it takes so little work to care
but every time I close my eyes and think of her
another sucker's always there
cyber surfer, surfer girl...

Judging Other People
02:03
|
|||
I'm sick of being disgusted
with every choice I make
staring at her neckline
trying to look away
sick of feeling helpless
so helpless I'd cry
instead getting wasted
doesn't work all the time
and judging other people
for the stupid things they do
and then getting angry
when I see it in me too
sick of my apartment
smoking pot to hide away
I'm not sick of playing music
I'll do that any day
