Burn the Map 04:20
You're content and busy, I'm busy and bored 
 and I'm threatened by all these possessions I hoard
 Kick it all to the curb, I don't want it no more 
I don't want it no more, I don't want it no more 
Quit you're job, quit you're job, and let's go kick rocks
 Bring the dog, bring the dog, and a clean pair of socks 
Let me out, get me out, get me out of this box
 Get me out of this box, get me out of this box

 We're bound by these tides, back and forth home and back again 
Wait let's rewind, can't we play this part again
 Ebb and flow, come and go, hit the road, where is home 
I don't know, anymore

 Your safety isn't real, I know that you feel it 
You're just biding you're time, you know I'm still healing 
 We've both had enough rest and I've caught my breath
 and this is not a test, no this is not a test 
Take a risk, take a chance 
Let's move into a van 
Burn the map, burn the map
 We'll craft a secret plan
 Sell your stuff, sell your stuff
 We've got more than enough, we've got more than enough
 We've got more than enough 

 We're bound by these tides, back and forth home and back again 
Wait let's rewind, can't we play this part again 
Ebb and flow, come and go, hit the road, where is home 
I don't know, anymore

 Take a knife to the tedium of this routine
s Spit it up, spit it out
 Don't choke on your ennui
 There's a creature a-sleepin' down inside of me
 Wake it up, wake it up
let it loose, set it free 
Stir the pot feed the fire, concede your desire
 Realize your intent, tell me what you require 
Let it simmer and stew, I won't give up on you 
I won't give up on you, I won't give up on you

 We're bound by these tides, back and forth home and back again
 Wait let's rewind, can't we play this part again 
Ebb and flow, come and go, hit the road, where is home 
I don't know, anymore

Down With It 04:17
Coulda sold my soul for a couple of bucks And not feeling like I'm down on my luck all the time But where's the fun in not hating wasting All of your time and your life working a nine to five You're either in or you're out Or you're up or you're down Or you're flat on your face Sometimes I feel like shit For clinging to a structure that takes everyone down with it The faster it falls, the harder you grip Haven't worked a dime in well over a year And hell I gotta say it makes no difference With every kick down you make and every purchase Keeps on spinning the wheel they got it locked down real perfect Free to do what you want Yeah free to sit on yer ass and pretend Like what yer doing's much better Sometimes I feel like shit For clinging to a structure that takes everyone down with it The faster it falls, the harder you grip You could work your way up or you could make it To the top of the ladder what you're doing don't matter Don't take control of your life cuz you could give it up To somebody else who'd get to use it much better Yer only worth what you make For a reason you hate and there ain't no escape Sometimes I feel like shit For clinging to a structure that takes everyone down with it The faster it falls, the harder you grip

about

Broken Glass Kids Toronto, Ontario

Broken Glass Kids are a folk-punk duo based out of Toronto. They sing songs about cabins, running in one direction or the other, and the kind of boredom that only the suburbs can ignite. Both members have musical projects of their own, but when they create music together the product is greater than the sum of it's parts. ... more
