lyrics

Stay

Don’t tell me what I heard, will you deny the spoken word
Don’t try to twist the facts, I don’t think that’s too much to ask
Don’t tell me what I’ve seen, the view is fresh upon the screen
Don’t talk of their collusion, know the truth is not illusion

Stay, I want to talk about it
The thoughts of secrets past, sublime, divine yet still hold fast
Stay, I want to talk about it
Instilled with rising pressure, half the thrill for twice the measure
She knew the missing master, image faded, broken plaster

Don’t tell me how I felt when winter’s rage began to melt
Don’t think I heard the call, another shadow on the wall
Don’t tell me who was there when laughter’s bells did pierce the air
Don’t cross the other side to keep the faith and breed the lie

Stay, I want to talk about it
The thoughts of secrets past, sublime, divine yet still hold fast
Stay, I want to talk about it
Instilled with rising pressure, half the thrill for twice the measure
She knew the missing master, image faded, broken plaster

Don’t tell the sorted tale of shattered hearts that block the trail
Don’t feed the beast your burden, worlds collide beyond that curtain
Don’t talk of bygone days, before the doubt that brought the haze
Don’t mention we were one, the spell was cast, the die undone

Stay, I want to talk about it
The thoughts of secrets past, sublime, divine but still hold fast
Stay, I want to talk about it
Instilled with rising pressure, half the thrill for twice the measure
She knew the missing master, image faded, broken plaster

about

the balconvillains Montreal, Québec

Pan-genre…Omni-groove…
Not young…Not pretty…

Craft honed across two millennia, not the undead, the experienced.

The progeny of Montreal and the Age of Aquarius, chameleon transients in time and space, consumed and were consumed, frivolous, rhythmic, the voice of the common in the complexity of the mundane.
