about

Recorded live at Theatre Outremont in Montreal during the album release show of November 2019. It was a big ol band including the Warhol Dervish String Quartet who played a beautiful improvisation at the start of the song

lyrics

Are we always looking out for something new?
Better to move on before the stillness catches you.
In the start we just start out for show, only given time can we appreciate what for

It was time for it to go
It was time, but it wouldn’t

With resistance I show out what is not in, asking eyes demand that I should share the same as them.
Do honesty and numbness hold no reason for this crowd?
Well does that mean to say we shouldn’t show them?

It was time for it to go
It was time, but it wouldn’t

Save it for a time when we can speak without restraint, balled up there you hold it just so tight that it’s not safe.
Sliding into fantasy to still a floor that shakes, we all know we would rather it was any other way

It was on the mind of all that minded we were there, the absence of a meaning didn’t mean we couldn’t care
When honesty and numbness hold no reason for this crowd, you called it right to say that we should show them

It was time for it to go
It was time, but it wouldn’t…
