Smoked one, knocked out and dreamed you Flew back from Tokyo and seen you Check for me when the sun go down Play checkers on the ground, jump me so I queen you I've been praying you for so long Too long for us to further prolong Too long for us to move slow, hold on Too long for us to only kick it like Solange Lay here, stay here, impose Mi casa, mi tiempo, it's yours You stay killing the game, I wear black So there's that [Chorus] It's my fault, I never held onto a love cause it's grown so tired I guess it came and went like the money spent, we're building a fire Keep each other warm until we grow cold And change our desires Change our desires Keep each other warm until we grow cold And change our desires Keep each other warm until we grow cold And change our desires Smoked out in my room, babe, waiting on a sign Our love is like a movie reel burning in the fire I think Quentin got it right though, mixing revenge with desire The credits start to roll and the crowd starts to exit In the theatre we're alone, the only bodies present We're in our favourite movie but we hate the fucking ending [Chorus] I got a little restless but your name is on the tip of my tongue I don't wanna stress this but I may be the only one Who makes you feel good, baby Blown out of proportion, our love is like a ticking bomb Give it another minute and I think it will go off What's the point of monogamy if you're never really happy With the one you love? [Chorus] Smoked one, knocked out and dreamed you Flew back from Tokyo and seen you Check for me when the sun go down Play checkers on the ground, jump me so I queen you I've been praying you for so long Too long for us to further prolong Too long for us to move slow, hold on Too long for us to only kick it like Solange Lay here, stay here, impose Mi casa, mi tiempo, it's yours You stay killing the game, I wear black So there's that

I keep on coming and coming like I'm not going away But I keep on frontin' and frontin' like I got something to say Yeah I am hungry so hungry but you made me lose my taste Oh yeah I'm losing my taste for all the rules you create You think I'm crazy but baby I'm just so lazy in thought My mind's been hazy lately from being up in smoke You think that this is a joke? Well, let me tell you what's funny For us I have no hope, no kind words will come from me Ah ah ah ah ah ah There aren't any words that I can use to say How ah ah ah ow How much I hate your troubled standards I don't know if you've noticed, but I've been here for a while Yeah I've been losing my focus from back-and-forth at the bar While sitting and drinking I'm thinking of taking you home I'm thinking of taking you home like I did once before You make your way to the bathroom while I make mine for the exit You go and bring up the past while I am stuck in the present So you've got a boyfriend, oh maybe that's what you'll tell me But when I had a girlfriend I guess the rules were different Ah ah ah ah ah ah There aren't any words that I can use to say How ah ah ah ow How much I hate your troubled standards Ah ah ah ah ah ah There aren't any words that I can use to say How ah ah ah ow How much I hate your troubled standards I keep on coming and coming I keep on coming and coming I think I'm coming, I'm going I think I'm leaving you baby I think I... Sitting in the corner of the bar piss drunk sipping Piston Forget every lesson learned and note-passing classes This blackboard mindset isn't all it's chalked up to be Til the dust settles, I'll make mountains out of shot glasses Grip the bottleneck and lose grip as I bottleneck with fogged up beer goggles I smash feelings with bottles Barstool ridden, reality hidden from this debacle Listen, I'm just trying to find my axis An X across from me with an ever present Y Wondering why I wasn't a more persistent guy When damp thoughts cloud the sky and these hops get me by And false hopes merely fly overhead just to die I lay myself down as a daisy to dog piss And hope your crash landing results in some benefit like: We'll look back and laugh just for the hell of it Give it a sec for the alcohol content to settle in Uncertain self betterment, I wanna feel content again drop what's irrelevant in this tenement Pay no mind to scribble bathroom stall philosophies Though it's the only escape from dive bar cacophonies and empty apologies I am not an anomaly, I present a dichotomy but not out of dishonesty I just promise Not to ever wonder what it would have been like if neither of us let each other inside Forget pride after all the inside games from the toil and the foiled masquerade And it all begins to fade when I subvert the cliché I take this Piston to my lips like a pistol Loaded barrel full of past tense clear as crystal I take this Piston to my lips like a pistol Loaded barrel, past tense, crystal

I am your photographer, Polaroids give me mental pictures Of us just in my room, we were shedding our skin I want to begin again somewhere near the end And though I picture your face, you're at your friend's house filled with rage And as the bulbs flash, you are in the spotlight You're caught in my eyes, hammered in my head Images cloud up the dreams I've given up With us just tangled in the shades Now you're a memory, a vivid history, a reoccurring dream Where did she come from? Where did she go? Back to her friend's house where she told me "no" It's hard to say goodbye With all you've ever wanted With all your precious time It's hard to say goodbye With all you've ever wanted With all your wasted time

I woke from my sleep, the sheets tangled at my feet This old sweater grips my skin How many nights has it been? I pray you run I pray you run You taught me right from wrong when I am prone to right In the backseat of your car hiding in the night I pray you run I pray you run I saw you just laying there, you were praying in your sleep I heard what you were saying, you were praying for me And I don't know what that means Things you've always wanted but got stuck in between You wanted right and wrong, singing these same sad songs On the car rides home, you'll never want to be alone No you won't You want to drive away very far You'll never want to be alone, no you won't You want to drive away very far You are in the backseat while you're staring at me Look into the rearview mirror While you're in the backseat, while you're staring at me Look into the rearview mirror

about

Morakoza Mississauga, Ontario

The band consists of Dragan Maricic (vocals, guitars), Matt Vultaggio (guitars, backing vocals), Lukas Witmer (drums/sampler), and Phil Witmer (bass, keyboards).
