lyrics

MURMURATION

we sat for hours in conversation
with 'Drums and Wires' on the tape deck
through angel teeth, you said we'd judge the seeds by the harvest
you were eloquent, but I'm not content with only darkness
with only darkness

because this sound in my heart's a murmuration
and each synapse hums it's true translation
ideas and isotopes bleed radiation
as I'm guided by new chemicals, through neural constellations

now is the time
be wise to omens and falling skies
hold your head high, because you,
you should try,
you should at least try to climb,
at least try to climb

I've spent thirty years asleep, sailing secret oceans
but there comes a time, for an inside-revolution
I'm burning up at seven miles a second
and tearing up roots, hoping the truth will soothe,
with a deep and patient science

hold your head high
be wise to omens and falling skies
so look alive
because you, you should try
try to climb
help has arrived
be wise to omens and falling skies
now is the time, because you
you should try,
you should at least try to climb

I'll take my sorrow, I'll transform and I'll bend it to my will
into gold, lead, and iron, into a diamond nestled at the center of this shell
one day like a lion, one day to begin, to start again
Life's moving in circles
diving and swooping overhead

Better Living Through Chemistry Ottawa, Ontario

Better Living Through Chemistry are a straight up rock band, with clever lyrics and catchy hooks.

They have a bad case of broken strings, cracked cymbals, and buzzing mics. Schooled in the alternative music scene of the 80s and 90s, this band wears their influences (The Replacements, Faith No More, R.E.M., & Soul Asylum, (among many others) on their collective sleeves...like badges of honour. ... more
