We choke on words we preach
We choke on words we preach through lips that quiver softly
A frightened waste of thoughts and truths we never could speak
Break stride, live right, take all your people with you
Shine light, so bright, those shadows fall before you
Life, hope, time – all the things that we’ve been given
Heart, guts, fight – all the things that we’ve been missing
We change when we seek peace
We change when we seek peace through crimes of former glory
A make-shift core belief of lies we never could speak
Get high, take flight, smash through what’s made to measure
Set mind, in line, with what you really need to
Life, hope, time – all the things that we’ve been given
Heart, guts, fight – all the things that we’ve been missing
All awake from pressure – all arrive with pride
All abuse we sever – all alive we cry
Life, hope, time – all the things that we’ve been given
Heart, guts, fight – all the things that we’ve been missing

Today – we stand our ground
For the hearts and minds of those that won’t stand down
We change – for no one
So the writing on the wall stays red for none – for none
The war is over – dead bodies stacked on lies they told us
The end is coming – we rise when we fall
Tonight – we hang our heads
With a shiver cold from those we can not hear
We break – for no one
So the flowers on the graves stay still for none – for none
The war is over – dead bodies stacked on lies they told us
The end is coming – we rise when we fall
To tell the truth, never thought I’d be here
The air is sweeter now that the smoked has cleared
To tell a lie, never thought I’d survive
But light will always shine
We waste our life – we fight with time
We choke our needs – with hands of greed
We lose our minds – we lash out blind
We can’t speak up – we can’t breathe in
We can’t breathe in, we can’t breathe in, we can’t breathe in

This I Know

Stones bloody bones with no concern for why they’re thrown
Hate is hate, love is love, life is life – This I Know
Sunny days shine brighter still when all our cups are full
Seize the day, all is well, be here now – This I Know
Stop the hate they spin – make amends for it
Say to hell with it – and take the long way home
Mouths full of broken glass can’t swallow patience whole
Lose yourself, laugh again, lead the way – This I Know
Say what you mean, mean what you say and stay the course
Work it out, speak your mind, be the change – This I Know
Take time, breath, reach out – hold your ground
Make time, reach, hold on – give yourself
(Take. The. Long. Way. Home)
Take time, breath, reach out – hold your ground
Make time, reach, hold on – give yourself
(Take. The. Long. Way. Home)

We won’t forget it – how it felt
Was never meant to – be so good
Broke through the silence – within our doubts
There for each other – there for the cause
Never knew what we wanted, but oh no, we were never lost
Through thick and thin we ruled the world alright from Brewster Drive
Had nothing but each other, it was the world with us on top
Through thick and thin we ruled the world alright from Brewster Drive
So cold already – memory fires
Lit with aggression – burned with desire
Safe in our haven – strength in ourselves
Built to protect us – can’t tear it down
Never knew what we wanted, but oh no, we were never lost
Through thick and thin we ruled the world alright from Brewster Drive
Had nothing but each other, it was the world with us on top
Through thick and thin we ruled the world alright from Brewster Drive
Times come and go but we leave our impression
Times come and go but we take inspiration
Alone, we grieve the days we take for granted
Today, we stand on grounds we shook together
Never knew what we wanted, but oh no, we were never lost
Through thick and thin we ruled the world alright from Brewster Drive
Had nothing but each other, it was the world with us on top
Through thick and thin we ruled the world alright from Brewster Drive
Thank you for being there – Thank you for being there - Thank you for being here

We Died Here

That two-car garage packed from floor to ceiling and wall to wall
Stacks of boxes on those shelves you installed
But loaded light with shallow desires of deeper pockets
There’s nothing of substance here they cried
As you divert your gaze to avoid their eyes
But that’s alright, that’s alright
Cause you can’t see them anymore – see them anymore
That flooded basement won’t dry – not in a thousand years
Things float down there, not weighed down by honour or guilt
It’s just a matter of time until someone drowns there
We can’t fix these leaks without hate
You can’t lose your pride to think straight
You can’t love, you can’t love
Love these ghosts anymore – ghosts anymore
Don’t be afraid – we died here – we don’t live here anymore
You walk down that dimly lit hall
Where those crooked pictures fell when you put your fist through the wall
The attic ladder’s missing more than a few rungs
And the draft from the door still reeks of carnal failings
We don’t forgive you they hissed in disguise
As you crash to your knees and rake blood from the sky
But that’s just it, that’s just it
We can’t bleed anymore – bleed anymore
Don’t be afraid – we died here – we don’t live here anymore
Convictions - your last rites
Ring cold and keep us forever
Eviction – of past life
Can’t break the bond not forgiven
Destruction – of all lies

BOSSES Vancouver, British Columbia
Shaped by friendships forged in Vancouver BC’s notorious Punk Rock community, BOSSES pays homage to the kind of loud,
shouty, and sweaty sounds you’d expect to hear emanating from your favourite East-Van watering hole.
A signature that sound flirts heavily with punk rock, and borrows plenty from a wide spectrum of other “brash” guitar-based kinks.
