Jesus Christ 04:10
Jesus Christ shining red on the roof Greasy hair, converse and cab on the sidewalk Honeybee, rivers and blood won’t bring it back Rocks stand still, immutable so should you Remember, I put a riot in your heart And later, you put a shield in mine Mountains dance and trees sway through the storm Safe heaven you won’t find but within you Jesus Christ shining red on the roof The rain, the raindrops won’t even stop Remember, I put a riot in your heart And later, you put a shield in mine Remember,you were the glorious Panzon And later, it was Joy Division

Wolftime 04:57
Relentlessly, we run faster, we dig deeper and hallow out The train passes; we travel safe There’s lesser sleep, no lullabies Our western fate, their judging eyes The sunrise gap, look at it Day after day, it vanishes, choked by idleness I don’t want a blinker hood Deeper, younger, quicker Deeper goes in the lie we live Deeper, younger, quicker Relentlessly, we play it safe Wolves take control With composure and wine power Safely numb Unknowingly, I go to sleep Smothered and unaware Now I see with blood shot eyes We look but don’t realize Deeper goes in the lie we live Deeper, younger, quicker

Piper 03:37
Piper, loser, we couldn’t see your point of view Distant, dreamer, mistakes are going right on through Pretender, forgetful, couldn’t make the final call Constant, drifter, you turned into to a waterfall And you crawled your days away Convinced your heart to stray Words make no rules when it’s just me and you Piper, porous, the ground you stand on is making you stall Leaver, winner, walk on by and smile through it all And you crawled your days away Convinced your heart to stray Words make no rules when it’s just me and you

Lucio 03:49
Sit right back, don’t say a word It’s me you’re gonna see, knock you down to your knees You’ll shine like a star for a while Just before that scenes comes along and let me in Opens up and let us in Deep within the wall you hid A misfit with a dream Never looks like just the way it seems The seminary never had a chance Just another bridge built upon a dream with empty sins You could never believe in As you turn around and your father’s gone Should have known this time wouldn’t be the last To see where I stand in your organized mess Did I pass the test? Sit right back, don’t say a word It’s me you’re gonna see, knock you down to your knees You’ll shine like a star for a while Just before that scenes comes along and let me in Opens up and let us in As you turn around and your father’s gone Should have known this time wouldn’t be the last To see where I stand in your organized mess Did I pass the test?

about

The first demo offering by Montreal based We Once Were Trees began with two long-time friends meeting up Friday nights, piano and drums at hand, writing tunes about the people who crossed their lives. A voice with reason and groovy melodic bass runs complete a collaborative project drawing on each member’s musical influences.
