about

I watched a documentary about an Native Indian woman living in the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver. Her past was a broken webbing of abuse of substance abuse. Her father had molested her, and upon running away from the interior of B.C., and after finding herself on Hastings, she began to dress as a man, by way of survival and a means of protection from the real possibility of more abuse.

lyrics

‘Boy’


Hey boy
With the ex-ex in your vines
Don’t we all sleep so long to dream
Flashbacks of the animal cage
Flickers of the candle flame
Hey boy
Escape

Hey boy
Don’t we all dream of an accolade?
Donning masks, suture the curious skin
As the light reflects off of the sea
Refracting off the lens in your eye
Hey boy
No pain

And it’s

Deeper than his hands could go
Deeper than his hands could
Deeper than the sands of time
Sleeper in the alleyway

Deeper than you’ll ever know
Deeper than you’ll ever show
Doesn’t drain the hurt from you
Tougher than any boy I know

Hey boy
There you stand in the dirty downward sign
Blows a kiss to wrap it around the night
Shoulders out hard like this
Rigid fists crack out like that
Hey boy
No shame

Hey boy
Light a cigarette in the wind
Sucking flames to hold the warmth within
Your hidden love with soar and breathe
Becoming all you’ll ever need
Hey boy
Remain

And it’s

Deeper than his hands could go
Deeper than his hands could
Deeper than the sands of time
Sleeper in the alleyway

Deeper than you’ll ever know
Deeper than you’ll ever show
Doesn’t drain the hurt from you
Tougher than any boy I know
