lyrics

I saw a stranger in the mirror
I don’t recognize myself some days
I wonder if I act my age
Even though I don’t think that it really matters anyway

On those days you feel like you’ve been
Caught in the wrong lane
Watching the other traffic go around you
The roads are crossing over, inside out
And no one’s gonna slow it down
Slow it down

I was digging through my dresser
I found a lot of tattered T-shirts
Oh why did I keep them for so long?
I clothe myself in figments of the past

On those days you feel like you’ve been
Caught in the wrong lane
Watching the other traffic go around you
The roads are crossing over, inside out
And non one’s gonna slow it down
Slow it down

I got a lot to say but I find it hard to relate to strangers sometimes
What language am I speaking anyway?
I’m feeling out of sync
But normal in my own way
In my own way

Are we afraid of monsters
The things we can’t contain
Not for what they are
But what we can’t explain

about

Sleepy and the Noise Ottawa, Ontario

Power trio composed of songwriter Christian Pasiak (vocals/guitar), Kira Montfort (drums) & Brian Dick (bass). Shortly after Brian joined in 2018, the debut album Fossils was laid to tape, featuring metaphor-rich songs about growing up in Canada, the fragility of memory, relationships, and health, and embracing a sense of humour & hope in what lies ahead and what's to become of us in trying times. ... more
