needsmorerage Just discovered this album. I'm not typically a big shoegaze fan. Most new shoegaze bands use the genre as an excuse to not to craft well-written songs... not so for Wood Lake! Beneath the wash of distortion and noise are great lyrics/melodies. Favorite track: Sam McGee.

Juan Alvarez Great tracks! I hear a lot of great influences. These guys have a lot of potential. Can't wait to see how the rest of the album turns out. Favorite track: Head In The Sand.

Oceans 05:20
Ode to my woes My odyssey of oddities Where summer shimmer makes you high Where summer shivers cause she's shy They'll take your gentle years I'm bringing on the end It's easy now I can't pretend Flushed away in great big seas The oceans mean that much to me Love fades away Like shadows in the setting sun Drifting apart like ships at sea They're captive to the scenery She's blowing like the breeze I'm bringing on the end It's easy now I can't pretend Flushed away in great big seas The oceans mean that much to me

It ain't right When a line become your device It's all in the tone of the song In my hand I can make a pound from a gram Misleading, but is it so wrong? You'll relate And I'll have a verse in your tune But Iím not the only one there Give it time And the world will paint your mind A still life collage that's called you Hey it's me And it's you all you've pursued Collage Bittersweet You can see the old and the youth A still life collage that's called you Some would call it sad And some wouldn't understand But all in all they can't much expand past collage

Life ticks the time Takes you past prime Now your heads in the sand A count to the end From start it descends Till your heads in the sand The more it's revealed The less it's concealed Then your heads in the sand Times your ally Till you deny That your heads in the sand Leave you? can't deceive you wanna love you Wanna see you relate to Younger hunger Thick as thunder Gotta wonder the use Bending the rules Always be cool When your heads in the sand Stay above all Fall asleep tall When your heads in the sand Leave you? can't deceive you wanna love you Wanna see you relate to Younger hunger Thick as thunder Gotta wander to Leave you? can't deceive you wanna love you Wanna see you relate to Younger hunger Thick as thunder Gotta wonder the use Dim lights to me are bright when my head's stuck in the sand It's easy to sleep at night cause it's so dark in the sand

Madeline 03:45
Sweet Madeline Caring and kind It all feels so clear Autumn again Sweet summers end I'll spend it all with her Wasting away Day by day I'm still so secure Winter is near It brings me to tears Here I am with her Older and older The years can feel like days Like snow in springtime The time just melts away Hot sun of summer It shines for Madeline If we were younger We'd still want extra time

Easy Love 03:58
Easy love today Easy loves on it's way The writing on the wall The beauty of befallen nulls Easy love throws you away Living lore in life Cliche of two lovers strife Some can relate Some will slow and separate Easy love throws you away I cannot start to believe what they say Now easy love's on it's way I cannot start to believe what they say Now easy love's on it's way Living lore in life Cliche of two lovers strife Some can relate Some will slow and separate Easy love throws you away

Barrhaven 04:00
A bus stop in May Barrhaven's night's like a prison's day It's anti-extremes Heads full of nothing but little dreams Who would think That personality Can melt into the heat The chain gains a new link Dirt on the street Dirt on the building Where nothing's cheap The buses escape Heads down the corn row That leads away Who would think That personality Can melt from into the heat The chain gains a new link Once again Death toll is high Easy to fail when you do not try Wiz weed and rims Civics gather around the garbage bins Who would think That personality Can melt from into the heat The chain gains a new link

Sam McGee 05:05
Head my wise advice The stories are misleading Don't waste your time But your heart is set And you've caused the wounds you're treating Down in the mines Cold winds sweep the night And chills your southern bones Warmed by your blanket beer The prospect fades away But will can keep you going Till your hopes and dreams give in A fool and his life soon will part Ambitions as big as his heart Work to perfect his lost art But for every ounce of gold, there is a ton of stone. Won't rest easily Sam McGee Take your loss in stride It's all that's left to right you Don't feel misguided Good can't help you know The fevers cold and burning No one there to bury you A fool and his life soon will part Ambitions as big as his heart Work to perfect his lost art But for every ounce of gold, there is a ton of stone. Won't rest easily Sam McGee

Hollow 04:52
And I hear I hear the falling skies Then she sleeps within me And all her dreams they fill my eyes I feel nothing Am I happy? Am I bleeding from inside? No will, but I can feel you Hollow but sincere Novocaine The numb enthusing feign Then she breathes my words out And all my thoughts they then subside I feel nothing Am I happy? Am I bleeding from inside? No will, but I can feel you Hollow but sincere All my dreams Are swims upstream and helpless themes Dull colour schemes Shield my eyes From silver dyes and butterflies That fill the skies Light her sheen with gasoline Then shoot the scene For silver screens Groups of crows wonít let me go I think they know Apart we grow And I hear I hear the falling skies Then she sleeps within me And all her dreams they fill my eyes I feel something Am I crazy? Am I bleeding from inside? No will, but I feel something. There's something

Relax distorted eyes Gotta leave gotta cut some ties This ain't a long goodbye I'll keep it short Short on time, going somewhere Till the sun burns its name in the wind Till well’s are drawn, I’ll be gone Till the day lets the night absorb it's light I'll be within the out of sight Know a kiss today would bring back whatever I had lost Still along the way it seems what I had saw as snow was frost Take back that heart that used to comfort you alone Happy apart but I can't stomach two alone Too late I've got to go Streets to Roads, gonna flee leave me be The wheel keeps turning till The by and by, so goodbye anxious eyes Till the earth stops it's spin and breaks within Till days are long, I'll be gone Till the ends condemns the means it deems obscene I'll be reduced to dopamine Know a kiss today would bring back whatever I had lost Still along the way it seems what I had saw as snow was frost Take back that heart that used to comfort you alone Happy apart but I can't stomach two alone Take back that heart that used to comfort you alone Happy apart but I can't stomach two alone Sadness is art and art can make you feel alone Doomed from the start but I can't leave you two alone
