1, 2, 3, 4 Shit, I left ‘em stranded, by now could be dead I’m just a nail mocked by hammering heads If I’m gonna bail then they’ll be free falling cause there ain’t no reason To be spinning and hitting on gullible me We’re running and begging to senseless machines But if he’s got a smoke then it’s meant to be Take it in, let it out before you proceed Wipe ‘em clean, wipe ‘em clean Oh nicotine hallelujah It’s making me feel like I knew ya It’s everything that I do to Keep me sane Nicotine hallelujah It’s all that I can think to do to I keep wondering if it will do And keep me rolling Well shit, I could be running in marathon races Be singing and dancing in warm lit up places Be meeting and kissing the beautiful faces But I’m stuck here in bed ‘cause I’m lazy as fuck And all of my family is out of luck ‘Cause their daughter ain’t making the family buck She could be stupid or maybe just stuck But I know my way out, just today’s not a great day To move, and to do All the steps to forget I’m a fool So I’m so, I’m so screwed Huffin and puffin, we’re all out of luck Nicotine hallelujah It’s making me feel like I knew ya It’s everything that I do to Keep me sane Nicotine hallelujah It’s all that I can think to do to I keep wondering if it will do And keep me rolling But if it keeps me skinny and it keeps me strong So life ain’t draining from my skin and bones Or maybe delaying the need to move on And keeping me around for the armageddon Nicotine hallelujah It’s making me feel like I knew ya It’s everything that I do to Keep me sane Nicotine hallelujah It’s all that I can think to do to And I keep wondering if it will do And keep me rolling

I see it, I want it, it’s in my reach I know it, I got it, it’s up to me I feel it, the motion, it’s going But there’s something in the way A bit of broken soul Stepped on an open hole And down I go There’s something in the way A bit of aching heart Pierced by a poison dart And down I go God damn it, I had it, now where’s it gone? I search, I call, but it won’t come I stumbled, I fumbled, I killed the cat Now I’m crawling back But there’s something in the way A wall of painted glass I thought I’d make it past Turned out with gashes on my face There’s something in the way It’s saying not you, not today Don’t be crazy, you’re too fragile, too heavy, too lazy Oh-wah-oh Oh-wah-oh Oh-wah-oh Oh-wah-oh I knew it, I knew it, I knew it I knew it, I knew I couldn’t do it I knew it, I knew it, I knew it I knew it, I knew I couldn’t do it But there’s something in the way A bit of fighting fire A vestige of desire Oh shit, I can’t even give up right No, not today Still got a beating hope Still got a pulse, I know And I’ll run faster this time, here I go I want it, I want it, I want it I want it, I want it, I want it

Slack jawed lacking ambition This room is a void of confusion Time was always an illusion This we seem to forget Fear, fear, fear of the dead Fear, fear, fear of the dead Idle prophets in caskets Worms that are knocking at their doors Hungry insects with headstrong prospects Taking what you thought was yours Fear of what was there before Fear of what was there before Fear, fear, fear of the dead Fear, fear, fear of the dead Fear, fear, fear of the dead

Moonshine 02:55
Moonshine Brightest in my lifetime Keep shining on me And I’ll keep my eye to the sky Moonshine Lightening up that dark night Don’t leave me alone In this house You’re my home Lost and found Sitting on the window sill Gripping on that magic pill This heaviness that keeps me still Oh moon Moon Moon Moon Take me away No I can’t No longer No longer stay Unrequited Unexplained Unaccepted Oh moon Moon Moon Moon Take me away No I can’t No longer No longer stay Unrequited Unexplained Unaccepted Moonshine Brightest in my lifetime Keep shining on me Keep shining on me And I will owe you my life And I will owe you my life And I will owe you my life

4-7 Company 03:52
Take all my energy Let it out of me Let it breathe Take off the pageantry Hang it by the key For the hours in between And I am not as good, I am not as bad, I am not as sad I am not as good, I am not as bad, I am not as sad As I thought I’d be No one inviting me No one fighting me Only a silent divide Can’t quite yet drift away Got nowhere to be Take my consciousness inside And I am not as good, I am not as bad, I am not as sad I am not as good, I am not as bad, I am not as sad I am not as good, I am not as bad, I am not as sad As I thought I’d be I am not as good, I am not as bad, I am not as sad I am not as good, I am not as bad, I am not as sad I’m not as happy Then come the shivers Then come the ache Then come the critters Say I’m making a mistake Then come the worry Then come the fire Then come the madness And insatiable desire And then I feel it I nearly break Until I see it’s finally quarter past 8 And I am not as good, I am not as bad, I am not as sad I am not as good, I am not as bad, I am not as sad I am not as good, I am not as bad, I am not as sad As I thought I’d be I am not as good, I am not as bad, I am not as sad I am not as good, I am not as bad, I am not as sad I am not as good, I am not as bad, I am not as sad I think I’m happy Woo I think I’m happy, oh Keeping my own 4-7 company Keeping my own 4-7 company

The Withstanding Wonder

about

4-7 Company is about the hours between 4-7pm, after work and before the evening's festivies, when you're alone with your thoughts and anything can happen. It's a reflection on solitude, cycles, and relationship with self. Co-produced by Howard Redekopp and Päter in Nanaimo, BC.
