about

I wrote this song while riding my bike to and from work in the summer of 2020. It's dedicated to Alberta.

lyrics

Dancing by the light of the refinery
Let the burnoff eat the flame
Betting our future in a fantasy
Our lives for someone's gain

Empty roads
Nowhere left to go
We keep on driving
Aimless wandering

Look outside
Where mountains used to stand
Where empty pits remain
Empty’s in demand

Take and take and don’t you dare ask why

Dancing by the light of the refinery
Let the burnoff eat the flame
Money in the place of missing memories
Our lives for someone's gain

Built a home
But didn’t want to pay
We set it up on sand
Watched it wash away
The world burns
Brighter every day
It’s slipping through out hands
What else could we say?

Left with nothing after all we’ve had

Dancing by the light of the refinery
Let the burnoff eat the flame
Betting our future in a fantasy
Our lives for someone's gain
