I’d like to take some time to lie in bed Help my mind stick around Sometimes it drowns itself just to see How far away it can get from the clouds It jets itself, propels itself into outer space The prettiest place Where the colours all make sounds From one dream to another Ride the slipstream From one dream to another Ride it, baby, yeah So let me sleep. Let me sleep by myself I swear half the shit I’m going through Is caused by everyone else Let me take some time to lay alone Alone with my thoughts Let me get back to myself From one dream to another Ride the slipstream From one dream to another Ride it, baby yeah

Flower 03:46
The pendulum swings, A countdown: Mortality. And when it rains, I hope you are not alone Not alone. You’re not alone. Not alone. Peppermint rain: it burns as it stains. And when it rains, I hope you are not alone. Not alone. You’re not alone. Not alone. You look to the sun when it’s shining And you run away when it’s raining When I come around you’ll be waiting When I come around, you’ll be waiting You’ll be waiting You’ll be waiting When are you gonna grow? When are you gonna grow? When are you gonna grow? You look to the sun when it’s shining And you run away when it’s raining When I come around you’ll be waiting When I come around, you’ll be waiting

The prettiest colour The prettiest colour Can't compare with your eyes The prettiest colour So look outside at the leaves, they fall with so much ease Just like the condition that I found myself in I dread the day that Fall dies and turns to frost Everything we meant to do turns into a memory held in secret songs In Autumn songs for secret lovers In Autumn songs for secret lovers In Autumn songs for all the things that we don't tell the others We don't tell the others

Rain 03:54
Looking through our limited eyesight Every time weblink we lose light Slightly more blind to the sun Surely more exposed to the bugs, in us. Are we really gonna hide from the rain? I’m pondering the infinite stars, The leviathan of lovers and the love that I have for them And I wonder which is gonna fall first The stars? Or the endless mess in us? So you better fall in love with rain Better fall in love with the rain. I’m glad you got caught out in the rain when you realized that you’d probably never see me again I bet it made you go ahead and think twice… but by then it was already way too late So you better fall in love with the rain You better fall in love with the rain The moment won’t last it’ll pass, it’ll become part of your past, You’ll look back and wish you had saturated yourself in all of it The moment last it’ll pass it’ll become part of your past, You’ll look back and wish you had saturated yourself in all of it. So you better fall in love with the rain.

I want to Walk down to the ocean and stand beside you I want to Be there when the sun is setting behind you I want to Chase your little footprints in the sand I want to Kiss your pretty lips just because I love you I wanna play this game Until I’m broke I wanna stay this way Until it gives me a stroke I want to, Walk down to the ocean and stand beside you So let’s build a bridge Where we can meet in the middle Down to the water is where we’ll go We’ll go I want to, Walk down to the ocean and stand beside you I want to, Be there when the sun is setting behind you I want to, Chase your little footprints in the sand

Just Enjoy 03:44
Just enjoy it, Just enjoy it in the meantime Just enjoy it, Just enjoy it in the meantime The moment won’t last, it’ll pass it’ll become part of your past You’ll look back and wish you had saturated yourself in all of it So just enjoy it, just enjoy it in the meantime Just enjoy it, just enjoy it in the meantime You’ll come across some punches on the way, Just keep your body loose, you’ll be okay You can ask me if I’ve ever told a lie, But the answer that you need is in my eye Justice. Just enjoy it, just enjoy it in the meantime Just enjoy it, just enjoy it in the meantime The moment won’t last, it’ll pass it’ll become part of your past You’ll look back and wish you had saturated yourself in all of it The moment won’t last, it’ll pass it’ll become part of your past You’ll look back and wish you had saturated yourself in all of it So you better fall In love with the rain

You bring the sound of the ocean, darling You bring the sound to life You bring the sound of the ocean, darling and it helps me sleep at night You bring the sound of the ocean, darling and you bring the sound to life And it helps calm the seas inside I remember the moment when hating everything became so very exhausting that I fell in love with the world There are monsters in the basement, They won’t get you if you close your eyes They hate it when the world is bright, So just run upstairs and turn on all your lights Chasing down a problem takes a certain type of grace The finesse of a tragedy is an awkward dance You bring the sound of the ocean, darling You bring the sound to life And it helps calms the seas inside I remember the moment when hating everything became so very exhausting that I fell in love with the world There are monsters in the basement, they won’t get you if you close your eyes They hate it when the world is bright, So just run upstairs and turn on all your lights Ripped jean heart, lipstick tastes of bitterness Sea salt skin, green-eyed look of innocence I remember the moment when hating everything became so very exhausting that I fell in love with the world There are monsters in the basement, they won’t get you if you close your eyes They hate it when the world is bright, We can walk under the street lights, darling, We can walk around with our heads held high Whatever happens tonight, is really none of our concern There’s something in my jacket sweetheart And there’s something sweet in my heart. Lovely comfortable girl

Little Crow 03:08
I understand that the wind is cold, Ice is forming on the tips of your wings My little crow. Come with me, rest your heartache next to mine Come with me, together we can fly, through our magenta sky Together we’ll be fine. She makes all the rules That get broken every time she meets a fool A temple, not to be forgotten A license to kill the things that happen to her Every time I see my little Crow she’ll know We will battle through the brutal winds when they blow Every time I see my little crow I will battle through the winds with her When they blow

Swell 03:32
My brother haven’t talked to you in months The stories trickle down through sour mouths The last thing I heard, you weren’t doing so well Extending my wishes can not bring you back from hell Let’s go back to the start Where the bad guys roamed about But they were no match for our guns We were home We were alone with our fun There’s power, There’s so much within It’s just being misguided by synthetic thrill Looking back, to the days of our youth I guess I always saw it coming for you Let’s go back to the start Where the bad guys roamed about But they were no match for our guns We were home We were alone with our fun I don’t know if I could ever go on If I were to receive that nasty phone call I’d wonder… Were your last minutes bad? Or did you waste away in that false heaven that you needed to have? Let’s go back to the start Where the bad guys roamed about Let’s bring the happiness to light Let’s give you a better chance at life.

He opens her up like a long-awaited love letter And reads her like a book He keeps her safe, like a lost manuscript The literature of love Ohh, they got through the suffering And walked out holding hands Holding hands, It feels bad, But so so good To be out of touch with the world It feels bad, But so so fucking good I don’t think they could ever go back So, they tried to stop the rain But it fell anyway They got through the suffering And stood up, in the end.

about

It was after a show at Vancouver's "Venue" club that producer Darren Grahn approached Matthew. They agreed to work together on what would become this LP's first recorded track, Comfortable Girl.

After 5 years in the making and a constant "lost & found" basket of rotating band members, Wax Theatrics released its self-titled album in November 2019.

This album celebrates love as the bonding agent that keeps us together through mental health struggles, vicious cycles, drug addiction, and our relationships' dualities.
