Wide-open eyes blinking sometimes Mouth gasping for air Isaac, why that awful stare? Well we are all animals sometimes But there’s nothing in this tragedy Except a history of Irony Worked to the bone man we all need a rest So wipe off that sweat man that blood off your chest Worked to the bone man we all need a rest So wipe off that sweat man That blood off your Get that blood off your ... chest Rolling around under blue skies That red vest’s looking worn Tattered by young matadors The colour of love hugs the fresh snow Well Isaac you should know Abraham does what he’s told Abraham does what he’s told Worked to the bone man we all need a rest So wipe off that sweat man that blood off your chest Worked to the bone man we all need a rest So wipe off that sweat man That blood off your Get that blood off your ... chest Worked to the bone man we all need a rest So wipe off that stress man that blood off your chest Worked to the bone man we all need a rest So wipe off that stress man That blood off your Get that blood off your Get that blood off your ... chest

I had a flask and a hand rolled cigarette My tongue was tied in a nicotine safety net I still remember everything you said I hope that you remember just a bit “You look really nice and how’s your boyfriend?” Why do I always say such stupid shit? He likes you some but I like you best A secret glance in half a pirouette I’m only bitter because I really care And I’m just glad that you were really there On the bedroom floor we drank local wines My veins filled with cum, you didn’t bat an eye We rolled a joint but didn’t have a light “It’s okay” I smiled, and said goodnight I walked home and stepped on every crack I covet love, I know I’ll never have I’ll never be content because I lack I’m not afraid of love, just to ask I’m only bitter because I really care And I’m just glad that you were really there I’m only bitter because I really care And I’m just glad that you were really there

In a polished life, you’re warned never to wane Hope the great stain, leads down a road called shame Like a wicked child, you grow beard on your face Your cheeks were rosy once, then you aged You pray to kings of carnivores You say“God please explain!” Why you built something sane Is so strange, it’s so strange You hope for something different so you look the other way But hope’s a rotten village, up a mountain made of hate You’re coddled or else abused, given love or else confused. You were called pretty once, then you grew You pray to kings of carnivores You say“God please explain!” Why you built something sane Is so strange, it’s so strange When you rise in the morning Getting up before dawn And the sun also rises Ever on and on and on When you rise in the morning Getting up before dawn And the sun also rises Ever on and on and on Ever on and on and on Ever on and on and on Ever on and on and on Ever on and on and on Ever on and on and on Ever on and on and on Ever on and on and on Ever on and on and on

I saw your face In a mongrel constellation Moon, star, plane … And patience Your countenance Was tattooed on the bed sheet With one Velcro hair The loneliest marquee And you were here To make everything glitter Until you left So I would yet remember Like there’s still sparks In my blood from when I met you And honey on My tongue from when I kissed you Like there’s still sparks In my blood when I undress you And honey on My hand when I caress you Now I am a child What a silly thing to be Obsessed over little things And always blundering And you are a child And what a lovely thing to be Your curious little feet Are always traveling And here, and there, and yet, and again And

about

Formalists Toronto, Ontario

Based in Toronto, Formalists are a progressive quartet with ties to the city’s classical and jazz communities. Their music combines alt-folk, indie, and western art influences, with a dual ambition to thrill and discomfort. At once elegant, and self-indulgent, Formalists share more then just a love of supine-grape eating with the hedonists of yore. ... more
