Unstoppable 03:12
They said that this could happen They said that this could happen But I don’t really listen to the voices in my head I don’t really listen to them I listen to my heartbeat I dig into my guts deep Depending what I’m feeling when I’m reaching deep inside I might bury myself alive Ooh when I get that feeling, I’m unstoppable Building up inside me baby, ready to erupt If you’re along for the ride you’d better buckle up You’d better buckle up tight We’re burning up like a meteorite It shines brightly, the fire in the sky That stuff we shed when we are breaking through When we are breaking through, just watch me break it While I’m burning up, burning up, burning up Ooh when I get that feeling, I’m unstoppable Burning up across the night Breaking though, a meteorite Pieces fall, they’re shooting stars That’s the stuff, that’s the stuff That’s the stuff that dreams are made of baby That’s the stuff that dreams are made of baby Ooh, I got a feeling Uh huh, oh yeah, uh huh, oh yeah Ooh when I get that feeling, I’m unstoppable

I wanna feel good, I wanna feel good Got too much stuff on my plate Pressure is building up in my head And there’s something telling me it’s too late, it’s too late! Ooh, Ooh, Pressure’s building, pressure’s building Ooh, Ooh, Pressure’s building, pressure’s building I wanna feel good, I wanna feel good My insides all tied in a knot Pressure is building deep in my guts And I try to turn it off but I can’t turn it off! Oooh, Pressure’s building, pressure’s building Oooh, Pressure’s building, pressure’s building Oooh, bet I know how I can fix it Oooh, bet I know how I can fix it Just one more that’s all I need and then I’m going home And then I’m going home Hey boy come stand next to me, I wanna take you home I wanna take you home I just need some sweet release, I’m never going home, never going home I just need some sweet release, I’m never going home, never going home I wanna feel good I wanna feel good Take a break to clear out my head This pressure will kill me slowly and painfully I never meant to be dead dead Dead DEAD! Oooh, Pressure’s building, pressure’s building (Oooh, bet I know how I can fix it) Oooh, Pressure’s building, pressure’s building (Oooh, bet I know how I can fix it) Just one more that’s all I need and then I’m going home And then I’m going home Hey boy come stand next to me, I wanna take you home I wanna take you home I just need some sweet release, I’m never going home, never going home I just need some sweet release, I’m never going home, never going home

M-m-m-mixed blood girls Makes white people happy to tell me that they like my tan But this is the same skin That my mama met me in Been a brown baby all my life Til some buddy called me white My mama’s white, I’ve never been Don’t tell me about the skin I’m in I’m brown in the sun And I’m brown in the shade As a girl I’ve heard it all “Too pretty” to be NDN I’m brown in the sun And I’m brown in the shade As a girl it’s hard to know Who am I? What am I anyways? M-m-m-mixed blood girls I didn’t live on the rez I lived on stories instead My papa kept the trauma from my sleeping head Aunties uncles all dead Can’t find my cousins anywhere From what I’ve heard they’re not doing good What a fucked up feeling, oooooh What a fucked up feeling, oooooh Generations of pain Got privilege all the same Dark exotic interesting NDN? You weren’t expecting Brown in the sun And I’m brown in the shade As a girl I’ve heard it all “Too pretty” to be NDN What a fucked up feeling, oooooh What a fucked up feeling, oooooh What a fucked up feeling, oooooh What a fucked up feeling, oooooh M-m-m-mixed blood

I Want Fire 02:44
Gets so dark deeper we go Tunnel vision before we know it Drifting further off alone Reach for me you’re getting warmer... We used to keep each other up all night Two kids falling for each other No we couldn’t get enough Lately it seems We’d rather do other things What happened to our tunnel of love I want Fire Now you know No you don’t make me repeat myself We sit on the couch And we stare at the screen Someone else tells us what everything means I don’t know about you But I can’t live like this Baby we need to feed the fire Then we burn it all down I want Fire Now you know No you don’t make me repeat myself Hey! Hey! Don’t you wanna light it up Light it up? Hey! Hey! Don’t you wanna light it up Light it up? It’s simple it’s easy I love you, come get me The embers’ still hot Yeah they burn in the dark And we got a moment Just us and it’s so good I see your fire goin’ So baby light me up! I want Fire Now you know No you don’t make me repeat myself

I tried to do this on my own Tried to do it without breaking myself, oh I did what they all told me to Now I’m done, now I’m not waiting for you I had a dream that I was getting old Lines on my face my tits were hanging low So low I’ve given it everything that I had to give Like money, like patience, now it’s wearing thin Can’t put a price on love, baby You know I’d give it again, guess what- I don’t care, I don’t care, I don’t care If I’m just lying to myself I love the sound of the bass vibrating under my shoes I love the smell of the stage, guess what, I love you Can’t put a price on love, baby I’ll say it again, guess what- I don’t care, I don’t care, I don’t care If I’m just lying to myself I had a dream that I was too old Lines on my face, my tits were too low It’s kind of crazy still feels real though I took too long to make a real go I used to care what you think! I used to care what you think! I used to care what you think! I used to care now I don’t care! I don’t care, I don’t care, I don’t care If I’m just lying to myself I don’t care, I don’t care, I don’t care If I’m just lying to myself Go ahead, write me off, do your worst I’ll just do it all again I don’t care, I don’t care, I don’t care Sisters are doin’ it for themselves

SOS 02:32
Im writing in the sand, sos, baby Can’t see anymore land just open sea Makes me sick like im a fraud Got me shook like how can i even stand to stand at all Ive been called a lot of things much larger i am Given ranks that im not sure i earned i earned i earned No one likes a second guesser, a wallow in their mess-er Who stands in the sand to sink Stands in the sand to sink! Nothing to do but look around, think about how it is i found Myself a liar and a cheat, too good for anything That’s how it starts, a heart turns hard, and it’s weighing me down Im sinking where i stand Im sinking where i stand! Take one thing to a desert island Take one thing to waste (spend?) My time It could be cute, to say you It would be cute, to say you Swallow my pride while i’m sinking I’m writing sos, baby Writing SOS baby Too good for anything,that’s how it starts, A heart turns hard, and it’s weighing me down Im sinking where i stand Im sinking where i stand!

If I have to spend One more minute With you my head’s gonna explode! You can wipe my brains off of the wall! Oh yeah You’re the first thing I see in the morning And then in the evening When I should be sleeping Instead my head’s gonna explode! You can wipe my brain off of the wall! Tell my mom I’m sorry I didn’t call more! I know it’s not your fault, can’t even stand the sound of my own voice! We’re locked down, ooh I’m bored as hell of listening to you say You’re not having fun Well I’m not having any fun! Instead my head’s gonna explode! You can wipe my brains off of the wall! Tell my mom I’m sorry I didn’t call more! I know it’s not your fault, can’t even stand the sound of my own voice! (Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah) My own voice (Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah) My own voice I just need four hours to myself to do what I want to do Isn’t there something else that you want to do? I can’t turn on the TV today Why are you still talking to the screen? Why don’t you just say what you mean? I don’t understand how you think We were never meant to be alone for this long together We were never meant to be alone for this long together! We’re locked down, ooh I’m bored as hell of listening to you say You’re not having fun Well I’m not having any fun! My head’s gonna explode! You can wipe my brain off of the wall! Tell my mom I’m sorry I didn’t call more! I know it’s not your fault, can’t even stand the sound of my own voice! (Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah) My own voice (Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah) My own voice (Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah) My own voice (Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah) My own voice

about

Singles EP is produced by Leeroy Stagger, and the last session recorded in his Lethbridge studio - The Rebeltone Ranch. Expected to reign in Miesha & The Spanks, to clean up the noise for crisp, polished songs, Stagger, visited by the ghost of punk rock past, instead turned it up (way up), and imbued their crunchy mono-guitar sound with extra doses of fuzz and feedback. Expected to get your blood pumping.
