Ocean Song 05:34
Ocean Song You have an ocean in there, you-you have an ocean in there you have an o-ocean in there, you-you have an ocean in there you have an o-o, you have an ocean in there x2 You have an ocean in there. Did you know, were you aware? An ocean teaming with life and mystery I see - I - I see it Gleaming with the light of ancient suns Fathoms that I have only just begun to explore The more I see, the more I want to swim To dive into the depths of you, your waves of blue I’m sink - I’m sinking I’m sinking in and I’m going down Abandon air Please let me drown please let drown drown I’m sinking in and I’m going down Abandon air Please let me drown drown I’m sinking in Yes, behind your eyes lies an ocean, always in motion Storms breath and sigh, mist crawls, gulls cry above those waters Did you know that all of this is held in you? A restless dream in green and grey and blue Beneath these waves what treasures lay among the wreck of ships that came before Crashed, on shores of caves and sand Of cliffs and more commanding landscapes Could I begin to know? Would you show me? Should I brave these waves? For this ship is good but this wood on which I stand is fragile Glass really, or might as well be But I can and will if you stand there telling me its worth it So I admit that I sit with you and imagine If I put you to my ear I’ll hear the ocean To my cheek I’ll feel the cold To my lips I’ll taste the salt and exalt in what I find Yes, behind your eyes lies an ocean You have an ocean in there..... I'm sinking in.....

Rising 06:03
I am turning, no I’m not facing I won’t entertain these pointless conversations All my worries and my fears of when these allies disappear Are no longer strong enough to keep me here I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong C:​ Turn around to face the west The moon is rising in my chest And when the light is all but gone I’ll turn my back on all the rest I am walking, no I’m not waiting I am finished with this endless hesitating Tired of leaving it too late, by the time I’ve made my case The moss has grown over the stone, all the marks have been erased I am gone, I am gone, I am gone C: I am finished, no I don’t owe you Any leeway, any time or any patience Is this not what you expected when all the pretty birds had flown No sense waiting till tomorrow I can do this on my own I am done, I am done, I am done C: I am rising, I’m expanding I will sink into the earth on which I’m standing With my feet firm on the ground taking all the space around My voice stealing up the sound Once lost but now I’m found I’ll move on, I’ll move on, I’ll move on C:

White Moth 03:40
When I die I think I would like to come back As a white moth on the wing As I flutter by at dusk they will say What a beautiful, delicate thing Plain but beautiful, beautiful in my own right My wings they will glow like stars in the night When I die I think I would like to come back As a silver fish in the brook I’ll float through the current and into the deep Forward with no second look Silent and beautiful, beautiful and cold My scales they will shine bright like treasures untold When I die I think I would like to come back As a red fox in the wood I’ll run through the deadfall and lay down to rest In the roots where an ancient tree stood Wild and beautiful teeth sharp as a wire My fur will glint red like the coals of a fire When I die I think I would like to come back As a crow feathers black as the night Nothing to keep me held down to the ground Deliverance given in flight Free and beautiful no more shall I cry The earthly fears that haunt me here will fade as I fly

Now I Go 04:57
Now I go, now I go, tread carefully Now I go from this place to somewhere I’m free Less tension no mention and here I am free And there you are frozen the person you’ll be What a pity it is to stay grounded In a place that you never could grow What a pity but oh where I’ve landed I know things that you never will know Now I go, now I go, tread carefully Now I go from this place to somewhere I’m free Less tension no mention and here I am free And there you are frozen the person you’ll be What a pity it is not to wander To the places you never have known What a pity the ground that I’ve covered I have hurt but oh how I’ve grown Now I float above water 10 thousand feet deep Crawled up from the ocean And never grew weak And though I can’t swim The earth holds me still A promise to fill the bottom of your ship Now I go, now I go I’m on my way Now I go, now I go and I know you’ll stay With what you’ve created This reckless decay You’ll be here tomorrow but I’m on my way What a privilege it is to stay shrouded In this comforting veil that you sew Save your pity for what you’ve collected All the nothing that you’ve got to show What a pity it is to stay grounded In a place that you never could grow What a pity but oh where I’ve landed I know things that you never will know

about

"[could I] Begin to Know" is our very first EP. The title sums up the spirit of this album as well as recurring themes in our music. A sense of searching and longing, of discovering the unknown. Of exploring our world and the people it contains. Exploring ourselves; our thoughts, our feelings, our desires and our own limits. In a sense our music is the soundtrack to all the experiences that make us human, a journey we are excited to share with you.

about

Dumpster Cub Saint John, New Brunswick

Dumpster Cub began when two scrappy pals got tired of playing folk music, found just enough money to buy a groove box and discovered a love for pushing buttons! These cubs deliver lively folk-inspired vocals over rhythmic synth sounds. Their haunting harmonies will hypnotise to groovy beats while the cello hums underneath. ... more
