[Verse 1]

One thousand stillborn thoughts

To cradle and hold

With my mother's hands

I'll place them on my chest and hope

For these empty winds to breathe

[Verse 2]

No, I won't rest

When there are houses to shape

Call out to these waters

Yes, you Great Lakes

Do I bury them with their names?

[Verse 3]

You cut me open

Just to see what's within

Clean up these organs

Wrap your words with my skin

[Verse 4]

I guess I'm just looking for a transplant lover

With infinite regrets

Someone who'll dance around matters

And sing of caskets

[Verse 5]

What do you say?

Now, what do you say?

It is a strange year and it appears

That I am stuck

[Chorus]

But I predict a graceful expulsion

I predict a graceful expulsion

I predict a graceful expulsion

I predict a graceful expulsion

[Verse 6]

Stranded in the North Sea

Yeah, a wild dream

Frantic city keep my warm, this fall

It's been a heavy year

[Bridge]

Bathurst, Spadina, St. George and Bay

Am I to condemn, the hands of darkness?

Now, tell it to the quiet fire of my blood

Tell it to the eager fever of my heart

Who will arrange the funeral?

[Chorus]

I predict a graceful expulsion

I predict a graceful expulsion

I predict a graceful expulsion

I predict a graceful expulsion

[Outro]

I predict a graceful expulsion

I predict a graceful expulsion
