When where you are's not where you wanna be, You've got a choice to make. It's fight or flight, this is your life, So make it quick. Every breath you take will be a breath you wish you'd take back from yourself So make a choice, and make it quick. Maybe if I never leave the ground, then I'll never fall. Maybe if I never leave the ground, then I'll never fall. When where you are's not where you wanna be, You've got a choice to make. It's fight or flight, this is your life, So make it quick. Every breath you take will be a breath you wish you'd take back from yourself So make a choice, and make it quick. Wake up, wake up The sea is spilling over Wake up, wake up These walls won't serve as shelter With it falling all around We stand solid on this ground 'cause here's where we want to be.

A slab of rock in the ground, Covered by a blanket that never lets me down My life's just words in stone. It's not just the end that rhymes, Even though you try, you'll forget me every time My life's just words in song. WHOA OH! When everyone I love is gone, Where is there left to go? Everyone I love is going home Everybody's looking for something Everybody's looking for somewhere to die A toast among old friends, Talk about good times, but don't talk about the end My life's just thoughts in your head. A whisper on your breath, Everything I ever was comes down to this, A letter on your wrist.

Uniforms 04:48
He was standing on the edge, waiting for a chance to sleep Neck and neck with our dreaming brothers But it's so far down, and I'm shaking at the thought of being Lost before I hit the ground We found our new holes to hide in But those dogs still have wind of our scent And once the frost covers our heads We'll be better off left with the dead I'm praying that we make it past this biting cold, all these devils nipping at our toes We'll pick up our bones, pick up our bones and run for our lives. Pull the trigger, we'll haunt you that much quicker. Standing rank and file, our hearts in prayer They turn our names to numbers here Standing hand in hand with bloodsoaked tears Their spiteful hands bring us to our knees This is not revenge, and this is not from hate This is in justice, and it's only the beginning You just did as you were told, but your uniform is woven bone God will have the last word We're calling you out.

Braid 03:16
So the story goes, I'm still living with your ghost I'm pressing on, this won't be a regretful song My hands are filled with only good intentions I'm saving the best for you You're everywhere I want you to be You're everywhere waiting with me Maybe I'm selling myself too short With the change I've been given, But this box of memories is telling me, there's no where else I'd rather be Than here in the car, just counting the stars in the sky BA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA!

Close your eyes, ignore your head Just hear your heart instead When you're gone, your heart undone Say you loved until the end You breathe this life into my heart, Your love, it's really got me going And I'm starting to feel I'd fall without you beside me. So let's love until we can't, Accept the roles we're cast, Believe that we can, And we can. So let's love until we're dead, Stay where our hearts have bled, Where you're at is where it's led, And everything's alright. Everything's alright. Baby don't go, cause I'll fall. Baby don't go, baby don't go!

about

"Individually, the members of Cera (Jamie Bell, Ryan Goertzen, Gordon Price and Justin Arding) have made just about every kind of music imaginable. Collectively, they create tightly crafted rock songs that have won them a large following in Prince George and beyond.

The greatest challenge with this EP is translating their infectious live show into a recorded project. Fortunately, they more than meet this goal, most triumphantly on “Braid,” recorded at Third (the venue) with fans providing gang vocals. These are songs designed for a high-energy live set, not adapted for them."

-Andrew Kurjata, Station Manager of CFUR, for "The Scene"
