CANDU by The Rural Alberta Advantage Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Tether your hopes, on a city full of ghosts
You are all alone under Uranium City lights
As you screamed, through the Mezzanine
Waking up I know its hard to fill the hole with a dream

[Pre-Chorus]
I know the vandals won't strike twice
While there's bodies there in the mines
I know the tailings build the roads
I hope the radiations low

[Chorus]
All these terrible decisions coming on
Are they coming for us or not?

[Verse 2]
Inside of me the poison screams
Running out of time to find the space and the need
I know its hard to negotiate the dream
[Pre-Chorus]
I know you're working in the cold
Still got your father's eye in your skull
After the mines they all closed
You found your father in the snow

[Chorus]
All these terrible decisions we forgot
Are they coming for us or not?

[Verse 3]
I want to give it time, grow up alone
Called from the mountain top
You said, "all that's left are tableaus"
Maybe it's a matter of time
Back on the on the edge of an open pit mine
Maybe it's all working out
Never thought I'd be the one embracing the doubts
I know its hard to negotiate the dream
Maybe I can hear you scream

[Outro]
I know its hard to negotiate the dream
Maybe I can hear you scream
