1.
Hey up there / do you see me? / way down here / at my rock bottom / took the bad road / avoided the signs / ...and the advice / now I'm growing my fingernails long / to dig my way out / now I'm growing my fingernails long / to dig my way out / and everyone is angry / that I've nothing to give / talk behind my back / bout how stupid I've been / ... and for every winner / theres gonna be / someone / to lose it all / oh it's a pity / you're so ashamed / just look away / I've heard enough / I told you so's / it is what it is / lets call it consequence
2.
Sacrifices / that you've made / caused by a / selfless agenda / so I've been told ... you can't escape what is home / just so you know / it's never too late to hope / I've never felt so alive / I've never felt so deprived / when your mistakes become mine apologies can never compete / with respect you're owed and have yet to recieve / I'm aware that I was ignorant / what I wouldn't give to go back / so many harmful thoughts to retract
3.
Fill me in / I wanna know / Fill me in. I wanna know whats making you so sure that you can say forever you and I both know people's feelings change so how can you be so sure to say forever to claim forever don't get me wrong .. I'm so happy for.. you both don't get me wrong but fill me in I gotta know whats making you so sure I think I think you're brave and optimistic todays the day I think you're brave.
4.
Bended knee / nine years old / waitin' for.../ just one word! I was thinkin' of all the things / my daddy told me of sin and salvation and / manhood and dignity... all that time / in the dark / just one word...backslider! I remember the day I stepped / into the water my daddy held me in his hands / and pushed my head under / and said... son I am / so proud. / just one word...backslider! well I opened my eyes / and my daddy held me in his hands I looked up through the water / and thought I saw Jesus, and then... well I threw up my hands! and I heard, Amen! / and I prayed, sweet Jesus don't let me become a backslider!
5.
Wondering if you thought twice / about anything in your life wondering if you thought twice / about anything in your life did you think news wouldnt' reach my ears? i'm educated and my resources / are nearly unlimited you said you've got yourself a ghost far fetched imagination you must have / to think that I'd be had I'm amused / it's clear! .. neglect was a factor in the courtroom's decision making process I ... I wont deny / I ... I dropped the dime and if I had a dollar / I'd do it ten more times drop off the face of the earth / I wont lose sleep at night

about

Canyons is four guys Loud amps and ooh that smell.
Rufus is the party.
Since day one of the CanyonsHouse house shows, Rufus has mingled with touring bands from all over and we've all had a blast.
We wanted to immortalize Rufus in song. So we did. We are in the middle of some projects and realized we had songs we still play live that never saw a real release.
If anything we've written so far deserves a single... it's Rufus.
That being decided we picked two songs to cover to throw with the old and new songs then visited UTG studios on Halloween.
The purpose of this ep is to raise Rufus Robinson awareness. That and to let people know Canyons wants to party.
