DUSTMITE (Conant) Well I am a dust mite with no bed to roam And I might just die next time the wind comes to blow It’s rocky and freezing and I’m all alone Would you give up your hygiene to leave me my home? And I am an ant so please step on my hill And there's so much of me so you’ll see me still It’s fun but you don’t see how I’m left alone Would you never change a thing to leave me my home? Oh darling if I was a star you’d look up at me And I would look back to you We’d never change anything So bring all your blankets cause heaven is high And hold yourself sitting all on top of the sky It’s cold and I know where clouds cannot climb Would you make all your breathing to pump and inflate all our lives? Cause we’re all collected fibrous flesh We’re flowing like juice through a perpetual nest So bring yourself backwards where all is your home Silver trickling stars where you’ve always been known

THROW IT AWAY (Le Beau) I've got nothing to give up but somehow, everything is giving in while I'm unsure how today will end tomorrow's no time to begin Away.... Gravity pulls me down to square one and if I keep going back to where I'm from I would be nothing more than what I am today this trash heap builds up in my hands I'll throw it away... The top is not somewhere I can go and love is not something I will know the damage is done and I've got nothing left to throw away

about

Fall of the Tin Can Empire

With an eclectic and unique sound, Fall of the Tin Can Empire takes folk music to another level but returns it to its pleasing sing-songy roots through songs that go from light to heavy, psychedelic to classical and grandiose to minimalist, making use of instruments like viola, accordion, banjo, and horns. Fronted by Paul Conant and Sam LeBeau. ... more
