Piloting A Vehicle Of Audible Expression

A fifty-two cent postage stamp
carried across the continent
Sealed aid in a brown-stained envelop
It reached the ports of a familiar regional time zone

It read a scribbled name that of which
Could have only been written by a left handed
Boy you were close with before you left
The stompin’ ground foundation we jointly built

Drunk dials and calling cards were spent
For others to toss or collect
Out-of-touch confessions due
To lack of following through confidence

But I’ve come to repair those breakdowns
By replacing them with wrecker parts gone astray
It was only a matter of time before our
Integrities were displayed

And it showed us both something
We’d already known for some time
That your heart is not in it for the
Same reasons as mine

A simple recognition of a handshake
To gesture godspeed to parting ways
Would have completely avoided
The turmoil leak

Of all we’ve been through
It doesn’t make sense
How you handled yourself
before you abandoned the ship

Old co-pilot, he said
“Terms aren’t worth anything”
It was a solid blow
To everything we had been

But I’ll keep guiding this rocket ship
Fueling my passions into the belly of it
And I’ll keep guiding this rocket ship
There is a strength in sound and I think I found it

With open hearts and open minds
We’re strong enough to guide
A vehicle of audible expression

The methods for achieving higher altitudes
are scratched as blueprints
in our notebooks and they
entail great magnitude

What we think, what we feel
What we believe, what we hold,
What we question in mind

What we trust, what we oppose,
what we love are all carriers inside
A vehicle of audible expression

With open hearts and open minds
We’re strong enough to guide
A vehicle of audible expression

Friendship has been a pillar of audio/rocketry’s blistering rally cry from the start, with the core duo of Joe Vickers and Matthew Murphy expanding to accommodate a rotating crew of some of Edmonton’s hardest working musicians. After a decade of touring the continent, the band finds itself distilled to its strongest bonds and purest sound with the addition of Blair Drover and Jerome Tovillo. ... more
