6 Artists pledged to write a song a week for the month of January: a project aptly named "JAMuary". The result is an ep with a track from each artists month of journey and labour. Southern Alberta Songwriting Society presents: Volume 1.
lyrics
Oh the mystic marriage of the flower and its thorn
Bearing arms since the day that I was born
Iris and Lucille were born from just one cell
Little Lucy took the wheel when their brother’s illness fell
Iris went missing but she never went away
She waits by the swing set, for a friend with whom to play
Broken from the start
Broken from the start
Broken from the start
Broken when we part
A boy lost his father and he grew up much too fast
The little ones looked up to him, his freedom in the past
In the dark of the basement the little boy would stay
Time passed on the outside, he was hidden ‘neath the gray
Broken from the start
Broken from the start
Broken from the start
Broken when we part
Oh the mystic marriage of the flower and its thorn
Bearing arms since the day that I was born
Every person is a child and somehow must grow old
Our innocence in petals and our stem is firm and bold
The tragedy of innocence undone before it’s time
Our selves we find in battle; the petal and the vine
Broken from the start
Broken from the start
Broken from the start
Broken when we part
