Spiralling lows Fragile homes Promised words Freedoms bound Investments down A family curse And the bottom it feels like it’s lower And the light from the air seems to fade Saving grace Silver rays I hear you say “Tell me what you want, tell me what you’ve got Are you looking for love? Are you looking for god? Tell me what you want, tell me what you’ve got Are you looking for love? Are you looking for god? ‘Cause, we’ve got it.” Blatant thoughts Direction Lost A few shared beliefs History learned Bridges burned Falling out of reach And the distance from you keeps on growing Any breath full of truth feels retrained Shifting blame Swinging States I hear you say “Tell me what you want, tell me what you’ve got Are you looking for love? Are you looking for god? Tell me what you want, tell me what you’ve got Are you looking for love? Are you looking for god? ‘Cause, we’ve got it.” When everything’s uncertain and even bottom falls apart I hear a voice that’s like a light that saying “Tell me what you want” I need money I need breaks I need this hole out of myself I need peace or just a piece of a little heaven in my hell When everything’s unfolding and our morals don’t relate I’ve learned to take what I can get And taught to turn the other way I need love I need a sec I need to figure this all out I need purpose to believe in and I need it right now “Tell me what you want, tell me what you’ve got Are you looking for love? Are you looking for god? Tell me what you want, tell me what you’ve got Are you looking for love? Are you looking for god? Oh, God"

about

"A Few Songs Live Off The Floor" takes the tracks originally co-produced by Marcus Paquin (The Weather Station, The National, Arcade Fire) from Ten Kills The Pack's autobiographical "Thank You For Trying" and strips them to their natural form.

The acoustic version of "God, Love, Prescriptions, and Politics" is the final track to complete the set. Sroka says:
"As writers or artists, we're always finding the blend of the internal and external motions that surround our lives. "God, Love, Prescriptions, Politics" swings towards the external while internal trying to find understanding. It’s about our collective current state. A sad perspective of how someone can become something they weren’t, their excuses, how their destructively and unknowingly influenced, how righteous they are but how wrong, how their belief in hate is more important than what they truly know they need, and how manipulated one can be for someone else’s direct gain- really, nothing new I suppose."
