Recovering Lyrics

Old habits die hard, growing bitter from trying to be broken
While these comfortable routines are smothered with affection
Well, i choose to switch between the two
I choose whatever convinces you, that I should be allowed to
Slip through the cracks and get back to the living
These walls are unforgiving
Send someone to check on me and take notes on my recovery

One pill will get me through the day
But I take two anyway
When I take three pills the song begins to play
One that won't go away. And even though I know
One pill will get me through the day
I take two anyway
When I mix four pills with a drink the song starts to play
Its in the back of my head and it's everywhere
And it's all I can think about

Its all spinning out of control
For one day this thing is out of my hands
While under severe supervision,
Everything is, everything is
But when unsuspected, addiction is under the radar
And anything goes, so here I sit,
Comatose almost

I float between hospitals and halfway homes
Between halfway living and halfway lying
And I know all the awful things that no one needs to know
I take my medicine and make them believe that i'm a better man

One pill will get me through the day
But I take two anyway
When I take three pills the song begins to play
One that won't go away. And even though I know
One pill will get me through the day
I take two anyway
When I mix four pills with a drink the song starts to play
Its in the back of my head and it's everywhere
And it's all I can think about

But still I hear the song
Its everywhere
Surrounding me and ringing in my ears.
The perfect song will call for sedatives, sacrifice and sing-alongs
So sing along

Boys Night Out of Burlington, Ontario officially formed in 2001 when lead vocalist Connor Lovat-Fraser and current guitarist Jeff Davis began collaborating on songs. Their work eventually led to a four-song demo known as You Are My Canvas. The release was followed by a signing to One Day Savior Records and the release of their debut EP, Broken Bones & Bloody Kisses.

Interest in the band was immediate and a short while later they signed to New Jersey based Ferret Records. Their debut full-length, 2003's Make Yourself Sick, was to the shock of some fans much lighter and punk-pop-oriented, but with the same heavy screaming and guitars found on earlier releases. It was shortly after this when drummer Ben Arseneau parted with the band and was replaced by former Fordirelifesake guitarist Brian Southall.

The band's next effort came in the form of 2005's Trainwreck. This release was a somewhat more subdued, experimental concept record based on a man's loss of sanity. It was in this same album where the boys made a brave move by introducing Kara Dupuy, who brought with her not only a fresh, new synth to their sound but female vocals as well. But all good things have to end and after only a short stint with the band they parted ways.

Trainwreck tells the story of a man who murders his wife, with whom he is deeply in love with, all while under the influence of deeply troubling dreams. Upon waking from these dreams, he realizes what he's done and slips into a catatonic state. The remainder of the album follows the man from his release from a psych ward, through his obsession with a song heard only by him. He belives the song influences himself to kill more, so he cuts off both his own hands, to never kill again. The eventual conclusion of the story where he dies from a overdose and a infection from the rusty machine used to cut his hands off. Trainwreck is a tribute to the versatility of Boys Night Out. Their style has evolved and matured, but the components that are explicitly BNO remain in their music.

In early 2006, Kara Dupuy (vocals and synthesizer/keyboard) left Boys Night Out due to her engagement. She has not currently been replaced. Later that year, Andy Lewis, formerly of The Fullblast, joined Boys Night Out on guitar, and Ben Arseneau, the original drummer in the band, re-joined after Brian Southall left to join The Receiving End of Sirens.
