It’s the work of a darkened overpass 
It’s the work of a thief in the night 
It’s the worth of a love that just won't last
 Calling out
 Now you are so lost I 
Don’t know where to begin
 Or what it costs What does it cost to win
 It's the burn of the one you can't get past 
It's the turn of the leaves overnight
 If the words of the maker come too fast
 Wait it out, wait it out How we got so lost I
 Don’t know but I still fight 
What does it cost
 What does it cost to be right   Run the water through your hands
 While you're wondering
 You were doing it right by the way
 You were doing it right by the way It's the burn of the one you can't get past 
It's the turn of the leaves overnight
 If the words of the maker come too fast
 Wait it out, wait it out How we got so lost I
 Don’t know but I still fight 
What does it cost
 What does it cost to be right

You say 
that you are brave
 And I am brave like you
 For now
 I’ll walk assured Tarnished by the indifference of the room Don’t let me see you hide behind your hate now 
It’s the only night to come and let your body loose
 Don’t let me see you hide behind your hate now 
In the low lit light the anger becomes diffused
 You say 
it won’t be long 
before we get to choose 
For now the children shave their heads
 and grow like thieves from the silence of the room Don’t let me see you hide behind your hate now 
It’s the only night to come and let your body loose
 Don’t let me see you hide behind your hate now 
In the low lit light the anger becomes diffused

Tremble 03:01
Lost my world at sea
 Reading the fine print slowly
 Ages, those sour pages
 Your pretty lines confuse me The colour drained from your eyes
 One look would scar you on the inside 
I know you left the letter unsigned but
 You can’t deny that You saw me tremble, say what you gotta say 
Two together down in the subway 
Through the window, can you really tell me that it’s Not what it looks like Lost, you move beside 
Some healing heartbeat 
Closing in on your pride now 
Making your life uneasy The colour drained from the sky
 One look could wreck the love you sail by
 I know you left the letter unsigned but 
You can’t deny that You saw me tremble, say what you gotta say 
Two together down in the subway 
Through the window, can you really tell me that it’s Not what it looks like You say she is a friend of yours You try to pretend But I’ve got friends 
I know how to be friends I can tell you’re not friends Maybe we should be friends You saw me tremble, say what you gotta say 
Two together down in the subway 
Through the window, can you really tell me that it’s Not what it looks like

Silent City 03:56
Frozen In a silent city Steps from the highway You’re following You chase a 100 silver pins across the map You’ll find a way You’ll find a way to make it back Let this last love stay here in the crowd Nothing temporary can get to you now Wait for the lights In a silent city Not a soul in sight And you know you can You got no motive you’re the victim and the crime Don’t shoot to wreck them It just helps you pass the time Let this last love stay here in the crowd Nothing temporary can get to you now You chase a hundred silver pins across the map You’ll find a way, you’ll find a way to make it back You chase a hundred silver pins across the map Let this last love stay here in the crowd Nothing temporary can get to you now

Where We Go 03:54
No one's here when we're here
 No one's here when we're here
 In the middle of the night I feel it 
In the middle of the coldest night

 
I don't know why we were brought here
 I don't know why we were left here alone
 I don't know why we were brought here

 No one goes where we go 
No one goes where we go 
In the middle of the night I hear it
 In the middle of the silent night 
I don't know why we were brought here
 I don't know why we were left here alone
 I don't know why we were brought here

 Don't tell them where we are, I like it here with you 
On the floor where we lie I feel the cold hard truth
 Our world is still but for the creak of footsteps up above 
They bang on the walls in time to the pounding of your heart on mine love No one knows what we know
 No one knows what we know
 In the middle of the night he told me
 In the middle of the holy night 
I don't know why we were brought here
 I don't know why we were left here alone
 I don't know why we were brought here

 I don't know why we were left here alone

I can see her, where she cut her hair
 In the backyard, on a lawn chair
 Money on the table, smoke in the air 
Soon she'd send us somewhere far away 
To the concrete and the slow parade 
A city that was stable, like a fairytale Dreams of India And my mother’s wish 
Violent dreams of India In the warmth of her kiss
 Tell the doctor somethings really wrong
 If you see him, say you came alone Land of fables in the end
 In the alley they will whisper to you 
If you don’t fight, they will take her from you
 If you tell the doctor, there’ll be hell Dreams of India, and my mother’s wish 
Violet dreams of India, in the warmth of her kiss Still don’t remember what I did Take it back where it all started 
Still don’t remember what I did Take it back where it all started 
Dreams of India, in the warmth of her kiss

Til We Lost 03:43
Late at night did I hear you come in From the dark in the alley I swear I heard you stumbling Can you call me when you get there somehow Can you call me so I know you got there
 Oh baby I don’t wanna lose you We ran till we lost our voices
 Calling to the night
 A fear of the darkness coming
 say you’ll follow me there
say you’ll follow me there 

 
I lay last night till I heard you come in From the dark in the kitchen you look like you’ve been rumblin’

 
Can’t you call me when you’re staying out late 
Can’t you call me I can’t get to sleep 
baby I feel I’m gonna lose you

 We ran till we lost our voices
 Calling to the night
 A fear of the darkness coming
 say you’ll follow me there
say you’ll follow me there

 Never take your word take your word
, by now 
It’d be better for you better for me To let you know that I would Never take your word take your word
, by now 
It’d be better for you better for me To let you know

One Day 03:37
One day they'll come for me Take my heart deep in the ground 
Follow me down with a key
 Leave my heart where it won't be found 

One day the sun goes black
 Shade of the strength we lack 
Follow me down to the beach
 Feel that sky just out of reach With you I'm something worth saving 
A cold branch that's waiting, waving
 With you I'm something worth saving
 The dawn we're creating, craving One day they'll come for me Take my heart deep in the ground 
Follow me down with a key
 Leave my heart where it won't be found With you I'm something worth saving 
A cold branch that's waiting, waving
 With you I'm something worth saving
 The dawn we're creating, craving 

One day the sun goes black
 Shade of the strength we lack 
Follow me down to the beach
 Feel that sky just out of reach With you I'm something worth saving 
A cold branch that's waiting, waving
 With you I'm something worth saving
 The dawn we're creating, craving

about

Petty Victories Toronto, Ontario

Petty Victories is a fusion of opposites. Front women Colleen Dauncey and Zoe Sky Jordan have rooted their sound in driving, melody synth lines and smoldering yet sweet harmonies. Though their voices are like night and day, together they are often mistaken for one, earning them a reputation for pleasantly surprising their audiences.

Petty Victories second album is set for release early 2013.
