Those two voices Are causing a commotion. Those two voices (two voices) Are causing a commotion in my head. One is rhyme (one is rhyme) But the other isn’t reason- Committing crimes (committing crimes) And other acts of treason. My head and heart (head and heart) Are causing a commotion. My head and heart (head and heart) Are causing a commotion in my bed. One is black (one is black) And the other craves reaction- Biting backs (biting backs) Until the satisfaction has been fed. I’m the bipolar princess who is bearing witness To the battle between man, wife, and mistress. The mistakes of misplaced feelings from embrace Reveal themselves all over my face. I’m facing the facts between love and attraction- The risks that we take just to get some action. I’m acting one way and I’m thinking another I’m telling you lies ‘til the truth gets discovered. My words are acts (words and acts) Are causing a commotion. To all of those (all of those) Poor souls who I seem to have misled. I meant no harm (meant no harm) My reality’s a thin line So I put on (I put on) Another skin of mine that I can’t shed.

Comeocean 03:57
I have to express to you this important notion- I’ve found that I have complete devotion to the ocean. I’m in an emotional state. We better get there, before it’s too late! Don’t you see, you’re my sea Your powerful waves crash ‘round me. Your ebb and flow always show me Where I should go, where I should go Where I should go, where I should go. Your vast expanses are always putting me in trances. You’re an enchantress, your magic is automatic- And like a gun you control my fate. We better get there, before it’s too late! You have been known to cause me some certain grief. You’ve sunk my ships and crashed me on your barrier reef. You have attacked me, come at me with all of your force- With no remorse. Your tides cause my insides to become weak with desire. And I can not help but admire your strength against fire. Our future together awaits- We better get there, before it’s too late!

Front Seat 03:35
I’m looking for adventure I’m looking for some insight I’m looking for a way to leave. I’m searching for an answer I’m searching for some sunlight I’m searching for the great escape. So let’s go- Take me anywhere you wanna see Take me anywhere that I don’t know I’ll be happy In the front seat. Go- Take me anywhere you wanna be I’m just looking for a chance to grow I’ll be happy In the front seat. Don’t want to be walking On the safe side of the street- Taking risks, not taking defeat. I want to find some trouble- Give me some of that good kind! Liberation’s always on my mind. So let’s go- Take me anywhere you wanna see Take me anywhere that I don’t know (Take me for a ride) I’ll be happy In the front seat. Go- (Take me for a ride) Take me anywhere you wanna be I’m just looking for a chance to grow (Take me for a ride) I’ll be happy In the front seat. This pavement is a pathway Non-stop black top stretching miles- Take me to a place I feel worthwhile. There’s mountains in the distance Noble guides to my persistence To get up and go- Let’s get out of here!

Stayed up all night with you and said “Please let me in into the sin in your head.” You’re seeing red, my heart has bled, I’m trapped, wrapped up between the sheets in your bed. (wrapped up between the sheets in your bed) Poetry you say to me- I’m hanging onto every word that you’ve said. Philosophies, ideologies; You impress me with the books that you’ve read. My eyes are bleary grey (This! Feels!) My hair’s in disarray (So! Real!) And my mouth’s an ashtray ‘Cause you’ve led me astray. (This! Feels!) (This! Feels! So! Real!) My hands are tied up like your tongue I’ve cried for all the things that we have done. (I have cried for all the things we’ve done) Up comes the sun we haven’t slept The curtains hide what’s going on inside. I feel you lying by my side- this feels so real- this isn’t contrived. (feels so real this isn’t contrived) And just because you think we’ve failed It really doesn’t mean we haven’t tried. You’re spending all I pay (This! Feels!) My days are all replayed (So! Real!) And my mouth’s an ashtray ‘Cause you’ve led me astray. (This! Feels!) (This! Feels! So! Real!) I’m strung up just like a kite You pull me back so I don’t start to take flight. (Pull me back I don’t want to take flight) I hold on to your hand tight You squeeze mine back- hold on with all of your might. (Please squeeze my hand with all of your might) Here comes the night, to your delight it’s dark, Thank god there isn’t any more light. (Thank god there isn’t any more light) I’m captivated once again with the words that you begin to recite. (Captivated With! Your! Words!) You mould me like I’m clay (This! Feels!) I mold and I decay (So! Real!) And my mouth’s an ashtray ‘Cause you’ve led me astray. (This! Feels!) (This! Feels! So! Real!)

Last night I had a dream that I was a roller coaster Stuck on my track. Spinning and rushing around- But always ending up right back where I started. My restless feet are moving under me And there’s too many things that I wanna see But I know we’ll meet again- Meet again someday. Well I’ve felt this way before But this time I can’t ignore the tugging on my shirt sleeves. This time we must both be brave so save your tears for something else Believe me. My restless feet are moving under me And there’s too many things that I wanna see But I know we’ll meet again- Meet again someday. And try to understand, Please don’t let go of my hand, I may be leaving this town But I’m not leaving you. I can’t stay here anymore ‘Cause every song I sing sounds like one I’ve sung before. But every time you look my way It just makes me wanna stay So please look away.

Hold On 03:58
I crave the presence of you, Receive the presents from you, I love you and I don’t even know you. There is something between us, Though there’s miles between us, A screenplay in my mind I’ve written for us. I’m losing my grip I’m losing my grip I’m losing my grip ‘cause of you. And now, two worlds are colliding And my heart isn’t hiding- It’s sewn on to my coat for all to see. And my head’s trapped in the cellar- I need a fortune teller To tell me all the facts that I’ve forgotten. I’m losing my grip (Hold on to) I’m losing my grip I’m losing my grip (Hold on to) ‘Cause of you. And so, the soothsayer said- “It’s all just in your head, Certainty has fled- she’s left the building. You’ve let the truth waiver instead And believed all you’ve read. Sanity’s left unfed- she’s starving.” Hold on to Hold on to Hold on to Hold on to

Fishes 03:58
Little tiny fishes Swimming through my vision The thought of this is abstract But loving you is automatic. Little tiny fishes Swimming through my vision The thought of this is abstract But love is something oceanic. The sweat upon my skin tastes just like the salty waters That you are bathing in- Your breath is like the wind. And the tears that are flowing Are just rivers for you to run in. My eyes, they are glowing- Greeny-blue they talk to you And I can hardly see. I can hardly see you ‘Cause my eyes are filling up. I can hardly see you ‘Cause my eyes are filled with The flower of my eye Has lost its purple colour of a setting evening sky. Now seaweed green can only mean that my eyes seem like the sea. They only see the sea. See only you and me- But just barely. My eyes are filling up with My eyes are filling up with My eyes are filling up with little tiny

This idle mind’s a dangerous one. All the things I’ve overcome Are rushing back to haunt me now- Hurrying to taunt me now. This idle mind’s a dangerous one- Twisting songs I haven’t sung, Changing ends to stories never told, Manipulate to fit a mould. (I can’t afford my mind to wonder) (I can’t afford my hands to wander) Occupy my mind. (I can’t afford my mind to wonder) Occupy my hands. (I can’t afford my hands to wander) This idle mind’s a dangerous one. I’m losing track of where I’m from Can’t see the start nor what I’ve become. A heavy heart upon my arm. This idle mind’s a dangerous one- So much damage it has done. All the riddles I’ve been left to solve ‘Til my sin begins to be absolved. My restlessness is overbearing I am so prone to over sharing Please keep my mind occupied. I have been known to over think I have been known to over drink Please keep my mind occupied. Keep my hands occupied.

Feet In Sand 05:18
I need a change of scenery I need a change. What should I craft? A boat or a raft? To take us far away from here (Take us far a) We can start again my dear. We’ll sail the ocean, more than certain It will take us to our new place (Will take us to) We will feel the warm embrace of Sun on skin and feet in sand. Scenery I need a change of you Scenery I need. What should I make For us to take? Around the world and back again- (‘Round the world and) I'll send some postcards now and then. The past we won’t dwell, Say our farewells and Journey on to our new place (Journey on to) We will feel the warm embrace of Sun on skin and feet in Change of scenery- That’s what I need! Change of scenery. What should I pack In my knapsack? With you I’ll have all that I need (You I’ll have all) That’s the one thing I can concede. We’ll live out our life, No pain nor strife- Just enjoying our new place (Just enjoying) We will feel the warm embrace of Sun on skin and feet in sand. Sun on skin Feet in sand We will journey to our new place. Sun on skin Feet in sand We will feel your warm embrace.

Get the hell out of here! Can you hear the voices, hear the voices inside my head? Can you hear the voice, hear the voices inside my head? They are calling me- a chanting choir advocating change They are telling me. They are telling me. Get the hell out of here, get the hell out of here. Get the hell out of here, get the hell out of here. Can you see the footprints, footprints that I’ve made in the snow? Can you see the footprints, footprints that I’ve made in the snow? They are following me, following me everywhere I go. They are following me, as I grow. Get the hell out of here, get the hell out of here. (Can you see them, see them?) Get the hell out of here, get the hell out of here. (I can see them, see them.) Can you feel the tension- she’s building up her bricks nice and tall Growing poison ivy, covering the cracks along the wall. Can you feel the tension building up my body through my nerves Shooting growing pains and triggering the fight or flight reserve. Can you feel the swell the waves are crashing hard against the shore Spraying ocean mist, a cleansing clarity I can’t ignore Can you feel the swell her energy is flooding over me I can feel the swell, inside of me. Get the hell out of here, get the hell out of here. (Can you feel them, feel them?) Get the hell out of here, get the hell out of here. (I can feel them, feel them.) Get the hell out of here, get the hell out of here. (Can you hear them, see then, feel them?) Get the hell out of here, get the hell out of here. (I can hear them, see them, feel them.)

about

Comeocean is a unification of a yearning for the ocean and the commotion of an obsessive and neurotic mind. Two West Coast women finding each other in the prairies and bearing the North together; on a journey to figure out the complexities of the human psyche.

about

Two Bears North Edmonton, Alberta

“Tight, punchy, pop-rock replete with melodic hooks, intricate rhythms and some inexplicable/intangible quality that makes it all so utterly charming.” (Rokline Magazine)

Two Bears North fearlessly expresses the relentless battle between darkness and light. The trio is fronted by Sophie Heppell and Melissa Walker who embody this contrast—a musical collision of yin and yang.
