About "Miner's Canary": Carlton paints a vivid portrait of the complex nature of abuse, what looks like cruelty to the outside observer can be perceived as love and power by the person on the receiving end...in the caves. Blame is neither taken nor explicitly placed, but that doesn’t stop the fury and pain from being unfurled through her arpeggiating piano with gutting intensity. All the while, her gasps for air break through to the surface, growing more frequent and more intense until they converge with the crescendo of the piano, morphing into a warped, electronic scream.

Lyrics:
I will sing, to keep the peace
Down below in the cage you built for me
A cave of echoes
A miner’s canary

You were older, you knew the way
To keep me breathing even though the air was thin
There was no oxygen
A miner’s canary…

Lead me, slowly
I am your detective
A living warning sign
Kill me slowly
As I keep you company
I’ll be keeping time

A sentinel so sensitive
You have to lose me just to feel the state you’re in
You’re bound to darkness
A miner’s canary

Lead me, slowly
I am your detective
A living warning sign
Kill me slowly
As I keep you company
I’ll be keeping time
