take from me this golden arrow and relieve the fallen sparrow's wing when will we fly again? i miss the city breeze you got the best of me the laughter and the soul take a turn you know they'll follow down the road all grey & hollow gravity... every day gets heavier the ground's up to our knees pretend there are wings attached to every broken thing to lift us above the weeds a shadow to the stone take the path no one will follow down the road all bent with sorrow all these faces... no reaction empty cages... all abandoned stuck within a Kubrick picture there is only one way out the flame is nearly gone but the fire it's our own to tend alone take the road no one will follow to a place no one will bother

your face so bright it glows in the night your favorite fit under a curled upper lip your fingertip is starting to drip with the blood of a summer almost gone you're handing me a list of apologies the page is clean what's that supposed to mean? your favorite flower is wilting in a jar in the sun of a summer almost gone start storing light for the winter gather your fire for the winter locked in so tight fallen prisoner to the winter you're asking me where am i supposed to be? i'm telling you that's what i've been asking we're both confused i'll just follow you on the run in a summer almost gone

all through the night the air was on fire and the breeze couldn't fight the breath of the pyre oh my god... it is everything all our dreams... they mean nothing now oh my god... what is happening? when they laughed they all painted yellow hearts the kingdom collapsed when they all painted yellow hearts mid through the morning the sun was still under and the pale city lights flickered all through that slumber oh my love... it means everything all our fears... they are coming true oh my love... what is happening? when they danced they all painted yellow hearts the kingdom was crashed when they all painted yellow hearts when they dance they sing: "what a joyous day!" but when they sing, they lie it's a lonely day... oh my god... this is everything all our fears... they mean nothing now oh my god... it is happening when they left they all painted yellow hearts the kingdom was cracked when they all painted yellow hearts we all were relaxed as the fogs rolled back and they all went down with yellow hearts

floating... head full of wine feeling... frozen in time on the shoe the other foot to make it's way to nowhere soon it's all a lot of nothing in the net you can make it all quicksand on the floor you can sink us all with quicksand in your soul it feels like... i've been caught in a crime for so long... we reached for the high now you speak only when spoken to the ear becomes the tongue in lieu of holding on to your breath to no end you can make it all quicksand on the floor you can sink us all with quicksand in your soul where will we go when the ground is hot where will run when the knife is drawn where will run when our legs are gone where will we fly when our wings our cut we'll just float on down in a state of awe inner state of awe

I know... what it is I know... where it lives mind bends to fold into the light we go i know... when to quit i know... when it's it push turns to pull into a tug of souls cast in the glow a prism of chemicals i'm feeling like i'm feeling old i'm peeling back the skin i've grown i know... what it sees i know... where it sleeps i know... when it feeds i know... how it bleeds i'm spinning out i'm spinning 'round there's no concealing it i'm feeling floored

she lives in a cherry tree right outside her house the place she calls her home she never knows the words to any of his songs but she always sings along he follows her where she goes in the supermarket aisle they'd exchange a smile but she never knows his name despite seeing him twice a day it keeps him insecure you can't undo what you did to break this and what it takes to make it new you can't trace it... it's always changing all your faces... keep re-arranging you can't fake it... it's all your making there's no stasis... not worth escaping around we go... with heads on a cable she moved back inside her house now that her cherry tree is gone collapsed out in the yard and she never could explain why she never saw him again didn't know that she axed him dead

about

Ghostly Heart Madison, Wisconsin

Ghostly Heart presents hauntingly psychedelic garage rock driven by a post-rock pulse. Freshly forged from the still-glowing embers of The Selfish Gene in Madison, WI, the three-piece band pumps tautly synchronous guitar-rock through reverb-rich veins of catchy melody. Harmonic vocals hover above and between the bars of songs written to linger in the heads of listeners long after the last beat. ... more
