about

most recent track for the eight zero - october 1, 2023

lyrics

the ghosts keep on climbing higher
each child in his home  
alone and haunted in a dream
as she lies there beside them
and the silence makes her harder
it ought to fade away slowly fade away
the silence is silent in both worlds
she stares at the water with the eyes of others
hoping she hears just what she wants to hear  

i saw her face on my doorstep
i felt my hands shaking 
i did not understand
shadows splitting time
and out of place
i saw her laughing
i wasn't near

then i'd whisper into these few words
that try to help a restless mind
and raise it from its grave 
i just can't get it right at all
and it's yet too late now  
for anyone to learn
that every breath's worth this darkness 

i saw her face on my doorstep
i felt my hands shaking 
i did not understand
shadows splitting time
and out of place
i saw her laughing
i wasn't near
 
it was over in an instant
it had been far away for far too long
i'll be alright
it will get better
if you just hold on
soon we must come together  

i saw a face on my doorstep
i felt my hands shaking i did not understand
shadows splitting time
and out of place
i saw you laughing
i wasn't near 
when i saw your face
