lyrics

LYRICS:

Here we're hand in hand
just tracing 'round the ghosts
to see them off.

Wave goodbye, then laugh
our newly sacred selves
to sleep alone, together-
Yes- alone!

We lie, ear to ear,
just listening for the other's
difference in breathing

The next twelve-hundred days
take place in dreams
until we wake up, not alone.
No- not alone.

They came into our home-
they wanted yours;
they wanted mine;
they wanted ghosts.
In our home.
They were savage for yours;
they were savage for mine;
they were savage for ghosts.

They speak eloquently,
using words like "Solitary",
never "Sleep".

You grasp both my hands
and breathe with me, in my ears,
but darling, I was gone.
Now I can't sleep.

They came into our home-
they'll want yours;
they'll want mine;
they'll want ghosts.
In our home.
Oh, so eloquent...
I was a sucker for them.

They'll speak eloquently,
using words like "Solitary",
never "Sleep".

You grasp both my hands
and breathe with me, in my ears,
but darling, I was gone.

Make Phantoms Richmond

Through the sounds of the spectrum of calming to harrowing harmonies, the idling of organs and buzz of synthesized sounds; across the vast landscape of echoing guitars and pianos; and under the spell of soul-shaking, percussive rhythms...they will make phantoms. ... more
