lyrics

Like ghosts that show themselves
Among the ruins we've kept
Like holding dust inside
The cracks along the crest of a hand
This parting of ways makes us bend
To the pressure of nothing

And the closets all whisper
When did you become so quiet
The windows are choking on laughter

This last glance
At what you couldn't explain
But what's the past
Until we've given it a name
When memories vanish
Like hallways that cave under
The weight of ourselves

When did this home
Become an asylum
Discarded artifacts
Trace outlines on the floor
So all we ever see is something
That's never been there before

Well it's over now
If these walls could talk
They'd hold their tongue
We've been turned into statues
That keep watch at the door

This EP is amazing and ends off with one of the most beautiful mathy and twinkly riffs on the last song. Great! dominikgray
