Poltergeist
06:02

Didn't think of you for days as I searched the house for all of the doors that had shut.
But instead I found all of the cabinets flung open the closets were vacant of all our stuff.
The floors are still scratched
But there's light shining in without those tacky curtains you matched to all the cracking paint on the walls
That all of my hums and chirps bounce off
I like the sound of them till your voice echoes back saying that I'm a broken record
You weren't the first to tell me that
You probably won't be the last
I'll have you know that I've taken new lovers into bed
Yeah I far prefer them to anything we had
You took that bed frame when I left
The jagged one that used to always cut my back
That's a feeling that I know that I will never miss
When I'm trying to get some rest I hear noises coming from the vents
Those memories that I'd like to forget
And at the far end of the house there is a basement
The entrance is dark and it's gaping
I hear
The throwing of things all about
A poltergeist haunting this house of mine
That's all I ever find
You clawed your way into my heart
But only the deepest darkest part of me
That's all you'll ever see

Potter's Field
03:40

In that potter's field outside my house
Unmarked graves are everywhere
I don't remember where your's is
so I picture it everywhere
I'm looking for markings
For pigments and epitaphs
Of a funeral I never had
Identifying trinkets in the upturned dirt
Those things left on graves
Signs of fresh death like at evergreen
But I can't find, No I can't find a thing
So I will write this out and scream at your grave
If I ever find it these are cruel words I will waste to summon you
Summoning you out
Summoning you out

No Parades
03:08
|
|||
I ripped out those pages of my calendar
The empty ones reminding me of those empty two years
You wanted us to die together
But I'd rather that you died alone
Well your hearse is now rusting away
And your cadaver is rotting
Yes you'll get no parades

Ghost
02:04
|

If only then you knew
If only then you knew
That I am an Angry Ghost
Haunting all that you've known
If only then you knew
If only then you knew
That I am an angry ghost
Haunting all that you know
If only if only if only you
if only if only if only you
Dreamed of me
Destroying you

Vanity Mirror
05:37
|
|||
Wish I was ugly enough to love anyone
Though deep down I'm ugly too
I'll build a vanity mirror, baby
Construct us a better version of you
Maybe that will justify loving you
But right now you're far too ugly for me to
Maybe we can turn down the lights
soften those features I don't like
I'll cover it in pictures of better times
I don't think you're worth the effort to try
Maybe to not make it and just leave would be kind
Maybe to not make it and just leave would be kind
But I hate you and I really don't want to be nice
You're deep down in my soul where all my anger resides
I hope for you that I'm an apparition every night
And it's expressions are reflections of how you look in my eyes
I just want the pain to have been worth something
That penance long ago cleared my conscience
I think that these songs are the best work that I've ever done
And I'm angry at the hand you had in every one
So I'll erase your name from all of this
Bleach it away like the hair on top of your head
Throw our pictures into a big blue sea
The same color as those contacts you'd wear around me
Your eyes are really earth brown and you hide them
You are a jealous child
You are selfish in real life
Your eyes are really dirt brown yeah you hide them
You are a Jealous child
You are selfish in real life
And I do not forgive you

Seance
03:20
|

Well I did a seance of you last night.
No I didn't once flinch when I called your name out three times.
When your apparition appeared to me it cried.
Yeah I wasted more words on you than I'd ever like.
Your ghost was begging for forgiveness for all of the things it had done.
But it could not reply when I asked it it to recall any specific moment.
I don't have to forgive you there's no point, you'll never change.
You'll just dig through your past in an effort to explain.
Why you act the way you do.
You're not sorry for anything except for the fact that you'll have to deal with yourself now
without me to take all those beatings
your guilt is the easy kind
It's the kind that lets you pick the mornings you get out of bed
You get to select which quiet moments you cringe
From a lover's touch you'll never recoil in fear
You just use it to beg for sympathy for everything that you did to me
Well I don't need to forgive you
you'll never change
You'll just dig through your past in an effort to explain.
Well there's a warm body in my bed and I've got work in the morning
I am waking up in a few hours to an objectively better future

Falconer (Acoustic Demo)
02:18
|

When I get home at night I listen for the sound of your wings on the wind.
You are a hunting hawk in my life.
Always waiting on my few quiet moments to strike.
I want you to know that a few lies were said when your talons carved the pelt on my back.
I'm small game at night.
The Horns are calling a hunt.
Wings spread, you're unhooded and your eyes are red.
