In Dreams 03:08
lyrics
buy track
(The Lonely Man): Back again in isolation unexpectedly Welcome home the apparitions, phantom company Misery consumes this structure, bliss under attack Waiting for the ground to rupture, cleanse us with collapse Waste the days away living among decay These surroundings falling to disarray All your fears renewed, creeping in solitude Doors opening, meaning to intrude Entries open wide, something is wrong inside Spirits who came from the other side Too good to be true, know that I won't rue Hail today, when you broke into my life Your presence is so unexpected, welcome as it is Looking at you's got me hectic, pardon my hubris What brings you to this less-than-homely place devoid of wants Seems you grew too lonely in your old familiar haunts Stick around, I said, let me into your head Reactions show you'd rather be dead Know the time is off, know the day is wrong You're humming to the tune of another song Beauty at its most, bringing me in too close Her skin shining white as a living ghost Listen carefully, knowing she won't repeat: (The Big-Eye Girl): Look me up, you'll know to find me Only in dreams (The Lonely Man): Girl of my dreams

Your Frigid Embrace 03:00
lyrics

(The Lonely Man): Nice to see you again in this broken old home Where nothing is ever quite calm Your presence is pleasant, a break in the drone I'd welcome it more later on (The Lonely Man & The Big-Eyed Girl): There's a divine connection between you and I All the pieces fall dead into place An ethereal glint in the midst of your eye And it shows in the look on your face (The Big-Eyed Girl): How's it feel knowing you've always belonged No basis to your foolish fright There's something about it that vaguely feels wrong But you know how it goes, it's alright (The Lonely Man): The feeling is mutual, strangers no more No awkward mishaps to erase It chills to the bone, but I'm warm to the core Bring me in with your frigid embrace

Incoherent Light 03:09
lyrics

(The Lonely Man): It's been said all great minds think alike, so I Greet the good news with an optimistic sigh Got that steamy summer love in mid-July Still the chills are running down my spine Illuminate me inside with your incoherent light From the bottom of my heart I do invite Please don't pull away, I won't lead you astray I'll surrender if you say goodnight Great minds put their heads together and conspire What's the harm in sudden love, I do inquire So let's get caught up in throes in bare attire Promise me you'll never tire So just where to go from here No moment has arrived like this in years Our inertia's got me paranoid I can't escape these fears The spirits have all left us an at last we're all alone What's mine is yours, so don't be shy and make yourself at home Place your hand in mine, you return the sign I'd much prefer the company you've shown

Our Short-Lived Days 04:08
lyrics
buy track
(The Big-Eyed Girl): Another grey sky morning More nights without a dream I wish this place were boring It's littered with our screams It's always coming, It's always something That I wish I could leave behind It's never nothing, it's always something That starts in the back of my mind When did it all start heading south You broke my heart and broke your vows The hammer strikes the fatal blow I'll be the last good thing you know And on this grey sky morning My life had ended fast But why was no one mourning They knew it wouldn't last Gone from my mind My passing on to the other side At what time did I take that fall I sense a change A something darker and more deranged Creeping through the cracks in the wall So as my spirit lingers on Corporeality is gone You turn to me a frightened gaze So we lament our short-lived days

Back to Back 03:55
lyrics

(The Lonely Man): I've got to take this for what it's worth Feels like falling off the face of the earth This fast momentum is reversed What have I done, have I been cursed This place will never be rid of these odd spirits Yeah, how can I think this through Yeah, now that I know the truth Standing back to back We have to face the facts But, nothing compares to you Just like a slave, you're bound by limb The incantations of the grim And in these spells here's what I've heard The necronomicon is word Though it's benevolent, I can't help but fear it

Old Familiar Haunts 03:58
lyrics
buy track
(The Big-Eyed Girl): Here I am in isolation Unexpectedly At least this time it's just A joke that's played on me I crept in, the room was empty So much for our fate I feel so empty and it's Not my lack of state (The Big-Eyed Girl & the Chorus of Spirits): And now there is not best of me (You!) You left and took the rest of me The dead have no needs or wants But it's so unfamiliar here among the ruin Back to my old, familiar haunts (The Big-Eyed Girl): Nothing to do but to wait For new life to come 'round But it's clear it's been condemned This new home I have found Why must this last so short What a waste of breath I guess I can't blame him With that looming stare of death (The Big-Eye Girl & the Chorus of Spirits): Here forever No great pleasure
