lyrics
voices fading through the walls
he's suddenly alone
there's a fever in his bones again
she died on her lover's bed
he carries her regrets
sinking in her covers
sleeping in her debt
he remembers when the ghost
rose from the ground
her shadow sprawling all around
until there was nothing else
until there was nothing else
but hers
shadows slip out from her dreams
onto the boulevard
they're never very far from me
she's taciturn as the buildings burn
she knows she cannot die
she lives in every lover
she lurks in all their lies
he's suddenly alone
there's a fever in his bones again
she died on her lover's bed
he carries her regrets
sinking in her covers
sleeping in her debt
he remembers when the ghost
rose from the ground
her shadow sprawling all around
until there was nothing else
until there was nothing else
but hers
shadows slip out from her dreams
onto the boulevard
they're never very far from me
she's taciturn as the buildings burn
she knows she cannot die
she lives in every lover
she lurks in all their lies

Comprised of nine multi-instrumentalists and choral singers sown in the Midwestern soil, the group's singable, anthem-like choruses combine with sophisticated arrangements to create a sound that both challenges and inspires. ... more
