lyrics

I was falling through a dream but then I woke to your calling
But that was just a dream too, wasn’t it?
Because you’re just a ghost now and you haunt me through and through.
Now I will share your shackles ‘til I’m exorcised of you.

You’re standing in peripheral vision and liquid space.
You’re treading on some fragile secrets. Will you keep them safe?
Can you live on in my memory with its discriminating taste?
It shifts under the loneliness that’s playing with your shape.

I was weightless ‘til your absence pinned me down.
But that was yesterday; now I think I see your face in every crowd.
Can you really be a ghost now? I think you took a part of me with you.
And if you took me with you, am I a ghost now too?

Standing in peripheral vision and liquid space.
You’re treading on some fragile secrets. Will you keep them safe?
Can you live on in my memory with its discriminating taste?
It shifts under the loneliness that’s playing with your shape.

I was falling. Then I awoke.
Now I am haunted by your ghost.

Power trio composed of songwriter Christian Pasiak (vocals/guitar), Kira Montfort (drums) & Brian Dick (bass). Shortly after Brian joined in 2018, the debut album Fossils was laid to tape, featuring metaphor-rich songs about growing up in Canada, the fragility of memory, relationships, and health, and embracing a sense of humour & hope in what lies ahead and what's to become of us in trying times. ... more
