Don’t leave me alone out here in Kinosaki
Haven’t had a friend since the operation
I was maybe hoping you could wash my body
And wash me down the gutter
You can call me Shiga, you’re the happy water-rat
You’re already skewered, I’m well on my way there
Spirit of the newt was crushed beneath the boulder
We can all be friends when all this is over
I didn’t know that I didn’t wake up in the hospital
I left alone and slept-walked up the stairs
It wasn’t cold, it was draughts of moonflowers
Don’t leave me alone out here in Kinosaki
The spirits of the fauna are all that’s left of me
I can feel my body floating away now
Can I get some sleep?

I am haunted by the Holy Ghost
Brother Buchanan is sitting right there
Next to me and can’t be seen
When I stopped feeling anything
I am same being—I am the same thing
If I am the House of the Lord
Don’t forget the—don’t forget floorboards
Sometimes you have to go into the forest
Spirit world and wooden graveyard
You can’t die if you’re already dead

How you gonna love me without my body?
How you gonna kiss me without my mouth?
How you gonna hold me in the evening?
Now your loving arms must do without
Don't raise your voice to tell me that you love me
All I get out here are prayers and words of hope
I get the sense you’re reaching out to touch me
But If I can't feel it, how you gonna love me?
If I can't feel you, how you gonna love me?
How you gonna love me when you can’t see me?
How you gonna notice that I’m here?
Even when I’m close, you keep on grieving
Nothing’s gonna prove that I’ve been near
Don’t look for me when you get thinking of me
All I get out here are tears and lonesome eyes
Babe you know I hang around you, try and trust me
But if you can’t see that, how you gonna love me?
No if you can’t see me, how you gonna love me?
How you gonna love me when you can’t hear me?
How you gonna understand my love?
When you needed me you used to call me
Quiet on the line is not enough
Don’t listen for my voice when you get lonely
Sure I’m singing but you cannot hear the sound
Oh I listen but you think I'm not responding
But if you can’t hear it, how you gonna love me?
And if you can’t see that, how you gonna love me?
Oh if I can’t feel you, how you gonna love me?

Will you come to me tonight? Bedside, translucent white
I don’t mind if you’re haunting me, in visions, and dreams
How else can I get to you, ghost girl? My spirit pearl
I thought I had a hold on you, running my fingers through
It’s you, the one I’ve been missing
It’s true, so lonely where I’ve been
Make your mind up
It’s all made up
Don’t you float away from me, let me see you breathing
Or I can be just as dead as you, cause you kill me, but I’m willing

How I loved you
Now I’m on the other side
Every morning, every evening
Had my driveway waiting for me
Ate my fast food so completely
My companions loved me sweetly
Now that I’m gone, I float in wonder
Life, my dear, You were not so long
And I’ll admit that I was
So surprised to find
That I was still alive kind of
I guess it’s kind of complicated
I am dead
But I am here still, and I am wondering
If you can feel my presence
When I come back to Taco Bell
Or listen to your podcasts still
Or come to family dinners still
Or think of new stories to tell
I’m wondering what I’m doing here
How I loved you
Now I’m on the other side
Every morning, every evening
Had my driveway waiting for me
Ate my fast food so completely
My companions loved me sweetly
Now that I’m gone, I float in wonder
Life, my dear, You were not so long

When visions come in the night,
Everything is not alright.
Loved ones speak from lands beyond.
We are here, but they are gone.
And some of you here won’t make it,
Can’t bear to see no vacant spaces at my table,
So if you’re able, break the chain for me.

Everybody said to move on.
But I didn’t want to be alone.
Everybody said you were gone.
But I knew that they were wrong.
I’ve seen things I can’t explain.
I saw sunshine through the rain.
I saw you.
I saw you in my mind.
You looked just the same, baby,
When you were mine.
I saw you.
I saw you in my dreams.
I knew if you ever left, baby,
You’d come back for me.
You were laying in our bed.
I saw the sunlight on your head.
Your blue eyes looked at me,
And I knew it couldn’t be.
It’s been years since I lost you,
So i didn’t know what to do…
When I saw you.
I saw you in my mind.
You looked just the same, baby,
When you were mine.
I saw you.
I saw you in my dreams.
I knew if you ever left, baby,
You’d come back for me.
(Repeat)

I step in—say hello
Tap the light just so you know
That I'm here and I mean no harm
Think I'd like to get to know you
Ask your name—where you from?
Wonder why you chose this your home?
What do you fear? And can you relate?
If you had the chance, what would you like to say?
I break the lull but I can feel you there
Try my best—pretend not to care
But my heart is beating for anyone to hear
I turn off the light and disappear

We are hiding
Beings in keeping
We didn't know that when we sang about the dead ends we became
It steals the color from my face and from my mind
It steals the color from my face and from my life
We didn't know that when we sang about the dead ends we became

That heavy mid-day morning eyelid weight
I don't care if or when I’m up
Heat and spirits burden all my veins
too small for blood
Clamber over clothes and headache,
Keys and headphones in a fist
My mind settles on the expletive,
Fuck all of this
Is it the heat, or Is it my mind
If I sit here long enough, will you appear to me?
Is it my faith
That makes you real
If I text, or if I whisper, will you hear me?
Wish I could jot you into notes.app,
To stumble upon once again,
Have you eaten? Are you staying warm?
I miss you old friend
Is it the heat, or Is it my mind
If I sit here long enough, will you appear to me?
Are you a ghost
Can you feel what I feel?
If I text, or if I whisper, will you hear me?

I have a hope
A hand on a rope
A tiny vision
Of what's to come
I don't wanna know
I start a war
My thoughts erode
I stay at home
I am a ghost
Where's my body
I wanna feel the ground with my feet
Too much
To see
Through If
You are
In between
I am a ghost
I am a ghost
Walk the halls
Go Unnoticed
I don't wanna know
Where's my body
I wanna feel the ground with my feet
Take a breath
I'll be home
Telephone
Took too long
To be with you

Russia lost its head
Everybody is dead
Unholy ghosts unite
In Purgatory tonight
Wait at Charon's shore
Lit, still smoking a cigarette
Rotten fruit of loin
Didn't leave me a coin
For passage into hell
Eternal ringing of bells
Wait at Charon's shore
Lit, always smoking a cigarette

Could this really be? You're a specter to me,
and speculation makes me think you might not be gone anymore.
Ain't it a laugh you just can't vocalize?
If I walk through you, do you feel alive?
Should I talk to you, can you read my mind?
Are you just electricity caught behind my eyes?
Nothing there I see, are you showing my skeptical thought process
that you may not have egressed with the summer.
If I walk through you, do you feel alive?
Should I talk to you, can you read my mind?
Ain't it a laugh you just can't vocalize?

I can hear you with me, I
I can hear you with me, I
I can feel you with me, I
I can feel you with me, I
Can you, can you feel the hair rising
Can you feel the doors moving
Can you, can you feel the crack of the window
Can you feel the crack of the window
On your shoulder
Outside the dogs are howling
And my bones are shivering
