from Ruins, released May 26, 2016
The wind is a voice
To a silent room
Where I bury my eyes
In pictures and their cold tombs.
And with a trembling hand I hold
The frame of a soul
Clutching my wrist
Loudly moaning

Photos of ghosts
Are speaking to me
Photos of ghosts

The walls are burnt
And the floor is cracked
A photo screams
Through the halls turning my blood to ash.
As far as my eyes can see
The bricks of my family
Are rocks in the road
Blowing softly

Photos of ghosts
Are speaking to me
Photos of ghosts

What’s dead shall be grown
Empty of beliefs torn from home.
What relief is in this place?
I’m stricken by a face
Which holds me down so I can see
Everything around me.
As the years become bones
And time takes my heart
There is a howling through the rain
What’s dead shall be grown through our pain.
