ABOUT /

Taken from EJECT: Archives + Demos 2004-2014 album.
Recorded around 2009. Me and my good friend David Harrison, who used to play keys in my touring band circa (2005), produced this home demo.
The original song had a different ending but I cut it off by accident, so we went with this version.
The lyrics are about my first home, which wasn't a very nice place. It's a song about my childhood I guess.

lyrics

LYRICS /

Did somebody close the window
Disconnect the dots and let the rain in
I sold all my trust for Bibles 
I read until my eyes span round like carousals

This starved and empty house, I know
But certainly, the walls they care for me

It's a strong man that draws the line
But I'm not that strong most of the time
This castle could fall to the ground 
So I burned down the walls to make it disappear 

This starved and empty house lights up like a firework.
And starts to empty out all my sins

And so the fire slows as broken leaves begin leaves begin to go out too
And it's clear, I'm not what I seem
And so flowers go, as woken birds begin to go
In time all this love should open our eyes
All this love should open our eyes

But you didn't wanna ask any questions, did you?
