Noe Venable - Is the spirit here lyrics

rate me

You're tuning out like a snowy television

You're turning into something you don't understand

Caught amongst the hungry ghosts

Fluttering in windows

Caught amongst the hungry ghosts that take you by the hand

You used to dream that you would meet a stranger

You used to dream that one day

You would catch a whale

But now you walk alone

It is not a walk through pansies

Where did it go?

Is the spirit here?

No

Broken bottles broken bones

She had a man who used to beat her

Don't let anybody know

Heavy hands, hair of cedar

And they come and use you up

And then leave you where they found you

‘til you sigh and let it go

Is the spirit here?

Definitely no

Swollen bellies hungry souls

Swollen cities hungry nation

Their opinions are a crutch

For a dead imagination

Empty eyes and broken homes

And I wonder, have I joined them?

Well at least I'm not alone

Is the spirit here?

Definitely no

Like a flatline, without pain

Like a doctor who keeps talking

Catch a bottle full of rain

Like a robot I went walking

Then the roof came flying off

Like a border open wide

Like a flower where you died

Like a sinister banister slide

Into the minds

Of the houses you've abandoned

Through a sea of shattered lives

Like a swan without my pride

Like a monster in a dress

Near forgotten left a mess

Like the only one you can't impress

Is the spirit here?

Yes
