This song was written towards the end of 2020 as part of a collaboration that was extremely productive but short lived.

Because things ended abruptly I kind of shelved this song since then, even though I was really proud of it.

I changed my mind though, and decided it was better to post the song on here rather than letting it rot away unheard.

The concept behind the song was the idea of a musician living in a post apocalyptic world and having to perform music for the ghosts of all the people who had died.

Lyrics

All I wanted and all I sought is now laid before me

With a twist I could have not imagined

Locked in step and screaming for the light

These eyes are gleaming

Whispered secrets from inside these walls

I hear them calling

I guess I yearn for the day I run

I'm summoning courage, I'm searching for my inspiration

The sprites and spirits that haunt me will be heard

Then I start to wonder, is there something broken in my head?

If I should displease them, will I see the morning?

I know you're gone

I know you're screaming

I guess I yearn for the day I run

I'm summoning courage, I'm searching for my inspiration

The sprites and spirits that haunt me will be heard

Dancing with the dead, it takes its toll on me

Singing for the ghosts around me saps my soul and it leaves me broken

I don't have a home anymore
