The veiled nun vents heyday vatic
Her merry mouth still moves like magic
He could shoot for the stars if they gave him more space
He could give you his heart and never show you his face
Let me be there in spirit cause I don’t want to go
Let me tell you I miss you through the fang of a ghost

The how of old is cold
How do you know you know?
The how of old is cold
How do you know you know?

The thousand mirrors subdue the vandal 
But they'll shadow box a lambent candle

He could row with one oar to the edge of the earth
He could bury the hatchet, and leave a jewel in the dirt
I don’t mean to be shy, I’m just here all alone 
Let me tell you "go fish”
Struck dumb for fools gold

The howl of old is cold
How do you know you know?
The howl of old is cold
How do you know you know?

In Spirit

This Is Nice. This Isn't Real.

Lyrics

Take a good look at this city of ruin
Classic portrayal of what you’re doing
To me

In ruins where we stood
Now just made of soot
Should have said hi
Instead of passing by

Soon we’ll rise up from the ashes
The rest of the world’s a pretty distraction
To me

In ruins where you stood
Now just made of soot
Never said hi
Instead I’m passing by

Never said hi
Instead I'm just passing

Lyrics

Here’s to a resolution
No longer causing confusion
I’m just a speak easy
But my words ain’t clear
Mumbling some poetry in your ear

No one ever talks about it
When it’s all so clear
Always causing a fuss about it
You don’t need to be nervous

There’s no retribution
Don’t look back
Formulating solutions 
Only to fail
You can’t help yourself 
When you’re someone else
An empty promise can only run for miles

No one ever talks about it
When it’s all so clear
Always causing a fuss about it
You don’t need to be nervous
