Walking the long way home in broad daylight
That’s the address I’ll always recognize
I push the door and I am home at last
Familiar as I remember

You’ll never know
I still live on
I will remain a stain on your wall
Air that sticks to your skin
And clothes you’re bringing home
I know that it haunts you too
It haunts you

Don’t you forget me
I won’t forgive you
Swimming in the deep place
Tucked behind your mind space
Keep thinking of me
Nowhere for running
I live on to spite you
Endlessly
Endlessly

It Haunts You

Sidewinder is a late-night song for people who replay conversations in their head on the drive home.
lyrics
Lyrics:

So come down my sidewinder...

She was my pisces queen
I gave her everything she took from me
But straight jackets and wide-eyed dreams
I just kept thinking about too many things

Sidewinder, you were my friend
I gave you everything I had back then
Broken nights and neon lights
You thought you had it, but you had nothing

So come down my sidewinder
I went miles and miles just to find you
I’ll tell you what you thought i never knew
I went miles and miles just to find you

So come now you know the score
You thought you had it but you wanted more
Sidewinder you were my friend
I gave you everything I had back then

So come down my sidewinder
I went miles and miles just to find you
I’ll tell you what you thought i never knew
I went miles and miles just to find you

So come down my sidewinder
I went miles and miles just to find you
I’ll tell you what you thought i never knew
I went miles and miles just to find you
I went miles and miles just to find you
I went miles and miles just to find you

Ghosts was recorded live with minimal overdubs in late February 2025 at Test Tube Audio in Austin, TX.

Kevin Butler (Black Books, Reddening West) engineered and produced all five songs on Ghosts.

The award-winning artist Billie Buck (Austin Chronicle) designed the album artwork based on the concept behind the songs: an inability to escape the past or make sense of the present.

Aaron Winston (vocals, guitar) trades call-and-response with Dylan Hill’s (Mamalarkey) hazy leads, anchored by Justin Winslow’s melodic bass and Wes Armstrong’s (Half Dream) brush-kit groove.

After playing together since 2021, the quartet has developed a unique sound that’s grounded in imagistic lyrics and gritty guitars.

Lyrics: 

And I said, hey sister sister, You’ve got love on your mind
Haven’t called in a while, I hope everything is all right
Tell me again oh what’s on your mind
And hey sister sister, everything will be just fine

Well I ain’t never been to Paris
But I’ve lived in Austin, Texas
And I’ll tell you something you should know

On those hot summer nights
In red with white stripes 
You could give me a microphone

And with eyes like thunder 
She told you to come over
You know sometimes that’s how it goes

Well I could be your only friend
Even when things gets strange
You would be my little saint
Well my name is Russel Taine

And you know she came in 
With her Rorschach grin
She wanna tell you how it is 

But you were looking for chance
And some cheap romance
You know you want that good shit

Well you know you can try to run fast
but the past it comes back 
Sometimes that’s just how it is

Well I could be your only friend

And I said, hey sister sister, you’ve got love on your mind
Haven’t talked in a while, I hope everything is all right
Tell me again oh what’s on your mind
And hey sister sister, everything will be just fine

Well I could be your only friend
Even when things get strange
You would be my little saint
My name is Russel Taine

And I said, hey sister sister, you’ve got love on your mind
Haven’t talked in a while, I hope everything is all right
Tell me again oh what’s on your mind
And hey sister sister, everything will be just fine

And everything will be just fine
And everything will be just fine
And everything will be just fine
And everything will be just fine

And everything will be …

LYRICS
Well she got tired of my jokes
she told me things I didn’t want to know
But before that, we made love
in the backseat of a car

And now these are the memories
that drive me mad when i try to sleep
So I sit out on this porch
I smoke and drink till I feel a ghost

Well so it goes, it all ends
all in time or it’s been said
so it is but i will mend
i won’t break but i sure bend

And I still cry

Lord I will survive
Lord I am still alive
The days they pass me by
Lord I am still alive

I read a book about japan
How when the bombs hit all was burned land
Shadows were all that were left
in a nightmarish remembrance

And I still cry

Lord I will survive
Lord I am still alive
The days they pass me by
Lord I am still alive

Well so it goes, it all ends
all in time or it’s been said
so it is but i will mend
i won’t break but i sure bend

And I still cry

Lord I will survive
Lord I am still alive
The days they pass me by
Lord I am still alive

Lord I will survive
Lord I am still alive
The days they pass me by
Lord I am still alive
