Recorded at Mystery Ton Studios in Monrovia, MD

Mixed & Mastered by Douglas Harris

lyrics

My spine is weakening
Shriveled and brittle from the cold
The wind is strengthening
Quickening, harder, more bitter against my skin

The dust settles in the air
In a moment suspended in time
I can't be the only one to see this
Chaos meets symmetry

And suddenly I'm swept away
Been sleeping, been craving this light
I observe these particles
They sit in congruence with the shape of this shine
With the shape that I find

The dust settles in the air
In a moment suspended in time
I can't be the only one to see this
Chaos meets symmetry

The window pane sings warmth through my veins
It peeks in past the shades in harmony with the glow you create
My shutters mutter in the breeze

Oh, the shadows have grown long
As the day wanes away
And the night beckons through the evening
The light guides me through...
Through the doorway, past the moonlight
Into ghostly corridors, long abandoned by phantom pain
I turn this key and enter a threshold left lonely
With only the dust as its company

Hang your sheet up on the hook in the hall
After every nightly haunt
And saunter on through solid walls
To brood on the man you once were

I'm ghost riding my body

The dust, it settles in the air
In a moment suspended in time
I can't be the only to see this
Chaos meets symmetry

Now, we're sweeping through the afternoon
Through the light that calms the cold
