Noe Venable - Is The Spirit Here lyrics

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
