Spell Of Hearts

{chiming guitar harmonics, haunted piano,

soft choir pad, distant bells,

vinyl haze}

Red moon bleeding through the blinds Rain writes your name in silver

lines Old photograph, your crooked smile I keep it burning for a

while The streets are flooded,

headlights swim Every reflection looks like him I taste the storm,

I hear your voice Like loving you was never choice {close-mic'd airy

female vocal, controlled low delivery}

And I know, I know Some ghosts wear your skin

When the city goes quiet

You come flooding in

(ahhhh) {subtle vocal chops,

warped syllables, rising sub-bass tension} You turned my pain into a spell

Now every kiss is heaven,

every breath is hell

Under the red moon,

drowning in blue I keep coming back,

coming back to you

You made a cathedral out of my chest Left your hands where

my heart should rest If this love is a curse,

let it pull me through I’d drown in the flooded streets for

you {devastating melodic release,

layered vocal harmonies, big tom drums,

swelling guitars} Your shadow sleeps inside the glass A midnight film I

can’t outlast The bells ring low across the block Like heaven lost

its only clock I wear your silence like a chain

Gold and cold against the rain

You say forever like a lie

So beautiful I let it die

{subtle delay on vocal,

deep room drums continue} And I know,

I know You’re the ache I defend When the city starts shaking

I let you in again

(mmm-mmm) {warped syllables, slow filter

sweep on

drums} Red moon / your name / rain glass

Old love / no sleep / come back Hold me / haunt

me / don’t speak Your spell / in me / too deep

{whispered vocal chops, skewed audio snippets,

fragile piano and vinyl crackle}

You turned my pain into a spell

And I still wear it like a halo when I’m by myself

Under the red moon,

drowning in blue

Every road in this dead city leads to you

You made a cathedral out of my chest Now the choir sings

where my heart should rest If this love is a curse,

I’ll let it come true

I’d drown in the flooded streets—

I’d drown in the flooded streets—

For you

{devastating melodic climax, soaring layered vocals,

massive cinematic drum hits} {reversing vocal fragments fading out,

final lonely piano chord,

rain soundscape}
