Run through the market like wild hungry children of cannibal criminals free like the flood
With their silver silver tongues.
You draw a line in the sand hand in hand with the bandits who ran in the name of the cross
Crooked albatross
You can rely on. Bandits light the…
Capitol Fires
From the sleeping shepherd
You can rely on. Fools gold
Are you one of us? On a wire
Spark a fight in us. In the fire
Where do I stand? Where do I cross?
Where will I land? Is it all lost?

Cairo

I can see your colors running
Fire on a bed that’s burning
Silence all your children’s laughter
Cairo it’s the morning after
Standing on our shoulders pharaoh
Line them up and sling your arrows
Mired in ancient river narrows
Flood the street with all our marrow
In halls of elders we’ll bloom our shelter
Tear the gates down and flower the seeds of spring

The Strawman

All my mistakes. In your eyes.
Cuts like a blade. In your side.
Ghosts in the grain, fire on the plain side
Voicing the lie, read off the page lines
Halls we haunted, all forgotten
You can’t have it either way from behind a veiled lie
Singed your wings like a moth from a flame
You’re a strawman’s shame inside
All my disdain, fire inside
Placing the blame, wounded pride.
Lighthouse in flames, sirens song wains, cries
Rising black tides, drowned suit and tie
All I wanted, all eyes on
Straw man in the gallows, a hangin’ on
All our shadows, a carrion.

Blue Blooded

I’m blue blooded, born and bred too slow
The meager earnings, of the working droves
Sons of Lazarus born, debtor’s prison scorn
Burn their idols, restore the morgue
We’ll live off the tomb in the wake of, emptied trust
All our dimes in a well we’ll drain, inherit us
I’m blue blooded, on a pedestal
Like my father, just like his before
Courses my veins cold, heir to the throne I’ll grow
What I’ll inherit, I’ll cast as stones
Blood on loan, broken homes
We’re all losing blood
Our type, tangled up in the blood lines

Western Haunts Seattle, Washington
Western Haunts’ KEXP-approved dream-pop sound is a call to Midwestern revival, drenched in reverb and the haze of
psychedelia and shoegaze. Across two EPs and their recently-released debut album, the Seattle quartet have slowly sharpened their sweeping harmonics into something that’s nothing short of gorgeously gauzy.
