The Strawman

from The Ambassador EP by Western Haunts

/

lyrics

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.

about

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.
