Liner Notes

Sapient:
When one of the original FAWMers messages you with lyrics like this, you sit up and take notice. To me there was just something so ethereal about these words, something deeply nagging and intense, like the remnants of a dream you just can't shake off.

When I came to write the music, the opening riff just arrived immediately, and the vibe was immediately set when I accidentally started using the wrong drum kit and it came out all weirdly shamanic...

fireball:
i've probably watched too much true crime. at the beginning of the month, i was slightly watching something about a murder prosecution with no body. i wrote the first lines. then later wrote about other body connections. only after giving the poemy part to sapient did i lean toward the ghosty part at the end.

Lyrics

without a body
there is no death
there is no end
without a breath

fragile vessel
essence within
locked as one
when they begin

on distillation
one or two?
or still entangled
some hidden glue

floating freely
the ghost unleashed
out of body
observes the beast

while undiscovered
Erwin’s grave
till prying witness
collapse the wave

without a body
there is no death
there is no end
without a breath

OUR GHOSTS ARE DOOMED TO ROAM THE EARTH
OUR GHOSTS ARE DOOMED TO ROAM THE EARTH
OUR GHOSTS ARE DOOMED TO ROAM THE EARTH
OUR GHOSTS ARE DOOMED TO ROAM THE EARTH

MY / YOUR / HIS / HER GHOST IS DOOMED TO ROAM THE EARTH
MY / YOUR / HIS / HER GHOST IS DOOMED TO ROAM THE EARTH
MY / YOUR / HIS / HER GHOST IS DOOMED TO ROAM THE EARTH
MY / YOUR / HIS / HER GHOST IS DOOMED TO ROAM THE EARTH
