lyrics

Sister, please, the moon has risen, the stars have taken the sky. Sister, please, your breath is so cold, your skin is pale as a ghost.
But you can't move when you're sleeping, and that's when they come for you, isn't it?
Sister, please, you've got to tell us what happened to you that night. Sleeplessly, we hear you wander about the hallways at night.
Together we're slain wide awake.
And a flash of your life came as quickly as it went away. Imagine what neighbors would say. "Thank god it wasn't us."
A house that burns in the middle of winter, and a murderer struck at night. Yesterday there were gunshots down the street, can you believe?
People say a virus is spreading that brings you peace 'till you die. Others say that God is saying that Heaven is on its way, and it's such a wonderful place.
And some call it a nightmare; the face doesn't show what it sees. Misery and happiness, and in between.
And you cannot feel anything at all except for the times of all of your pain, and you suffer again, and suffer to your grave, and they say that we bring this upon ourselves. We do it to ourselves.
Sister, we have seen the pictures from coroner’s reports. Your eyes are red like crimson candles above soft smiling lips, and forever they sleep.
Again, it happens again.
Somehow, we'll make it through. Somehow.
Sing a requiem for me, and play it out 'till the end.

Songs For A Solstice
by Garrett Botkins

Garrett has a really great sense of melody; I very often find myself thinking I would have chosen the exact same chords for his songs, or am jealous I didn't think of them first. Pete Davis

Oh, These Indistinct Years of You.
by Schedule of No Plan

Nick Steinborn, guitarist of the Wonder Years, has lots of recording experience. He also has lots of great ideas and a loop pedal. He's also a friend of mine. He'd be my first pick for dream band. Pete Davis
