Volunteers

Volunteers by hallofghosts

"Volunteers" is the second track to be mixed from the upcoming LP. It's a fairly uptempo rock tune with a bit of a soul feel to it.

I am a volunteer in this life 
giving myself without return
there's nothing answered in me

I am a translator of your heart
open sky and empty road
this is what we planted

I'll not come up for air
a grey-blue abyss
like an empty kiss

We are all just volunteers
fighting a lost cause
as a lifetime rolls out to the past
I know this will last
I know we will last

I am a visitor to your dreams
even though we'll never meet
you'll feel me living on through you

I am an evergreen on this hill
weather was never my enemy
not when I had you near to me

I'll not come up for air
a grey-blue abyss
like an empty kiss

We are all just volunteers
fighting a lost cause
as a lifetime rolls out to the past
I know this will last
I know we will last

I'll hear you singing
in an unlocked room
your smile is with me always
i'll hold on tight so you won't let go
don't leave me on my own
don't leave me on my own

We are all just volunteers
Here we are

We Are Finally Happy For Standing Still

Hall of Ghosts - We Are Finally Happy For Standing Still by hallofghosts


Mixing has begun. The first track I'm working on is a rocky pop song, "We Are Finally Happy For Standing Still". This was one of the first new songs written for Hall Of Ghosts. I'll post the track up here soon :

In a glass house
there is room to run out
there is space to believe

Early morning dust
to the daylight thrust
this is something I need

And now I'm ready
I think I'm ready

Sing out loud
it's getting simpler now
I disappear in a horseless town

How old are we?
inside a photograph
we live again where the pages part

And now I'm ready
I think I'm ready

We are finally happy for standing still
I can feel myself loving you
we are finally living 
for going nowhere
and this is us I'm talking about

On the far frontier
where the message is clear
we'll hibernate 'til the summer breaks

Give me endless air
hold me into the chair
I'm given all unto gravity

And now I'm ready
I think I'm ready

We are finally happy for standing still
I can feel myself loving you
we are finally living
for going nowhere
and this is us I'm talking about

I was lonely out on the rail
slowly coming undone
but you helped me change
yeah, you changed me
