about

You’ve only ever seen them in pictures online — old photos from a different time but somehow you've fallen in love without ever knowing them. The photos are so old they're probably not even alive anymore but you can't deny it, the feeling is overwhelming. Maybe they reached through the RGB of the computer screen, across time and space to manifest just for you. Maybe they've been searching for someone to appreciate their pretty ghost. Now who's the lucky one?

lyrics

Is this a fever dream
wrapped up in Ketamine
this quiet fantasy
now you're floating over me

Or you just miss the space
around a friendly face
so you solidify
for another devil to chase

You're such a pretty ghost

They didn't love you when they could
when they could, yeah
so now we're spinning, crazy spinning in the distance you glow

The screen is red now
the screen is green now
the screen is blue now
spinning in the distance you glow

You are
coffee
on my lips
quiet
mourning
all that we missed

you're such a pretty ghost

So come and lift me out my bed
out my bed, yeah
and now we're dancing, crazy dancing like my chances tonight

I'm not just an empty shell
inside this blue hell
you know me so well
dancing like my chances tonight

You are
coffee
on my lips
quiet
mourning
all that we missed

You're such a pretty ghost
