about

Recorded in our living room one afternoon. Demo of a song called The Prison Ships.................

Song is about a dear friend of ours that fought hard for many years against cancer but time came for him to go. He taught us what it is to be a true friend.

lyrics

I'm locked by these chains
I'm bound by the sea
but I'm loved by the moon
No one else here but me
the stars guide me right
but I'm cursed by the sea

I give up the ghost
(you give up/you give up)
I give up the ghost
(you give up the ghost)
But my body
Oh my body will embrace
the sky

In the eye of the storm
My body floats on
straight and steady
and the wind starts
to move
the waves start to crash
and fall on me

I give up the ghost
(you give up/you give up)
I give up the ghost
(you give up the ghost)
But my body
Oh my body will embrace
the sky

The people you love
become memories
under my skin
under my skin

The people you love
become memories
under my skin
under my skin

Become a ghost in me

I gave up the ghost
I gave up the ghost
But my body
Oh my body
will embrace
the sky

about

The Prison Ships Phoenix, Arizona

--Our songs tend to drift back and forth into dark territory usually the lyrics get preoccupied with mortality and death- -

This side project was nothing more than that... these songs were never meant to see the light of day but
numerous songs have been collected behind the scenes over the past year and recently been resurrected through loss and hardships.
