In the dead of night
Guided by candle light
Ghosts came in droves
And surrounded our homes
We saw right through them.
And they saw right through us.
The silence was broken
when their words cut right to the bone
We saw right through them.
And they saw right through us.
We ran for our lives.
They chased for the same.
We hid quiet and still
But they found us anyways
They dragged us out into the streets
Still wrapped in our blankets and sheets
Shivering softly,
We were swiftly erased
In the dead of night
And on our death bed

I came to, as salted sun kissed
air blew upon me
no need to worry
as blue sets to red
this house comes crashing,
crumbling down before me
a picture so serene
casting out to sea
the misty mountain peaks
reign above me
in all their glory
I've never seen such green
for Mother Nature swallows
up this city and
finally I can breathe
nothing lasts forever
the grass is always greener
walking this spiral path, as
water swiftly runs down below me
these buildings seem so small now
these roads I've drove for years
although at times they feel far too familiar
I think I'll stay awhile now
all I know is when I'm on the road
nothing compares to the comforts of home

An hour away for years
We'll dance on opposite sides
of the wreckage
Then pen touched paper and
all was lost
But we'll find it again
I'm not afraid to see your face
I know it's just a place
When we're young we all make
mistakes
But now we're older
With age comes sense and
tender grace
Let's just start over
An hour away for years
We've danced on opposite
sides of the wreckage
Then skin touched skin
And all was well
Relief came in seconds
When we're young we all make
mistakes
But now we're older
With age comes sense and
tender grace
Let's just start over

have you found your calling
familiar although hollow
as you pass me by
continuing to follow
with no real reason why
don't be so negative
maybe they feel the same
endorphins fueled by numbers
the ones that feed your pride
if you were to call us friends
they'd see straight through your lies
have you heard they're calling
i'll answer

I walked in at midnight to a smoke filled apartment.
Saw all my friends on couches or in blankets on the carpet.
I made my way through the hallway to the backroom. Your parent's bedroom.
I saw your face. It's safe to say, my knees are weak. I hadn't seen you in weeks.
We never know just where we're headed, but we know we're going home.
Home is where the heart is.
Well, my heart's in pieces,
strewn across the states.
My heart's in basements.
In different houses, in distant towns so far away.
Away from what makes you you in a place that does that too.
Feeling lately like please take me
Home.
Sometimes this city starts to look a little grey.
We need to leave for just a little while to see the colors shine again.
In every map and every exit sign, I see your face.
We've got to share what we've been given. Chase the beauty in the distance.
We're not lost. We just needed to roam.
Please leave the porch light on so we can find our way home.

when you're on your phone
you don't have to learn how to be alone
you're alone
your technology tricks your mind
you don't know what to believe
I believe
give it up (don't give up)
put it down (don't look down)
is this on (if it is)
turn it off
I have a question and two answers
why do we do things we know we shouldn't do
our devices are our vices
they're distracting me and you
when I'm in my head
I know that they're things I should do instead
but instead
my body tricks my mind and I can't even stop me
can't stop me
I have a question and two answers
why do we do things we know we shouldn't do
all our reasons they're unpleasing
they're distracting me and you
just do what you know you should do

Comforter Louisville, Kentucky
Cameron Cousins
Adam Duffy
Mike Higdon
Brandon Young
Comforter recommends:
It's hard to pick a favorite album with these guys, but this one is the most cohesive to me. The breakdown on Deficit, the melody of 1777, the shuffle on Burial, Chelsea Wolfe guest spot, could go on.

RIP but this band is another one of our favorites. Basically take these guys and Russian Circles and you'll have what we want to sound like haha. Check out One of Us and Everybody Come Outside.
