Standing in these ruins that we left
I thought our love could last beyond death
How can I mourn while you still draw breath?
I’ll drink from the waters of the Lethe
Your fingers tangled in my hair
Reach out to touch you but find only air
Like missing a step as I climb the stairs
How could you scorn a gift so rare
This house I haunt was never home
Expect me to draw blood from stone
I’ve had enough you’re on your own
Now burn me down to ash and bone
Obsession’s just a phase of grief
You kept me drowning in your sea
A shipwreck shattered on a reef
If I could I’d drag you down with me
Accepting love without emotion
Feeling my heart break in slow motion
Bury my grief in the depths of the ocean
Epitaph in memory of false devotion
This house I haunt was never home
Expect me to draw blood from stone
I’ve had enough you’re on your own
Now burn me down to ash and bone
You loved me
You loved me
You left me
From ashes to ashes
I’m fading
It can’t be, so help me
So help me
This house I haunt was never home
Expect me to draw blood from stone
I’ve had enough you’re on your own
Now burn me down to ash and bone
The earth is scorched
You’ve done your worst
We can’t go back
This place is cursed
It's uncanny just how good Actors is at emulating that Post-Punk synth sound from my younger days.
Each listen just gets better and better. I feel slightly ashamed for not having heard this album until a few short days ago. modestwriggles
The gothy songs on the latest EP from Raven Ives are full of haunting shadows, with ghostly vocals drifting through an ocean of synth. Bandcamp New & Notable May 23, 2022
