Is The Spirit Here Lyrics - Noe Venable

You're tuning out like a snowy television 

You're turning into something you don't understand 

Caught amongst the hungry ghosts 

Fluttering in windows 

Caught amongst the hungry ghosts that take you by the hand 

You used to dream that you would meet a stranger 

You used to dream that one day 

You would catch a whale 

But now you walk alone 

It is not a walk through pansies 

Where did it go? 

Is the spirit here? 

No 

Broken bottles broken bones 

She had a man who used to beat her 

Don't let anybody know 

Heavy hands, hair of cedar 

And they come and use you up 

And then leave you where they found you 

'til you sigh and let it go 

Is the spirit here? 

Definitely no 

Swollen bellies hungry souls 

Swollen cities hungry nation 

Their opinions are a crutch 

For a dead imagination 

Empty eyes and broken homes 

And I wonder, have I joined them? 

Well at least I'm not alone 

Is the spirit here? 

Definitely no 

Like a flatline, without pain 

Like a doctor who keeps talking 

Catch a bottle full of rain 

Like a robot I went walking 

Then the roof came flying off 

Like a border open wide 

Like a flower where you died 

Like a sinister banister slide 

Into the minds 

Of the houses you've abandoned 

Through a sea of shattered lives 

Like a swan without my pride 

Like a monster in a dress 

Near forgotten left a mess 

Like the only one you can't impress 

Is the spirit here? 

Yes
