Originally released as a split 7" Single with Rick Redbeard on Gerry Loves Records, July 2012. (Also appears on the album `Imaginary Walls Collapse', 2013).

lyrics

Is it strange that
the light from the candle
has brought you
back to mind?

Through the curtain
I trace the outline
of your teenage poltergeist

You had tapes of
him crying all night
by your bedside cabinet
that you played for
the priests and skeptics
on your father's old cassettes

Is it true that
the sound of vanishing tanks
follows you around?
You can see their
tracks as they tear
their way above
the ground
Give them purpose:
A life of languish
in a parsonage of sleet
Will you keep all
my footfalls in a bed
of broken sleep?

Won't let you walk your way
won't let you walk your way
won't let you walk your way
out of here now... (X3)

Won't let you walk your way
won't let you walk away-hey-yay
away-hey-yay!
