about

Ever lightly stalked someone from your past (or worse, a partner's past) on the internet? No? Me neither.
And I definitely have never written a song* about it... are you nuts?

*I present to you "haunt," the demo. A well-disguised, re-imagined, grown-up take on a brain baby I had in 2015. Recorded this year, all in one go on my iPhone 8, straight into the voice memo app (and then converted into WAV with the help of another app).

Happy Bandcamp Friday, you crazies. <3
-Burnsie

lyrics

V1
Can't keep my mind off of yours,
won't keep my eyes to myself.
Every day I check in, you're checked out.
I still feel the same, and I think I'm sorry -
But I don't know what for.

Chorus:
Absolutely no remorse.
No going back to the way it was before.
There's no comfort in separation,
when each smile is confirmation.
Here you come to haunt me more.

V2
Can't stop these thoughts from racing,
no way to stop this heart from aching-
every day I watch but nothing's gonna change.
I'm so distracted, and the matter-of-fact is
it's left me tired and worn.

With absolutely no remorse.
No going back to the way it was before.
There's no comfort in separation.
Each smile is confirmation.
Here it comes to haunt me more.

Bridge
I'm sick.
It's twisted
that I've replaced
this distance
with over-eager attempts
to keep you alive,
alive.

With absolutely no remorse.
No going back to the way it was before.
There's no comfort in isolation.
Each smile is confirmation.
Here you come to haunt me more x4..
