about

Special remix of "Hospital Song" by our good friend, Our Ghosts, to commemorate the one year anniversary of our album, Horse Stories + Personal Fables. <3

lyrics

Back before that afternoon
I was a different person
I could've sung any of these songs
Without knowing what the words meant
But now I can see this world
I can feel all of these strings
I've always felt connected
But now I drown in empathy

I guess that's the silver lining
I hope I've made you proud
I feel like I'm a better person
But it's hard to say out loud
Because in your final moments
You left a parting gift
I spent years all alone
And it gave me perspective

But even then I'd give it up
Every bit of character
Every drop of who I am
To spend one more day with her
I know I was a piece of shit
And I probably still am
But I'd regress a thousand lifetimes
If there was even a chance

That you would make it out
That I'd never see that room
The one inside that hospital
The one that became the tomb
Of all my expectations
The life I thought I had
Where I had to start all over
And build it up from scratch

Maybe I was happy the way I was
Oh, I still remember
Staying up all night without a care in sight
Just a twin-sized bed and a night light
But then life did what it does
And out of nowhere
The gnarled hand of a blood red man
Twisted and turned my everything
