about

A ghost story set at a once-opulent but now rundown hotel. Based on a true story, except for the part about the ghost. Ghosts aren't real.

lyrics

We walked the hotel hall
Past empty swimming pools
“I swam there once,” you told me
“Seems so long ago”

You fly over the mountain
To the big sky you race
Running or returning
It’s you you can’t escape

Who broke your brittle heart?
The one who swore to love
Ghostling, you’re a sad dream
You haunt this waking life

You fly over the mountain
(The mountain)
To the big sky you race
Running or returning
(Returning to me?)
It’s you you can’t escape

You fly over the mountain
(The mountain)
To the big sky you race
Running or returning
(Returning to me?)
It’s you you won’t escape
