man, walk beside me
in shadows sidelong glance
never dead-on stare
for your razor-tease my arms are bare
persephone
teeth sting sweet and eyes closed
in the love of blood
stupor of a quaalude dream
ride tequila acid wave
hold my hand in powder stream
to get me through
mortality alone
or eternity with you
mortality alone
or eternity with you
persephone
persephone yeah
and if you kiss me forever
if you kiss me with your forever lips
if you kiss me forever
i'll be forever yours

she's got a window,
it's got a small frame,
she's got a view,
of what she always sees,
what she believes is there,
but there's blood in the basement,
blood in the alley,
there's blood on her hands,
she cant see.
he's got mirror,
a crack in his door,
he peers through to see,
the world is ugly,
but theres nothing he can do about it.
the hole in the roof,
these crumbling walls,
this house is falling apart,
theres nothing we can do,
nothing we can do.
if theres blood in the basement,
blood in the alley,
theres blood on our hands,
we can't see.
no I cant see,
no its not safe,
and no Im not proud of this blood.
there's heat in my mouth,
there's blood in my veins,
my love.
there's heat in my mouth,
blood in my veins,
my love.
oh there's heat in my mouth,
there's blood in my veins,
my love.

this house
is full
of insects and rodents
i shiver
in my sleep
i shiver as they creep
hey sneaky little friend
come and chomp on me again
come and eat me
up again
ba de la de la de la
ba de la de la de la
ba de la de la de la ha-ah ah
you're too tiny
to see
but you're
penetrating deep
you're infiltrating me
and to stay alive,
you've contrived a plan to
confiscate my land
and fill it up with sand
ba de la de la de la
ba de la de la de la
ba de la de la de la ha-ah ah
i'm tired
of being
food for the
enemy and I'm
fighting back with might
i'm coming
for you
termite
i'm coming
for you

now i've got
your voice in my head
i've got
your weight on my chest
tear free; i don't wanna be
your girl
do you stay
cuz i run away
do I look pretty
from so far away
maybe if you
don't look at me
don't look at me
la-la-la-la la-la-la-la-la
la-la-la-la la-la-la-la-la
i don't wanna be
your girl
we kissed but then we missed the point
i'm not here to sign something
if i leave tomorrow
if i leave next year
would you still be here
still be here
when you lie at my feet
do you want me kick you
or lie down beside you
oh-ho
you lie at my feet
and you want me to kiss you
you know I won't
no I won't
we kissed but then we missed the point
i'm not here to sign something
if i leave tomorrow
if i leave next year
would you still be here
still be here
you lie at my feet
and you want me to kiss you
you know I won't
no I won't
you lie at my feet
and you want me to kiss you
but i don't wanna be your girl

Lauren Hoffman Los Angeles, California
music is exceptionally useful for communicating the nuance and complexity of the human experience because it is an emotional language, we process and respond to it in a different way than thoughts, beyond the limits of linguistics. that's why it's special and mysterious and i love it. that's why i write and sing and play instruments and make records. that's why i share my songs with you. ... more

Family Ghost
by Lauren Hoffman and the Secret Storm
supported by 7 fans who also own “The Chemist Said It Would Be Alright But I've Never Been The Same (EP)”
Not a single track to choose as a favourite. There's so much to discover - energy, truth, beauty. This lady ought to be a huge star. And she is - for me.

I Was Born Swimming
by Squirrel Flower
supported by 4 fans who also own “The Chemist Said It Would Be Alright But I've Never Been The Same (EP)”
Absolutely brilliant, dreamy indie folk-rock. Most of the songs are somewhere between two and three minutes but feel as though they last a lifetime (in a good way). Beautifully heart-wrenching from beginning to end.

The renditions of these songs are so beautiful and raw. While I love the originals, these stripped down versions show so much feeling from Laura and it just pierces your soul. Love love love. Thanks!

Waiting for the Sky to Speak
by Oropendola
Chamber pop with lyrics that are alternately wry and confessional, Oropendola creates whole worlds built on purposeful keyboard melodies.

This debut from the Paris-based American artist showcases his genre-fluid sound.

Disarm 10th Anniversary Demos & Rarities
by She Makes War
supported by 4 fans who also own “The Chemist Said It Would Be Alright But I've Never Been The Same (EP)”
And so it began ... A collection of thoughts and demos going back twenty years, not all of which ended up on the album. There's some wonderful stuff here. And by the way, I find this alternative version of ghostsandshadows genuinely spooky, and I'm right alongside spooky.
