Joe Davis I saw it all begin from here. I fell in love at first listen and have been along for the ride ever since. I'm glad to see them still trekking along even after all the sorrow.

This album never ceases to grow. Clearly this House lies on Ash Tree Road. Favorite track: Coughin' Party.

Sophia Mariano Haunted Houses will always be one of my favorites. This is the first album that really got me into the local South FL scene and exposed me to Ghost Cat and all the other great bands that have so much talent. Favorite track: Coughin' Party.

"Haunted Houses brings me back a few years— like early Hot Cross, but happier, more anthemic." Favorite track: Coughin' Party.

we fall like bridges to the water, smiling like nothing ever hurt, it's just the fading to the darkness, should I fight to keep breathing, I am the atrophy in the sentence and we're blowing in the wind my dear, if you can't be the one for my pockets, then I'll be the one for your feathers; as our anemic love coats the sky, I'll always keep repeating, it's the bones that keep me standing, when my muscles start to shake, stay in me, I couldn't paint the picture, that threw our home away, if you can't be the one for my pockets, I'll be the one for your feathers, if i could break these ribs, that no longer fill me, I'd dive head first off the free way, my friends open doors to make sure I'm not trying to sleep my life away, what can I do with all this rain, I've been hiding for days, and I'm losing it's the same, if I was a, you'd b leaving, and I'm so blue, guess you never knew, how the light adjusted my thoughts, M says don't stop smiling, don't stop, if you can't be the one for my pockets

Let me take your heavy heart, we're still screaming at the waves and if heaven disapproves, we'll bury god under his weight And it's breaking me, it's breaking me how we're breaking our eyes for better ways to say, "see me, save me, I'm dying" so I'm saving my heart from every single word, alone? well I've been alone! like the nights in the hospital, nightfall So tear along the flesh, we'll seperate the bone, oh heaven forbid I should ever find sleep, or even my home So breathe in for safety we still sink in the sea, "above and below is just so"mething I say Above and below! Feel the floor as we fade And it's breaking me, it's breaking me how we're breaking our eyes for better ways to say, "see me, save me, I'm dying" so I'm saving my heart from every single word, alone? well I've been alone! like the nights in the hospital, nightfall They grab our hands, take us away into the breeze we sway, above the trees, above the clouds, I'm at ease Hope wraps my thoughts into knots screaming "Come my way" It's not me, it's not me, it's these roots that tangle me And I painted pretty pictures, of the time I spent at sea, you sea, I've got proof yet you'd never believe me Away to the ocean, away to the sea sick of ambers and oranges those skies always looked grey to me

I'm a grave, and we're buried for memory passing the streets I learned to breathe, and it's grave when I've hidden all this time These sheets stay shut from the shutters frame in time, adjust the aperture and I'm weightless look at me, the fragile frame of a boy, who fought the world Again we fall as the light flashes, and we're breathing slowly if I gave the sun the chance to breathe, I'd have no motivation, to forgive the ticking of time Like fish to the sea and we're staring at wrists, "yours were so perfectly defined..." Well I'm all out, done partin' my teeth for your pretty sleep my words stay held like the calloused lines, etched deep in your bones so I shake So I shake as they prode through my skin, how do we live when our home starts collapsing? Somewhere I wrote it in Las Cruces Above the same tree tops, the way we fell asleep, tie my words to honest confessions, I gave my worth in pennies and pictures, painted shorelines I hated Reminisced on happiness we know that has faded And through the ambulance window, I never pictured myself fading Like the cities I've slept with, like the people I've laughed with, like the happiness I'm promised, like the love that's never honest I'm slowly losing my patience
4.
We're like keys in these unforgiving seas, and you're shaking from your skeleton I've never seen you this much at ease, you wrote about your sickness eating away at your bones And your words fall, I hope you find your way back home without the shivers and endless banter I won't fear the sickness in your eyes, just the comforting tone and we're all alone I never had the desire to take on heaven, or have the desire to believe in it Nothing's the matter with me Show me bright eyes as we shake in the dark where do we go when we're paving lefts concrete and asphalt I carry your heart to the seams in my chest and we all breathe alone show me pretty lives where we only die I am an endless sea of empty vessels drowning in shards of glass and I find it hard to be this existence, the monument of a greater man and I remember you'd take us out to see And I take every second away I hide the quality of light and capture the shadow I'm living through my bones I couldn't begin to imagine, you'd understand reading this
