Ghost Lyrics - FolkAF
Perhaps I’ll walk away now not much more to say now
my heart, heart, heart, can’t take much more of this.
If I go away now, they will still remain now, footfalls of friends or colleagues.
I’ve been a Ghost so many times now,I guess, it’s sad to say.
When the feelings get too great now, I want to fade away.
Perhaps they’ll talk about me, It don’t matter to me, I won’t hear it, anyways. Soon they’ll forget about, fading memories, Like dreams, they always slip away.
I’m getting older, now, the feelings never change, I’m tired, of this game. No more burning bridges, here I Will remain, Tomorrow, will be a better day.

A Sailor’s Repose - FolkAF
A sailor crosses the Ocean, seeking new verve for repose.
He hears a sweet song across the seaway, from a voice he has searched for so long.
He turns his craft towards an island, one never charted before.
He spies on the rocks, a fair maiden, hair flowing like the waves of the sea.
Her beautiful voice called him forward, Knowing he would give all he had. He boldly joined in her chorus, With a voice he knew not he had.
His ship hit the rocks towards destruction, but his doom he did not despair. The hungry waves did consume him, but the Mermaid, greeted him there.
Her sweet salty kiss freeded is body To become to become what he longed for to be. He knew that he never would leave there, For this was song without end.

Exhale, Discover - FolkAF
Late night duck out
Turn my thoughts to the sidewalk
Neon electric fireflies for the backyard
22 in a straight line walk in beat to the odd time
Shoe treads damp ground ethanol to the city's heart
Heavy air and towers graphing the skyline
Escape pending quiet down a cycling mind
There are secrets the city keeps
I’m taking the answers
Side streets wrong turns a studied lack of commitment
Black bags crts a gathering of discarded
Eyes look down into open palms
haptic ushers for silence
Warm light swam down washing over the concrete floor
Cracked caps backpack aerosol death rattles
trespass suggestions an afterthought for the curb cuz
There are secrets the city keeps
I’m taking the answer

Stowaway - FolkAF
twilight’ll kill this burning ocean air
my hood I draw close my back against the wind
Whispers rumor of the valley there It’s marked It’s known
If there’s torches o’er the ridge it’s too late
The steamer presses forward kicking all this glass in it’s wake
Accelerate with the threat of the absent sun
In the distance lie the the towns that you stole from,
all the tired backs you insisted to climb on
Over the sand through deceptive night skies
Dynamite for the other side
Ride it out for a while in the end we’ll win
They store their guns they build their walls
and then they sat with their safe
Yea, from the high deck they look down
How well do you know the crew How did you treat your friends
Have the rest of us kept tally these years
Over the sand through deceptive night skies
Dynamite for the other side
Ride it out for a while in the end I’ll win

Where I Dwell – FolkAF
I built me a house, now I, dwell in, It’s marvel of construction, and it suits my personality
I built me a house, now I, fell safe in it. I think it’s perfect, perhaps I’ll never leave.
I threw in a couch, and a color TV, Everything I need for a soft reality. The world outside’s a threat, that’s plain to see, When I’m in my house, no one can harm me.
When I’m in my house, I’m a comfy as can be, As the World gets dark, it don’t matter to me. The walls are built of stone, and the windows iron barred, When the World’s aflame, here I will remain.
Now my TV doesn’t work, and the walls are closing in, I’m sitting in the dark, now the monsters are within. I go to pull the door, but I find it’s rusted shut, Little did I know a tomb is what I built.
