standing on a house of cards shakey from very the start be still, don’t you shake it be still, don’t you shake it standing on a house of cards this old floor could fall apart be still, don’t you shake it be still, don’t you shake it At night we pray to the stars all that fear won't stop your heart if you try escaping everything could fall apart standing on a house of cards standing on a house of cards be still, don’t you shake it be still, don’t you shake it standing on a house of cards standing on a house of cards be still, don’t you shake it be still, don’t you shake it see the light across the park as we wander in the dark warm wind blowing in the night stars fall across the sky watching as you slip away grabbing at you as you run away

In the Dark 03:50
I've waited for you for a thousand years the waiting the waiting all my desperate tears In the dark / in the sound Like the wind I'm invisible Like the sea I wash right out Like the earth you walk right over Just like fire I flicker out then you will finally come to me in the night just like a dream In the dark / in the sound Like the wind I'm invincible Like the sea I come crashing down Like the earth I last forever Just like fire I burn everything... ...to the ground In the dark / in the sound

Sea of Calm 03:51
Just over the crest / Just around the bend Just over the crest / Just around the bend Let go of the anchor Let go of the anchor / So we can find... CHORUS The sea of calm / in the eye of the storm / will we get to sleep when night falls? / Dreaming of the safe and warm, warm, warm, warm, warm, warm, warm The trauma and terror that you feel It's all too soon to know if you'll heal It's raining tears / It's more like a flood Don't become the propeller on the boat of blood REPEAT CHORUS The sea of calm... you can’t leave but you can’t stay as your whole life gets washed away If nothing is real / then are you sure dark images / and shaking fear REPEAT CHORUS x2 The sea of calm... Let go of the anchor

Ghosts and Shadows was founded by Gabriella Lawrence, Paul Wisner, KSushi (not her real name) and Steve Reynolds at a Halloween party. Paul had been playing guitar and writing songs for the Boston pop band Miskatonic; a band that Gabriella had been a member of for a short time. KSushi and Steve Reynolds had played together in the original lineup of the punk band Cheater Pint.

In 2016 KSushi decided to leave. Next Ghosts and Shadows was reincarnated by drummer Dean Fisher.

The original vision for Ghosts and Shadows was based on the early Cure records Faith and Seventeen Seconds... except with female vocals. The songs would incorporate surrealist themes and lyrics with sparse orchestration and moderate tempos. That was how it started.
