All alone and not amused Misconstrued and always blue I cannot forget what I found in you Here lays the book you read, same with life and pictures in your head We can still reach out no one else can teach us how time goes on to be Nothing due and no one used Simply cut, a manic bruise I can still see the light shine through We were young and still feared death Nothing like the night that we once bled Someone once told us life and death are shoreless Now you are one to see Was it worth dying for you? Same without lying for you, I can’t forgive the sun Was it worth lying for you? Same without dying for you, I can’t forgive the sun

Camera 03:34
All I ever want is here with you All I ever need is here with you A camera for a boy to hold you close And I can love you with a light touch I can pin you on my wall I can rest upon your shoulders I can live my life alone All I ever want is here with you All I ever need is here with you A camera for a boy to hold you close A picture for a boy to hold you close A picture for this girl to hold you close

Mary 03:53
Mary, you don't know what I'm fighting for When you run out the door That promise is broken now Eerie as the lies that you spew on floors But I'm older now and know that point was never made And I remember what you said that day But I can't remember how you walked away Mary, you don't know what I'm pining for how are lives are always torn off the page of our brother's life Eerie as the lies that you spit on floors But I'm wiser now and see that point was never made And I remember what you said that day But I cant remember how it burnt away. How it burnt away Mary, please.

Whole 05:54
A handful of fingers and eyes full of song You tried everything you could to fill the void in your heart And I tried to dissuade you Said they'll tear limb by limb But your time wasn't done here, we needed your soul and at least you went whole You never got to see the world So I'm gonna see it for you They never got to read your words So I'm gonna sing them for you They never got to hear your voice So I'm gonna sing it for you, For you And I hope you are happy I hope you've found peace It feels like you're somewhere extending your reach So I've one thing to ask you and new secret you hold But for your sake and mine, I'll ask a question so bold Well I just have to know... ...does God saved the damned?

The Tree 03:53
Now here she wonders what piece he glued Right in between the tree, right in between the tree It's nothing like she wanted, soaked in disappointment with me Up on the street, where we would love the heat, where we would love the heat We walked around ignoring, in love but still boring with ease It's such a breeze, So have a life without me, have a life without me There's no one left in mourning, nothing worth exploring on the tree So have a life without me, have a life without me There's no one left in mourning, nothing too important on the tree.

You put my love out the door You put my love out the door I rode out to your house And brought you a valentine and what did you do? You put my love out the door, You put my love out the door, out in the cold Now every February my heart gets sore, when I remember how you put my love out the door I sat in your living room, told you that I really loved you You said you didn't want to hear no more You put my love out the door, You put my love out the door, out in the cold I wrote something in the snow In front of your porch, I'm carrying a torch You put my love out the door, You put my love out the door, You put my love out the door, Out in the cold, Out in the cold, Out in the cold, Out in the cold.

Silver platter, unspun Crazy, happy, undone Special mission of fun, building blocks of reason to have none. Simple tailor, he threads all the voices in your head Erased from a picture you were never in, and every person gives a newer meaning to sin. Simplicity, come abounding Make me feel light as air A simple plea, simplicity, you always astound me Is it easy to play nice, or more electric to roll the dice? This box is already heavy, out of my hands and nothing really ever goes according to plan, my plan But you're searching to find it, a reason to spike it. So pass me the big knife If we're playing house I'll be Satan's wife. Simplicity, come abounding Make it feel light as air Tense as it may be, simplicity, you always astound me I'll cut you a deal, if you cut me a deal.

Black Heart 04:37
Black heart, there's no light left for you Black heart, there's no light left for you What would you say? What would you do if they came for you? What would you see? What would be if you never changed? Rearrange, change Black heart, there's no light left for you Black heart, there's no light left for you What would you say? What would you do if they came for you? What would you see? What would be if you never changed? Rearrange, change Black heart

Retrograde 06:25
Seen this before Colors transform, shape shifting Old tales have gone in ruins like time Desperate and withered, tell me how Retrograde has not been saved. My choice is clear No end is near Life's darkest path to the light There's no need to write All your mishaps on your body He shelters pain Retrograde has not been saved for me. Baby, don't cry It'll be over soon Baby, don't die We'll get older too Baby, don't cry Just bring me the light

about

Haunted Summer returns with its triumphant third LP, Whole. Recorded with Grammy Award winning producer Be Hussey, and released via LaunchLeft, the new album discovered a chillness and a lightness that breaks into a new realm of palatability. It is as peaceful as the quaintest dwelling, yet harmonically challenging and interesting in the abstract elevated moods that can entrance and take you over.

The tones on Whole creates a sonic space that a folk orchestra would produce inside of a wooden dome. It resonates the sounds of Topanga acts like Spirit, Linda Perhacs, America, Simon & Garfunkel, and some Brian Wilson-esque percussion and arrangements. It’s a pantheon of pure aesthetic melancholy, meant to harmonize the chaos.
