Sympathy & Empathy / Halo & Pitchfork

Canary in the Coal Mine

Well, I can't leave this swamp its under me
meandering, wandering without memory and
i can't sleep.
i need these ghosts to haunt my stereo.

Please, ghosts.  Haunt my stereo.

The Settler decides,
"This looks like a fine place to die."
Give me some peace.
Canary in a coal mine, sing me to sleep.
i can't get no rest in this darkness.
i need these ghosts to haunt my stereo.

Please, ghosts.  Haunt my stereo.
