tell me i'll cover you it's about time you say spoken through silence we've made i must admit that i am not what i say but we find ourselves in such starving arms show the way he said counting steps to your heart so i can crawl inside and hide from a scared child but this mirror cuts through when i found me in you i'll tell you'll cover me it's about time today

can i carry you? to be your holy water i'll be your cowboy here comes that ride i'll think of your name and lose track of time a chance to not fuck up this name calls out loud all ask is what i give an open hand smoking on your breath watching your words dance we light those cigarettes in a cloud of gazing touch i can not deny if i did i lied to have my hands run through your hair take us to where never is forever

about

Technically, "The Empty House" is the fifth full length album from Stars Are Insane but the album remained unreleased in a proper album form until 2011. It was recorded in 2001 as I was starting to move out of the house I was living in, hence the title. The master tapes sat in a box and remained unreleased until it was compiled for 2006's "So. I Dreamed of Noise" 4 x cdr collection. In 2011 it was remastered and re-sequenced as a proper stand alone album to become "The Empty House" cd-r.

Recorded in 2001

Edition of 25 cd-rs with full color artwork, insert in a DVD case.

released by Rok Lok Records
