‘No Ghosts Walk’, the third single from Paper Tigers finds the band pushing the boundaries of their alt rock sound, exploring new sonic territory and is the most personal song the band have released to date!
lyrics
I feel the eyes of heaven burning down on me
Sacred surveillance playing out as sacrilege
This knife my hand and questions I cant ask
I'm not letting go I just can't live in the past
And it burns, it stings, to watch you leave
Not hold you every day
To wash these wounds, can't take your place
I feel you torn away
Now there's a place I go to pull you from the air
No ghosts walk amongst but still I feel it there
A light that won't go out, a final flash of life
Keep our sacred hearts close and hold forever tight
Your sun went down
It's not the start and it's not the end
This sacred place I held you close, my saving grace
Your lost we felt you disappeared without a trace
I cross my heart then give you up and it feels the same
Sacred surveillance playing out as sacrilege
This knife my hand and questions I cant ask
I'm not letting go I just can't live in the past
And it burns, it stings, to watch you leave
Not hold you every day
To wash these wounds, can't take your place
I feel you torn away
Now there's a place I go to pull you from the air
No ghosts walk amongst but still I feel it there
A light that won't go out, a final flash of life
Keep our sacred hearts close and hold forever tight
Your sun went down
It's not the start and it's not the end
This sacred place I held you close, my saving grace
Your lost we felt you disappeared without a trace
I cross my heart then give you up and it feels the same
