lyrics

i thought you were gone
a small memory
an island alone
in the ravenous sea

i thought I was wrong
a flicker so faint
erased by the fog
engulfing the flame

i thought you never actually were for real

strip me of my foolish skins
leave me out to dry with my face to the wind
there never was a horse in the park
I conjured it up to keep the story coming

i thought you were gone
haunting and proud
so far yet so close
so certain with doubt

i thought I was wrong
a day on the beach
our fingers of sand
too crumbled to reach

i thought you never actually were for real

They also claim David Bowie, Joy Division, Wire and Magazine as their sonic godfathers.
