about

This is probably the spookiest track, largely due to a last minute mixing decision to really mess with the piano. I actually ended up sticking it through a guitar amp emulator and cranking up the drive!

Corridors is about searching for an answer or an escape. How we run head first away or toward things, hoping to turn a corner or open a door and for the answer to be there, or for the thing your running from to not be hot on your heels.

lyrics

There's something in your eye telling me there's something more.
I see it every time there's a creek in the floorboards
Its echoing around in-between the corridors
And you know I'll follow, follow the source.

Succumb to another ghost, and I'll see you in shadows,
Coz time will always glow, and leave you there exposed,
It oozes from your pores, and drips along the floor,

You can say what you like but I won't let you face this alone,
It's been there all this time and I always knew something was wrong,
If a fear of this kind makes it hard to feel comfortable,
Well that suits me just fine coz I'm already awkward and cold

There's no need to define what this is and who how when and when,
Just know i'll be around every time it takes over your head,
We can leave this behind and be lovers caught up in pretence,
Just know i'll never be half the man half the boy i resent.
