about

Most of us can say that we’ve experienced the deep sadness and disorienting state around loosing a close friendship. ‘Berlin Is Haunted’ conveys the emotional turmoil Nat Lort-Nelson, lead vocals and guitar, went through after he experienced that loss himself. The anguished musical landscape of ‘Berlin is Haunted’ is created through ethereal guitars, grooving drum and bass with layered, powerful and at times pain stricken vocals from Lort-Nelson. These vocals and weighted lyrics punctuate his loss, while holding on to hope of a restorative future.

lyrics

I’d lose my dearest friend, every time we’d haunt Berlin
And I dread what was really said, through the fog in my tanked up head
We’d drain our blood from two paper cuts
I don't understand my lies, I don't understand my ire
I’d be damned if I’m wrong in the fear it’s true
Well I swore that we’d be perfect and I’d never run on you, then I

Threw it through the window that night, I took it to the window
I don't even understand why, I saw it out the window
Our dream that we built for a long while, I took it to the window.
I don't understand the way I am again

I can’t stop the bleeding
Oh why am I not healing

We emptied our pockets of our knives by now
Everything has seen revision, Berlin has seen now seven springs
And I trust that you have healed sat by that lake down south,
Burying a friend who lost his sight of friends at hand, when I

Threw it through the window that night, I took it to the window
I don't even understand why, I saw it out the window
Our dream that we built for a long while, I took it to the window.
I don't understand the way I am again

I can’t stop the bleeding
Oh why am I not healing
I can’t stop the bleeding
Oh why am I not healing
I can’t stop the bleeding,
I stay away, for all I have is Berlin inside my mind
So I’ll stay here for a while

I trusted all the way of the old paper cuts
As if wanting to be perfect if I feel this love again

These chronic wounds aren't healing
I can’t stop the bleeding
Oh why am I not healing
I can't stop the bleeding,
I stay away, for all I have is Berlin inside my mind
So I’ll stay here for a while
