	Oh Magdalene, what have I become? My anguished body is slowly coming undone. Oh Magdalene, I've found you once again, and for a moment we are young. But only for a moment; before you dissipate like the smoke in my lungs. Oh Magdalene on a battered cross; I buried your sleeping heart. It's lying quietly under a bed of soil of frost. And this house is where I used to come home, but it died a long time ago. I feel the ache in its crumbling bones. And this house, where I reside, doesn't feel like home. It doesn't feel like home; it's just a place for me to occupy until I'm gone. Oh God! My sainted body is but ash and bone. Oh Magdalene, what have I become? I am nothing but your ghost. I am nothing but your ghost. (x4)

about

This is a rough rough demo, recorded in a drain pipe under a bridge with my cell-phone. I would have gotten a better recording, but I started to get yelled at by crack-heads, and so I had to rush out of there. Enjoy.
