Keeping Us Here (Seven of House Salted Raven)
Shoegaze, Dream Pop, Ethereal Wave, Slow tempo, wall of sound guitars with heavy reverb and delay, washed-out vocals buried in the mix, ethereal synthesizer pads, oceanic atmosphere, melancholic, hypnotic, drifting, lush textures, numbness.

Lyrics
(No one holds the tiller, no one holds the chart)
We are floating in the artery of a stopped and heavy heart
Sails are hanging slack and gray, limp against the sky
Watching all the constellations slowly drifting by
Forgotten where the port was, forgotten where we’ve been
A ghost upon the water in a shed of hollow tin
Drifting...
Just drifting...
The compass is sleeping...
The silence is keeping...
Us here.
The food is gone, the water’s gone, the anger’s faded too
We’re just a collection of the things we used to do
Staring at the horizon line until it disappears
Dissolving into atmosphere after all these years
Fading into white noise, dissolving into foam
The ocean is a graveyard that we’ve decided is our home
Home...
Home...
