[Verse 1]
There is a ghost
A hologram projection
Of a thought that gave hope
And I watch it shift with every second
Well, every word that it spoke
A slip in intentions, all this tension
What becomes and what won't
Hope it exists in other dimensions
Time is haunted differently
It's something you let go
No new comes of repeating
The things we almost hold
[Chorus]
This grief is like labour
Won't reap what you sow
Lost your voice of reason
Your reason to go
This grief is like labour
Won't reap what you sow
Lost your voice of reason
Your reason to go
[Verse 2]
Give me your best joke
The peace of inaction
And promises you broke
Somewhere never happened
Every word that it spoke
All connections affection
Every time that you choke
Stuck in a loop, no direction
[Chorus]
This grief is like labour
Won't reap what you sow
Lost your voice of reason
Your reason to go
This grief is like labour
Won't reap what you sow
Lost your voice of reason
Your reason to go
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus]
This grief is like labour
Won't reap what you sow
Lost your voice of reason
Your reason to go
This grief is like labour
Won't reap what you sow
Lost your voice of reason
Your reason to go

Lauren Auder released Hauntology on Thu Feb 10 2022.
‘Hauntology’ was written in summer 2020, when I had just lost my therapist to the virus. This song is what came of that — in all its irony, reflecting on that relationship.
