This one's gone 03:43

Something got lost along the way All this confusion not we've got to pay What if I said I would be com in back I know my head got lost along the way Tell me why do I have to say Everything's alright and every thing is cool. I'm saving my life for you I'm giving you much more Than you deserve I'm living my life for me I'm giving you much less To preserve who I am Futile flawed by design Take by the head Lead by desire Your promises are paper thin Your smile is your disguise Bring the bullets Ill take the gun Shoot your killer Hit and run We recognise transparency Our will is undefined This is my time Your are not mine This is high tide You are not right Promises The undertow is pulling Promises This time I feel this one this one's gone Written By Joey McGowan

Picturesque 03:38

Your urge to action calls upon Many more to stoke the coals Your faith and its demands Pay a higher price To bent out of shape to see You were living in a fantasy See me down in your town Picturesque and Overdressed Things I left behind Faces I could not see Triumphs unfound Illusions run free Cannot come down Cannot seem to sit still Take a bow step back and react accordingly Written by Joey McGowan

Nothing left to lose 03:49

My body is a broken down machine Obselete and inconsequential I state categorically for the record Maybe a little difficult to understand I withdrew from my membership I refuse to account for the incidents that are put before me All these misdemeanors to trival to pursue Ego's are battered and bruised The space between time is gone I've nothing left to lose I've nothing left to lose So pray for me I've gone down a road to long There's no point in coming back Compelling mysteries of ages The trial of Jesuits and folly I hurry now to arrive I've broken the first rule of being Most of the windows are occupied all the streets are closed off The only thing that remains is an idea of fire and fury So little attention was paid to where we were actually going Grind out our mutilated melodies Like gramophones that have seen better days Penetrate further with no time to spare Bearing names and arms some of them familiar Some of them still so very strange so pray for me I've nothing left to loose Written by Joey McGowan

Lifelines 04:20

Motion picture sets the scene Black and white tv screen Shadows on the wall Dresses in the closet Eyes peering out bodies on the shoreline He paces on the stair Knockin at the door Body on the floor and murmurs in the background Statements in the hall prescriptions on demand Blind in the main frame open eyed and unashamed This is the last time I come to offer lifelines It's all but quiet now So we got time to talk Listen in on dirty men and wicked ways A sip of rum now You've got whiskey eyes Prancin round the floor Playful talk a secret smiles Your bound to sink cause your in your comforts guise Secret handshakes Nervous second thoughts Tragic syndrome your pulling at the head Casino royalty the stakes have been raised Blind in the main frame open eyed and unashamed This is the last time I come to offer lifelines

I wanna be things that I wanna be I wanna see things that I wanna see I wanna live well, surrender and care to remember I wanna feel things that I wanna feel I wanna pretend that this is for real Retired and blissfully unaware I saw the river touched by the sun Sailin out west say goodbye to everyone Kaleidescope mirrors reflect all you've done Waitin on the winds of change to come Packin up your bags leave it all behind Paint your pretty pictures on a beautiful mind You fly once again I ramble on and I walk on the wire Contemplate all my burning desires Rack my brain for solutions and answers to science The indent is broken I see no divide Invade the idea I'll see you inside The danger of distance nowhere to hide I keep seeing oceans a cause to decide You are all obscure Out of sight not out of mind Drive by on bended knee Can’t wait to see

Skip the queue call in the favors Watch your back cause your fenced in around Closed up tight nailed to the cross Keep a tight lip and pull up your feet Day to day Hand to mouth In the corner of the room don't laugh but stand tall Listen tightly put it to bed Day to day hand to mouth Set in stone a new day is to come Permission to pursue the offspring People stare it may come as a surprise but a man has got to have a code Running round in circles missing the call But I guess I guess you gotta beat the fall I guess that i'm not going I guess that i've been told Ive got time to spend We could stand about here waiting Lookin closely for the condition of your favour Tie up your tongue ruffle your feathers Holding it back oh your playing it safe It's stuck in my head often unclear Pull it tightly bring up the rear Day to day hand to mouth Calling my bluff now you got my attention Holding your breath caught in demand day to day hand to mouth

Exiles 04:21

Empty eyes are all I see Underneath a sea of green Suffocating in this exchange game Your demonstrating whats drained in you And simulating whats left inside of you Can you explain? Nothing lasts forever I need something to keep me straight Equally relentless So it’s not too hard to take Callous and complete No whisper of complaint Your notable exceptions Overstep the mark I know I'll be seein you again Deaf and dumb I cannot see Blinded by all I have been Eradicating whats left of you Its dominating all this obtained truth Im regulating all this framed rage Stop gravitating in this unexplained abuse Vanity plays tricks on The hopelessly corrupted youth Bound by all accepted rules Do we dare Rebel?

We pass the distant lights I forgot my name I hear alarms repeating I fell by the side It's the year time of year When the sap starts to rise Spring unfurls we face the sweet time of sun I see colors where you see rain I see peace where you see pain The autumn of last see's us trim our sails Fast tracked backwards with coffin nails Hold your trophies on a pedestal The old veneer is right A parody of mistakes A different set of rules Your strong handed measures have given way Your so called plan of action is put in place I wanted to be just like you I never hold it tight to what went before I guess this is you and I guess this is me Don't fret don't fight Don’t hold it tight don't holler.

Eye for one 04:01

All that I have is Penance for my sins All laid to rest Letters for the bin Ill be waving my white flag Just to call a Truce Saving what we had Tell whats the use? I for one want to lay to rest All my demons I for one bleed in notions the seasons clean Right from the start Everythings agreed Plans to pull apart Everything you need I get warnings from afar No one's fool to roost No compulsion to retire No Hesitation here I'm going down the same road again Thinking about you two as friends Leave no room for empty hands What does it matter anyway? Looking back I won't be afraid Colour starts to drain from your face Forget about the things that I know Lobsided and turned out to the cold All that I see As the arrows fly by fast A common disregard Of things that might not last I'll be waving my white flag With taciturn replies Decline from open fire Just to balance on the wire I for one want to lay to rest all my demons Time has coming to set in motion a healing breeze To wipe it all out.

New Condition 05:17

Captivated by deception Eager to break down Detached and subsided Yielded to temptation Try to succumb to a new condition Try to abandon restoration Fool your intention Transform your broken form At the hands of magicians Confusion defies your doom Dramatic divisions Control is slipping away Agents of ambition Products of the same machine Masquerade about in fashion To feed your illusion Complete all your programs To serve the delusion Decay in suspended animation Delay your disappearance Written by Joey McGowan and Andrew Colohan

about

"Irish alt-rockers Ghost Accuser aim to provide “something solid” for listeners; on their latest album, Empty Orchestra, they have done just that. Ten punky alternative rock songs come together to make a cohesively dusky record, and the band’s claim that it brings together aspects of music from bands like Queens Of The Stone Age and The Cure to make a neat blend of “dark discord and indie punk rock” hits the nail right on the head."

Abby Jeffers - Indientry


"A ten track album of sorrowful melodies which drift through the room in captivating washes of intricate fretwork in contrasting paced threads which seem to slide like slate slabs as the guitar takes a measure of different timing to percussion and bass affording the songs a feeling of constant motion and the slowing of time."

Tim Whale - Emerging Indie Bands
