Host

From Passenger2025

Lyrics

Host

On your own, left alone, with a stranger Left alone, with your face, in the dark Ate the stones, heard a drum, didn't whisper Didn't breathe, just in case, I was hurt

Walking home, skin on bones, did it taste nice? Skin on bones, broken homes, that's the first And the room started dimming, I started spinning, lights started turning off Oh, the ghost started singing, life is nothing and time's got me praying, I'm done

Took the host from the ghost, now it's calling my name Took the host from the ghost, what a sinister game

On your own, no more bones, you're the stranger Drinking blood, from my goats, I'll forget And the room started dimming, I started spinning, lights started turning off Oh, the ghost started singing, life is nothing and time's got me praying, I'm done

Took the host from the ghost, now it's calling my name Took the host from the ghost, what a sinister game Took the host from the ghost, now it's calling my name Took the host from the ghost

From Dork

Nightbus on Dork

Reeperbahn Festival 2026 has announced its opening wave of artists with Fat Dog, Pale Waves and more

Over sixty acts have been revealed in an extensive first wave for Hamburg festival.

Nightbus, Slate and Punchbag are impossible to resist at Sebright Arms, London for Dork’s Night Out

Here at Dork, we don't stop. Following a packed February of shows across the country, Dork's Night Out rolls into the Sebright Arms for an evening that screams 'exciting'. Three bands pointing towards what comes next and making their mark - tonight's show would be impossible in a few years' time, purely because each act will have become a staple in their respective scenes. Tonight's Dork's Night Out does what it does best: takes the mundane and throws it firmly to the kerb for something more vital and essential.

Nightbus are heading to London's Sebright Arms for Dork's Night Out this March

They'll be joined by fellow upstarts Punchbag for our latest Dork 100 celebration.

Nightbus soundtrack a main character moment with their new single, 'Exposed To Some Light'

The band have a handful of UK live shows planned for November.
