about

Music by Turf Title. Lyrics by Shane Mitbo and Gabe Sharp.

lyrics

Tired sad and alone
I have made these words my home
So I used the doormat
I always step the wrong way
Falling into this cavern of sadness
Every single day

Perfect mirror image I do not accept
What came before I was shrouded in contempt
I appear as not the man I chose to be
Smash age old glass choose my own destiny

I am a pauper I am a lych
Plead for your dollar bleed for you sin
I am the shackles binding your wrists
I am enamel concealing tryst
I'm guilty liars at confession
I'm faulty wires failed filaments
Step up and I'll confront you my id
Step back and I'll commence my abyss

Now it's time I come to grips with severed stems that once bore petals
Elegant and delicate they drifted to the ground and settled
Whether I gracefully fall or get cut short it doesn't matter
Regardless I'll still resolve left rotting in brown leaves and earth
