about

Music by Turf Title. Lyrics by Shane Mitbo.

lyrics

All this empty faith
All left to waste
It takes more
Than four walls to build a home
Feel the floorboards heaved
From under me
You fled north
Nothing remains but your ghost

You stormed downstairs to the basement
And threw down the papers
The entire household was laced with
Aprehensive anticipation
It's not to say that we saw nothing coming
It's just that no one knew what to expect
Nineteen long years and five lives unraveling
It all came down to a stamp and a pen

I watched from the hall across the house
Avoided tension and secluded myself
As the frame work crumbled dust settled around
My body like a snow angel
I'm not known the keep a promise
And that night I swore through all this
I'd always keep my composure
I couldn't keep my composure

I'm waking up in a restless sweat
My greatest terror's the one thats closing in
These aren't the nightmares I had as a kid
These fears are tattered family portraits

Sign the documents
Sign your letters drenched
In apologies
Until the ink bleeds
Dry on clotheslines hang
On open display
Dripping colors left
Only silhouettes
