lyrics

I'm searching, I'm looking around, turning forth and back
To avoid every view of the facts, but they keep diving before my eyes,
Reflecting bright lights on a treacherous path;
A path I'd rather not take,
Because I know that you're walking the opposite way,
Already consumed by the blackest of fortunes laid unforetold.
Well, I guess I had better be going to see how my own crumpled future unfolds...

...And I'm stealing glances but I've lost my chances...

I'm wandering through forests, I'm weaving in between,
Thoughts of the lives and the secrets you've shared with me,
Amid the voices that've followed us through the years...
It's never seemed quite so quiet in here;
In a house where I cannot sleep,
And I can't see what I'm breathing, they can't see what I'm feeling.
Does that make it all insignificant, if it can't all be seen?
So let's pretend, that it's alright to pretend and pretend...

Now where does the future lie and why has it all seemed a lie
And does it lie without you now? Alictor...
And if I cannot see you soon, why then am I to be so doomed
To miss you like this anyhow? It's alright to pretend...
(One day I'll meet you underground, we'll generate light from sound.
I'd give so much to see you smile. I guess it'll be a while, Alictor...)
And if I had a choice, I'd give so much to hear your voice.
I wish you'd tell me everything. If only I could just tell you one thing...
Where are you now? It's alright, Alictor...

Where does the future lie?
...And why has it all seemed a lie?
...Or is this where it starts:
Lost and alone in the dark?
This is where it starts?

about

Grotoko Winnipeg, Manitoba

Grotoko is an art rock project, drawing inspiration from punk, grunge, and classical music. Its name is a collage of the words "rococo" and "grotesque".

Using melodic lines and a confessional, sometimes sarcastic, non-sense lyrical style, it is a celebration of emotions, attempting to create something mildly beautiful from some uglier things in human experience.
