lyrics

One, two, three, how many hours in the closet to endure?
I'm counting on my fingers but I'm running out.
Ready or not; I'll never be sure.
Whether he'll find me; I have my doubts.
He's speaking to me.
Doesn't know how much I love him does he?
And it's making me feel dizzy and as though,
My insides are growing wings and fluttering around.
How about instead we play Sardines?

Though, ready or not, he's never gonna find me in here.

Now he's beside me, doesn't really love me does he,
In this poorly lit room of fictional strangers?
He glances at me, sometimes more than others do.
Probably because he thinks I'm weird.
He taps me on the shoulder and he smiles at me,
And I smile back and I am happy for that much time.
But he's beside me. Never in front of me,
And never quite behind me. He'll never love me will he?

Maybe, perhaps, he's hiding in the closet right next to me,
Just beyond what I can see... Probably not. I have my doubts.

Ready or not, he's never gonna find me in here.
If I don't knock, he's never going to find me.

It's been a strange few days, but it feels like a year,
That I've been rotting in a closet here.
He hasn't really looked at me lately, he's walking away from me,
But a piece of my heart must have slipped into his pocket.
There's a hole deep inside of me now, and I don't want to hide it anymore.
I don't want to hide here anymore.

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.
