lyrics

Right... Left right here,
To question without an answerer...
Up, down, forwards, backwards,
I am dizzy and I'm falling apart again.
Am I already dead?
Some things don't seem to make much sense.
They just repeat over again.

My closet home can only fit a few.
Why do I reserve it all for you to leave so soon?
Up above all locked doors,
You're nailing down the floorboards behind you.
I'm a secret secured.

Someday, the doctors will come in.
They'll say that I was always wrong.
They couldn't help me anyway.
This is just what I am.
I was always meant to break.

Left... Right. Left underneath dim yellow lights,
Tucked in tight in blood-stained white,
To keep the seams inside me hidden.
Remind me if I'm already dead,
Because some things don't seem to make much sense.
They just repeat over again.

On floorboards sealing closet doors,
I can hear your footsteps fade,
To the furthest side of the tale we couldn't write:
Left... Right...

(Left... Right... Left... Right, left...)
Right... Left.... Right... Left, right,
Don't tell me that you're sorry that you couldn't save me,
It's not your fault... Right... Left... Right...

It's alright.

Someday, the doctors will come in.
They'll say that I was always wrong.
They couldn't help me anyway.
This is just what I am.
I was always meant to break.
...Falling back into...
(It's alright)

Someday, the doctors will come in.
They'll say
That I was always right that no one really loves me anyway,
(It's alright, it's just what I am.)
And this is just what I am and I was always meant to break.
Remind me why I'm not exactly happy in this place.

Marko! Doesn't anybody know I'm here?
I'm calling out. I have my doubts.
Doesn't anybody know I'm here?
I have my fears and I have my doubts.

I have my fears and I have my doubts!
Ready or not, I am crawling out!
I have my fears and I have my doubts.

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.
