lyrics

Once again, the sand in the hourglass is running thin.
Neither of us can be certain just how long it's been,
And we both know that the window at the end of the corridor is firmly closed.
But stay composed. That is the key.

A glimmer of hope is shining over me...
Or so it seems... but the night is fading...
I'm still waiting... I'm still waiting... I'm still...

...And it seems like a lifetime since they left me here,
Only entertained by guarantees and quandary
And how ungladdedly, it maddens me, it saddens me so,
Although I'm told,
"Just remember, never lose your temper; stay composed, that is the key."

A glimmer of hope is shining over me...
Only a glimmer of hope... but the light is fading...
I'm still waiting... I'm still...

It gets so cold in here...
When the last of the candles have perished of fear...
And every creature I invent undoubtedly agrees:
It gets so lonesome here.

Not a glimmer of hope is shining in my way,
For so it seems, all light has faded
And we all know that the lock upon the door has proved a'broken very long ago
But stay composed...
Just stay imposed.

I'll never trust another promise again!

Just remember never lose your temper, just stay enclosed.

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.
