You're wrong! Who's to say we're the only ones? (Well if you're certain show me something that'll change my mind) I think the truth scares all of us (Well maybe so) Who's to say where the sky starts? (And if it fell would the world just fall apart?) How do you decide between what you feel and what you know? I've had my fill, I've nearly choked On mirrors and smoke (fogging up my windows) I've fallen for that lovely hoax But the truth is a joke (and it's hard to invoke) x2 I just don't think that I'm alone, In wanting more than what I'm sold x3 I'm not wise beyond my years, I might even be behind a few Because I am still unlearning the assumptions In my point of view Maybe you feel alone Staring wide-eyed at those darker hues But did you know that it's almost certain Someone's staring back at you I'm left standing with some good friends Just a few tenths of a mile from where it flew over the Woodman's I wasn't there but I believe the fanatics and their fringe theories It's not that far-fetched to me It's better than the alternative That I'm the only alien kid

What then? When the righteous hand of God comes down And you don't understand But doubting makes you the prodigal one So you put blind faith in an only son, You put your faith What now? When you're jaded And your favorite faded jeans don't fit But your therapist said you'll get over it Oh, but God d*mn it's just one more thing added to the list And you're drowning in your own head "Must be demons", they said So you pray it all away Try to forget it But if we're being open here Sometimes you wish you could just end it But you can't cuz what if you don't go to heaven Or whatever But it's not all that bad, It's just not getting better What then? What now? What if they were wrong somehow? What now? If you're a salesman for heaven Tell me, tell me Do you get commission? I had to sever my limb Just to escape from your grip And I was just a kid I was only a kid, I was only a kid It still aches time to time Like a phantom and I'm Reminded of when I was his I was only a kid, I was only a kid I don't have to forgive you For what you did Send me to Hell if it exists I'll call your bluff on the abyss Eviscerate me I may not be good enough But I know I deserved better than this Oh, you forsake me So you pin it all away Like butterflies stuck in a frame And idolized a cursive name Just to abandon your humanity We're lying to ourselves if we say there is not a Hell 'Cause it's right here Heaven is where there's no fear, no fear I had to sever my limb Just to escape from your grip And I was just a kid I was only a kid, I was only a kid It still aches time to time Like a phantom and I'm Reminded of when I was his I was only a kid, I was only a kid

Relax we're getting better Collapse into my sweater The cracks between our fingers Keep me wide Awake! Don't you dare break my heart 'Cause I need you to stay Fragile as these words my lips depart To catch your wave Catch your wave your wave (your wave, your wave, your wave) Your fate is mine I hope that when you go I'm close behind Follow you anywhere, my Valentine I cut off all my hair, you didn't mind Your just my kind of.. Weekday night in the Summer Such a bummer our friends couldn't make it for the fire So I guess we're stuck with each other for a while I watch you flicker like a flame before my eyes It feels insane That you're mine, all mine (all mine) So tell those other girls to suck it 'Cause they're just wasting their time Chasing you like a fool Chasing me I'm awake! Don't you dare break my heart 'Cause I need you to stay Fragile as these words my lips depart To catch your wave Catch your...

Sometimes I leave it all behind In my head, such a mess Am I better off dead? No, in my heart, I know it's only the start When I look back at my heroes who all left me to drown It's like counting sheep, they kept their heads down And even Jesus looked at me and frowned (from underneath his thorny crown) So I don't trust anyone or anything Except the grass beneath my footfalls And the amber eyes of my dog x2 I'll stay outside all day Sunburn my face In the backyard like the good ol' days x2 You kept me tangled up inside A crucible for this new mind I guess I'm grateful, but not for those hateful eyes Unconsciously I've always known There's so much room to grow Maybe I'm still the same And maybe you're the one who's changed I think no one will take the blame 'Cause I've learned time doesn't heal a thing So I don't trust anyone or anything Except the grass beneath my footfalls And the amber eyes of my dog x2 Sometimes we leave it all behind In our heads, it's such a mess Are we better off dead? No in your heart, you know it's only the start Maybe you're still the same And maybe I'm the one who's changed That's the funny thing about time It won't slow down for us to decide (I'll stay outside all day) (sunburn my face, like the good ol' days) *What if that's okay? *When there's nothing left to say *I'm sick of old clichés *I think we've earned the right to walk away *And what if we're too late? *I don't think that this can wait

I can't sleep My tail's between my legs Playing back all the things you said to me Can't stop myself from remembering We're not getting any younger And I can't help but wonder Whether we've grown apart Or were ever close from the start You're not sorry (that you stopped trying) But I'm not giving up (so try me) And I'm not sorry (and I'm not lying) I'll be moving on Is this what you wanted You're the mess I let my heart Get caught up in from the start I don't know who's saving who But I hope I played my part x2 You said that you would never break a promise I guess that you're not used to being honest Instead of speaking to what we are feeling We say words that don't have meaning You're not sorry (that you stopped trying) But I'm not giving up (so try me) And I'm not sorry (and I'm not lying) I'll be moving on Is this what you wanted You know I swear the least out of anyone we know But I swear this'll be the last time you'll ever see me go If you're hearing this, I hope you're doing well And if you're not, here's to things getting better You left a hole in my heart where your love used to be And that space in my chest, that remains empty In my memories I'm glad that I was put in this position Some of the best times I've had were in this cold, sticky kitchen By the way... You said that you would never break a promise I guess that you're not used to being honest Instead of speaking to what we are feeling We say words that don't have meaning And I hope you can't sleep I hope you don't sleep I hope you won't sleep When you think of me

about

'Somewhere to Grow' is the third EP released by the prominent Wisconsin duo 'Pasta Sauce'. Its lyrics branch out from the single released prior to the EP (To Be Is A Blessing), continuing the conversation about religious roots, what it means to exist, and growth in general - growing a family, growing apart, growing through adversity.

On this EP you'll hear Pasta Sauce reflect on past experiences and question the future based on those encounters. If the instrumentation/ lyrics/composition don't rattle your heart, you must be a robot. The tracks are flooded with ambient, fancy, jazz chords and emotional vocal melodies over poppy drum beats by the DIY duo. Can you dig it?

This is our world, and we should help each other grow.
