about

Another song wandering outside of the classic Pasta Sauce sound (that we've all come to love) to announce our upcoming EP 'Somewhere to Grow'. Get pumped. Stay pumped.

MERCH AVAILABLE: see link on Facebook or Instagram page.

DISCLAIMER: The EP does NOT sound as brutal as this single (unfortunately), but don't worry, it will be just as melodic and enchanting (if not more) as the last EP.

lyrics

Little fiction, self affliction
Oh contrary, Mary drank too much
Simple magic, pretty tragic
Myopic, see it's chronic to the touch

And Alice asked for you
Said you'd know what to do about
A rose that's lost all color, baby
Does this sound familiar?
And I'm the last to lose my faith in something higher
But the rosary's on fire
Does this sound familiar baby?

They may take it all away,
My dear they'll pay it back in spades

You clipped my wings
When you were scared of where I'd go
I guess you left me with no other place to grow
You asked if I would pray for you,
I said sure
But you don't know what I prayed for

Don't sleep, I see you're tired of me
Dearly departing like a supernova baby

I see the moon flash in your eyes
I feel alive, I feel alive
Still wear your sweater all the time
Sending shivers down my spine

You don't call back, and then show up
At the worst times, at the worst times

Can't fix the cracks with golden promises this time

And Alice asked for you
Said you'd know what to do about
A rose that's lost all color, baby
Does this sound familiar?
And I'm the last to lose my faith in something higher
But the rosary's on fire
Does this sound familiar baby?

So catch me if you can,
I'm lost in my own wonderland
I've painted all the roses blue
The rest is up to you
