lyrics

Spent three years growiin up you like a vine
Three years livin' the life of a parasite
Where did I go when the roots finally died?
Tumbled to the floor and I cried

Why? Why? Why? Did you let me suck out your life
The sun is hot, was it the shade I'd provide?
I swear I thought we were growin'
Side X Side

Spent three months tryin' to find
a mound of dirt where I could hide
The mounting shame residing inside
til' a poppy field asked to be my bride

and she cried...

Why? Why? Why? Did you let me suck out your life
The sun is hot, was it the shade I'd provide?
I swear I thought we were growin'
Side X Side

The Digital Age of Rome

T. Hardy Morris influences my music perhaps more than any other artists. This record has brilliant punkish energy balanced with intimate old Country/Americana production. Mad Lasso
