lyrics

I'll pick and scratch you out my skin
I'm never, ever gonna let you back in
I'll cry, and sweat, and bleed you out
From the bottom of this glass
In the middle of a drought

Forty days and forty nights
Locked in my room
Trying to get myself right
Unpack my heart, and board the doors
To find myself face down on the floor

And I tell myself that I
And I tell myself that I
Will hang my soul out to dry
And I tell myself that I
And I tell myself that I
Will hang my soul out to dry

My weathered hands they reach for you
And pray to God they never do
I'll hang my head, and pull my hair
The last night I will ever be there

Old Wive's Tale rings strong and true
If you fool me once then shame on you
You fool me twice
The blame I take
Now to the grave with my mistake

I'll pick
You gotta get out, you gotta get out
I'll scratch
You gotta get out, you gotta get out
I'll cry
I'll bleed
You gotta get out, you gotta get out
I'll beg
You gotta get out, you gotta get out
I'll die

about

Sister Gray Edmonton, Alberta

Alternative Rock infused with electronic textures. Two sisters; two opposing forces of nature amidst a chaos of crashing symbols, dirty bass riffs and soaring guitar solos. Energetic, relentless songs of heartbreak, dreams and the in between.
