I've been looking at life through my window And the trees are on fire from the evening glow And these passing days have turned into months While my chances of growing are still slim to none Day in, day out, I'm just trying to find my way out Inside and out, I'm constantly filled with doubt Fucked up, passed out, I can't seem to find my way out Sometimes you can't help but feel Can't help but feeling empty like a tomb So when it helps to feel alive you go and tear your heart in two Or maybe go out for drinks, who knows I know something hurts I'm not sure I wanna know chapped lips, burned hands, manic I tend to Fly high and then fall deep, put on repeat All these growing pains, that I can't evade They grow with me

I was walking down the street The airs intoxicating me At a near alarming rate Im drinking coffee But on sunny days you see a different hue New jerseys not always the same shade of blue Walgreens, Land fills and music scenes fed up teens with blown up dreams I feel angry all the time Dealing with thoughts that aren't just mine Feelings flood my head and slap my face A tumultuous downpour at torrential pace But on sunny days you see a different hue New jerseys not always the same shade of blue All these small conversations I keep having with myself (back up vocals) They don't get me anywhere just somewhat deeper into hell (back up vocals) The only reason I smoke or drink is all because I care bout what all these other people think about my thinning hair I drank the bowl poison from the hands of love as nectar I got sicker in the morning even though I though I knew better On certain sunny days you may see a different hue But new jerseys not always the same shade of blue, it's really up to you But when you are near, I don't feel so blue Thats cuz Im here laughing with you And when you are near, I don't feel so blue That's cuz Im here laughing with you I see you standing across the room Gently bopping along to the tune A gust of feeling, the essence of youth I can't wait to fumble my way over to you I can't do anything I can't do nothing love and patience These have to make something In the end it turns out my life is not what I expected But it's still beautiful Dry eyes, bad skin Cracked feet, manic I wake curled up on the ground My phone is flipping out I stay curled up on the ground My phone is flipping out

about

Tura Lura is Dan Shifrin, Ryan Grasso, Eli Shifrin, and Mike Starrett. Emerging from the basements of Morris County, NJ, Tura Lura is an energetic mixture of surfy guitar licks, crooning vocal harmonies, and suburban existentialism. With a range of influences that span genres from folk rock to drone, Tura Lura’s work consists of upbeat indie rock tunes that flow in and out of melodic instrumental breaks and experimental fuzz. The band recently released their debut EP, The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance, and have been playing shows throughout the North East.
