about

Written as a song commission, this song explores generational trauma and the way that expresses at certain ages. Recorded in a back bedroom at Scott's parents house on a Tascam cassette recorder while his parents were driving to the post office.

lyrics

Label the Liar
written by The Rough & Tumble
Copyright 2020 Penny Jar Publishing

Label the liar.
I got water in one hand,
In the other a lighter.
Label the liar.
Who said the thread
Didn’t start with a fire?

Patron Saint or Patient Zero,
I can’t decide if you’re villain or hero.
Who got your eyes, who got your smile
When all I got was your long night?

Label the liar.
I got seconds in one hand,
In the other an hour.
Label the liar.
I got silence on one side,
But the other side’s louder.

Maybe I can’t resist a comeback story.
Or maybe I stopped resisting someone coming back for me.
I don’t want wild, it don’t make me free—
One of us is leaving, it won’t be me.

Label the liar.
I got water in one hand
And a brain on fire.
Label the liar.
Isn’t it time
We both got tired.

Who said that 28 was the going rate these days?
(I don’t wanna die, anymore).

Label the liar.
