LYRICS

Her green plastic watering can 
For her fake Chinese rubber plant 
In the fake plastic Earth 
That she bought from a rubber man 
In a town full of rubber plans 
To get rid of itself

It wears her out 
It wears her out 
It wears her out 
It wears her out

She lives with a broken man 
A cracked polystyrene man 
Who just crumbles and burns (burns) 
He used to do surgeries
For the girls in the eighties 
But gravity always wins (yeah)

And it wears him out 
It wears him out 
It wears him out 
It wears

She looks like the real thing 
Oh she tastes like the real thing 
My fake plastic love (love) 
Oh whoa ah oh 
But I can't help but feeling 
I could blow through the ceiling 
If I just turn and run (run, run, run)

But it wears me out 
It wears me out 
It wears me out 
It wears me out

And if I could be who you wanted 
If I could be who you wanted 
All the time 
Oh all the time 

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 
Oh yeah
Whew ooh ooh 
Whew ooh ooh 
Ooh whew ooh

If I could be
If I could be
If I could be

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Eh ooh
Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh

Whew ooh ooh 
Whew ooh ooh 
Ooh whew ooh

LYRICS

As I stare out at the ocean
I see the sunlit sparkles on the waves
There exists a subtle notion
And all the pieces start to fall right in place

Along with beauty, there's grace
A love that time cannot erase
They're life's reflections

I used to shy away from mirrors
I'd make a point to turn away and hide
Now everything's becoming clearer
There's a growing understanding and insight

Aside from darkness, there's light
And despite the madness, I'm alright
Once you surrender, there's no fight
The world begins to shine
Reflections so defined
And I find I was blind

Too many times I was blinded by the darkness
But I got to the light
Many times that I couldn't find my direction
And didn't know left from the right
And especially when you just wanna take flight to the sky
Life is a bitch that'll kill your vibe
Couldn't hear, took the Q-tips out my ear
Like the real Quest from the real Tribe
'Til I stood in the mirror and realized
Then I looked in my eyes I was starin' at the truth
The scars, scrapes, and cuts that damaged me
Is the proof of the pain that I've gone through
But I was unfocused, I'm no longer hopeless
I'm coastin' ‘cause I found my path and direction
And though I'm still rollin' with a mind full of emotions
There's no regrets, just my reflections

Oh life
Aside from darkness, there's light
And despite the madness, I'm alright
Once you surrender, there's no fight
The world begins to shine
Reflections redefined
The memories in my mind
And I find I was blind

Scars, scrapes, cuts
Hard hate, race, ruts
Lessons, lust, pain, life
Weapons, loss, gain
My reflections
Scars, scrapes, cuts
Hard hate, race, ruts
Lessons, lust, pain, life
Weapons, loss, gain
My reflections
Scars, scrapes, cuts
Hard hate, race, ruts
Lessons, lust, pain, life
Weapons, loss, gain
My reflections
Scars, scrapes, cuts
Hard hate, race, ruts
Lessons, lust, pain, life
Weapons, loss, gain
My reflections
Scars, scrapes, cuts
Hard hate, race, ruts
Lessons, lust, pain, life
Weapons, loss, gain
My reflections
Scars, scrapes, cuts
Hard hate, race, ruts
Lessons, lust, pain, life
Weapons, loss, gain
My reflections

Phil Tallo is an American Singer-Songwriter/Composer, Arranger, Music Producer, Pianist/Keyboardist, Multi-Instrumentalist, Lyricist, and an active member of ASCAP as a registered composer, author (pertaining to song lyrics), and music publisher. Born and raised in the St. Louis area of Missouri, Phil's passion for music sparked at an early age as he began taking piano lessons at the tender age of 6 and started writing songs by age 15. In the fall of 2003, after studying music at Webster University, he moved to Los Angeles, California where he resided for over 18 years as a successful songwriter and music producer. Now he is back in St. Louis where it all began.
 
Since the 2011 release of his debut LP titled ‘Live For The Day,’ Phil has been heavily focused on expanding his repertoire, which constitutes a diverse catalog of songs encompassing multiple genres and various styles of music. He aspires to create timeless and dramatic music that, along with the lyrics, most often depict stories relatable to the average person and/or life in general. Influenced by captivating melodies (for allure and appeal), rich harmonies (for detail and color), and shifting dynamics (for mood and emotion), he strives to incorporate these same characteristics into his own compositions while also aiming to make sure that each one is both musically and lyrically unique from the others. All in all, Phil wishes to let his music speak for itself.
