lyrics

Smile brightly for all the world to see
You tread lightly, singing The Real Me
But we can’t see the forest for the trees
Sometimes the one who ups and leaves
Is just the one who breaks and bleeds…

Life of the party, Shout It Out Loud
Dancing and laughing, Tears Of A Clown
But we can’t see the ocean for the waves
Sometimes the one who aches and craves
Shows you the mask and hides away…

So rip it off, when you think you can’t stand it
Rip it off, ain’t the way you planned it
Rip it off, the precious and the soft
You gotta rip it off

Tear down The Wall, World Shut Your Mouth
And when the rats are racing, Blow It Out
But you can’t see the sky for the blue
Sometimes the you you thought you knew
Ain’t the flash-arrow, straight and true…

So rip it off, when you think you can’t stand it
Rip it off, ain’t the way you planned it
Rip it off, the bandage and the bluff
You gotta rip it off

So rip it off, when you think you can’t stand it
Rip it off, ain’t the way you planned it
Rip it off, when it’s heavy-handed and rough…

Rip it off, when you think you can’t stand it
Rip it off, stand up and demand it
Rip it off, when enough is enough is enough
You gotta rip it off…

tiny injuries
by Tamar Berk

supported by 17 fans who also own “Rip It Off”

Track 1 hooked me out of the gate, and it's an 11-way tie for 2nd-favourite. The lyrics, instrumentation, arrangement, dynamics, performance and production are excellent throughout. Others have used the word "fresh" to describe Tamar's music, and I agree. I'm never sure what will happen next and that's what makes it so exciting! tommcnally

the restless dreams of youth

Shadow Clues was the song the introduced me to Tamar, but Suitcase and Gun is the perfect ending track for an album. Even more so, if you listen to that and automatically go in Start At The End, it feels like a bridge into it. Like going from one stage of life and starting over, only for new situations to arise. jerryslaughter
