Verse 1
Steam on the window, storm in the pan
Grandma’s old recipe, passed hand‑to‑hand
But tonight it’s burnin’, boilin’ over the edge
Like a promise gone sour or a truth left unsaid
Pre‑Chorus
You said it’d fix everything
But you never said how
You served it up smiling
But I taste it now
Chorus
Shepherds Pie — layered lies in disguise
Shepherds Pie — comfort cooked with alibis
Shepherds Pie — you fed me what I’d never buy
But I swallowed it whole till I learned to ask why
Verse 2
Mashed‑up memories, meat‑grind regrets
You seasoned the past with the things you forget
Said it’s “home,” said it’s “love,” said it’s “all you need”
But the flavor hits different when you finally read the recipe
Pre‑Chorus
You said it’d make me stronger
But it made me choke
You called it tradition
But it felt like a joke
Chorus
Shepherds Pie — layered lies in disguise
Shepherds Pie — comfort cooked with alibis
Shepherds Pie — you fed me what I’d never buy
But I swallowed it whole till I learned to ask why
Bridge
Stir it up
Break it down
Scrape the truth
From the bottom now
No more plates
No more shame
I’ll cook my own
And sign my name
Final Chorus
Shepherds Pie — I’m done with the disguise
Shepherds Pie — no more sugar‑coated lies
Shepherds Pie — I’m takin’ back my appetite
’Cause I’m done bein’ fed what you call “doing right”
