Everywhere she goes,
she feels so out of place.
Everything she knows
makes her hide away her face.
No memory of her life before
her feet are getting sore.
She holds her breath, she shuts her eyes
locks away the pain inside.
Feels the rain and starts to cry,
sings herself a lullaby.
Stepping through the grass,
wind blows through her hair.
Nobody’s around but
it feels like someone’s there
She knows if she goes too far, she’ll hurt
land face first in the dirt.
But she knows that if she doesn’t try
she won’t escape the lie.
She holds her breath, she shuts her eyes
locks away the pain inside.
Feels the rain and starts to cry,
sings herself a lullaby.
Locked in a world where she tries so hard to break free
there’s no mistaking it’s her life they’re taking
when she tries to break away
trapped inside yesterday.
She holds her breath, she shuts her eyes
locks away the pain inside.
Feels the rain and starts to cry,
sings herself a lullaby.

TTBT has some of my favorite songs written by The Mechs. Iphis is my personal favorite due to its ties with Greek Mythology, but it's definitely an album I have on repeat constantly. yumeinati
