about

The woeful tale of a woman not understood as needing help by her peers. A woman who feels isolated and suffocated by the problems of others whilst they continually ignore her own demons.

lyrics

In a wave of faceless expressions, your smile irradiates. Bringing fire to this desolate place and in a consequence creates. A place in which we can both exist acceptant of each others regrets. So I'm begging please, honey I'm begging please, please take away all of our frets.

But behind that smile oh I can see the innocent that wants out, but nobody cares, no nobody cares about the girl who kills all of our doubt. Your fire-y hair now faded to embers underneath all of our shame, you look for a reason you look for a scapegoat but honey you are too late.

'Cause you are to blame, and it's a shame. You are to blame, and it's a shame.

You smoke that cigarette like the smoke will hate your face, but everyone knows that you're the girl to which everybody can relate. You think of your life as a curse and you shout to the clouds in vain, you hold your hands up high and hope the gods will listen to your pain.

But behind that smile oh I can see the innocent that wants out, but nobody cares, no nobody cares about the girl who kills all of our doubt. Your fire-y hair now faded to embers underneath all of our shame, you look for a reason you look for a scapegoat but honey you are too late.

'Cause you are to blame, and it's a shame. You are to blame, and it's a shame.
