Evelynn - TRANSITION

Like the river Styx (hmm)
The hate I bled out dried (ooh)
Cut with a paper knife (hmm)
"There's nothing wrong" I lied. (hmm)

Lie to me to save yourself. I should be euphoric but I've died
This knot bounded in my chest. one I never tied
I have waited so damn long, to see myself like this
But I have to die alone, sacrifice

I should be happier in my skin but I'm not
I should be prettier in my skin but I'm not
I should be one with my skin but I'm not
I'll take it off and show you my lie

I shouldn't be her but it's real
I shouldn't rewind the photo reel
I shouldn't play God for myself to feel
Who I am buried deep inside

A lie you want to believe
This schism in self-image is slipping
Strung up and burned by imagination

Every day I lose more
More that I have to lose
He couldn't identify me
His daughter, the witch, he tied the noose

I should be happier in my skin but I'm not
I should be prettier in my skin but I'm not
I should be one with my skin but I'm not
take it off and show you my lie

I shouldn't be her but it's real
I shouldn't rewind the photo reel
I shouldn't play God for myself to feel
Who I am buried deep inside

She breathes steadily.
The lights glow like bright eyes in the void
Her job is over.
With her life gone, she waits for comfort

Silence

Would there be a path forward?
Nothing that could fill the hole inside her chest

Her words, ignored
The earth distorts

Standing Still
She walks back again through the infinite fog step by step her legs start falling apart

Her life was nothing more than
An inkblot on a blank page
A speck in an empty white void
Could she have become more?

An impossible question, yet she walks
Forward she goes, for her future

Run

Two... Three... Four...

I should be happier in my skin but I'm not
I should be prettier in my skin but I'm not
I should be one with my skin but I'm not
Take it off and show you my lie

I shouldn't be her but it's real
I shouldn't rewind the photo reel
I shouldn't play God for myself to feel
Who I am buried deep inside

She breathes steadily
The stage lights glow like bright eyes in the void
Her job is over
With her life gone, she waits for comfort

Silence

Would there be a path forward?
Nothing that could fill the hole inside her chest

Her words, ignored
The earth distorts

Standing Still
(Should I be responsible?)
She walks back again through the infinite fog step by step her legs start falling apart
(Should I be the one that takes the blame?)

(Even if it's not my own fault)
Her life was nothing more than
(It's me who has to finish this game.)
An inkblot on a blank page
(Deny me my freedom)
A speck in an empty white void
(Deny me that that choice)
Could she have become more?
(Deny me my own feeling)

Deny me my voice
