Strange Her - A Brackish Understanding lyrics

There was nowhere to go So you tried to find your own way back You heard her call you out You might avert your eyes but you can't hide From the sound, singing your name, in the crowd--and outside your door… every night There was no light to guide you That night she followed you back home You fell in love with an image But did you notice the scales under these clothes Now every time you visit Another part of you doesn't want to float ‘Cause down there at the bottom They don't worry about skin and bones And that's the lie we're always told Just take this down and let it go You're the only one that doesn't know That's the lie we're always told As pride dissolves, your mind recalls A memory of a different life This lie we're fed is just a pill That fills in the lines Between yourself and how you want to feel Closer to what you see on the surface, and what you need to carry you home
