about

My best friend in high school pursed modeling. Rightly so, she was beautiful. But it's tough to be a kid in an industry like that. To be told one thing by everyone around you only to have this new world make you believe they were all lying.

lyrics

And we stare up at the stars wondering how we’ll make it through these days
Searching for answers written across the sky but solemnly drawing blanks
But they’ve got their hearts set on a dire dream on breathing in an industry that’s self-destructive
Devising plans to one day emulate everything they think they ought to be

And they’re screaming
But we can’t hear them
As profit margins dance up with the clouds we hope one day it all comes crashing down
And sleeps in graveyards

They stare up at the screen exchanging innocence and self-esteem
For distorted views of orchids past full bloom and bare leaf trees with withered, barren roots
With matches fueling our intentions we’ll be dancing on the ashes of what held us down, what choked us up
And we’ll scream for a new confidence and a self-respect we thought we’d never feel, again
