lyrics

She doesn't talk much out of fear of exposing herself
Consumed by regret and anxiety
But when she has the nerve to speak up to anyone else
It's met by offset hostility

This patchwork quilt of concrete and steel is telling her how to think and to feel
Her mind is not hers anymore
She walks into her room and hides her face within her hands
and silently she dreams of distant lands

Return, cast off your worries and rest
beneath the bright golden leaves
And learn that peace can be found in between
The branches of the Elm tree

Feeling the weight of expectation
Solace found only in dreams

The backlit frame calls her by name revealing her shame and what she could gain
She tries to escape from its hands
Asking God for guidance as a voice now breaks the silence
And once again she dreams of distant lands
