lyrics

Flagpoles tinkering in a maze of pavement
Lights that strip the colors off
Cinder-blocks that listen
Windows watch the sorrow
and your words make hollow sounds

But from your mind they took a child
An assuming thing to pressure
And like a child you lost your mind
Just like a child

The chemicals that made you betrayed your expectations
Was it really there before?
Who you are won't matter when they're done with you
But you never knew her at all

But from your mind they took a child
Unassuming thing
To pressure
And like a child you lost your mind
Just like a child

Feel like you're breaking at their hands
Feel like they'll break you
It doesn't matter
Barbiturate your way back and
Make them so proud to call you their daughter
Fall back behind the veil again
Fall back to shadow
It doesn't matter
Feel like you're breaking at their hands
Feel like they'll break you into a man

But from your mind they took a child
And from your fear they brandished an iron
And with your trust they delivered a lie
They got deep inside to save you

Elusive Reflections
by Persona

supported by 5 fans who also own “Like a Child (Bonus Track)”

It's a great blend of different metal genres and styles, with great solos in basically every song, just that touch of oriental influences that feel natural but not artificial and above all else, performed by the beautiful, haunting voice of Jelena Dobric, who uses it in a way that is not the typical operatic approach as we are used to from other female-fronted bands wormys_queue
