In The Wilds

In The Wilds #music #pop #emo #alternative Lyrics: They tried to keep me in a pretty little cage... Painted golden, lined with silk and pearls... But I learned to bite the hand. Lost the language of the polished and the kept Traded silver spoons for the dirt where I slept Mama doesn't know me when I come back through the door 'Cause I'm wearing all the wild like a coat now, like a war They said "be a lady," I said "be afraid" Combed the moonlight through my teeth like a blade Every Sunday dress is buried in the moss Every prayer I learned I traded for a wolf's Hear the trees, hear the trees... They are calling out my name... Hear the trees, hear the trees... And they're calling me by something I forgot... I'm in the wilds now, I'm in the wilds No one's coming to civilize the smile Born in lace but I learned to wear the night I'm in the wilds now, and I'm doing just fine Howl, howl, daughter of the dirt Bones remember everything that hurts Pretty things go missing in the trees I'm in the wilds now, and the wilds are in me Found a girl in the river with my old face She was begging me to take her place I just laughed and let her sink below the foam The wilds, the wilds are home City girls in their cages drink their wine and pose They don't know what a real woman knows That you cannot be devoured if you're already a beast And I'm the wolf at the feast Hear the trees, hear the trees... They are calling out my name... Hear the trees, hear the trees... And they're calling me by something I become... I'm in the wilds now, I'm in the wilds No one's coming to civilize the smile Born in lace but I learned to wear the night I'm in the wilds now, and I'm doing just fine Howl, howl, daughter of the dirt Bones remember everything that hurts Pretty things go missing in the trees I'm in the wilds now, and the wilds are in me You sent search parties, sent your prayers, sent your priests... You sent everyone who said they loved me to retrieve... But the girl you're looking for... She's not here anymore. Take a good look in the trees What you raised has set itself free What you feared was always inside I just stopped trying to hide THIS IS WHO I AM! THIS IS WHO I AM! YOU CAN'T COME GET ME, I'M AT HOME! THIS IS WHO I AM! The wilds, baby... Always were. I'm in the wilds now, I'm in the wilds No one's coming to civilize the smile Born in lace but I learned to wear the night I'm in the wilds now, and I'm doing just fine Howl, howl, daughter of the dirt Bones remember everything that hurts Pretty things go missing in the trees I'm in the wilds now, and the wilds are in me... They tried to keep me in a pretty little cage...
