Lyla

(Album: Second Skin - 2001)

Lyla in bloom
Her innocence and
Youth stripped away
Eighteen years old
But she's lived the
Life of sixty-eight
The heartache of a mother gone
And father she's never known
So she dreams of
A better place

Scared and alone
Turning tricks and
Getting stoned to survive
Vegas sex queen
Living in a world that's
So obscene in a dead end life
At the end of every tragic day
She says this to herself
If I can hold on I know

When I find my wings
I'll fly away
Over the mountains
Over the pain
And I won't look back
'Cause I've gotta
Get away from here
I've gotta get away from here

When I find my wings
I'll fly away
Over the mountains
Over the pain
And I won't look back
When I find my wings
I'll fly away
And I'll never, never
Never look back
'Cause I've gotta
Get away from here
I've gotta get away from here
I've gotta get away from here
