Illusion of Safety

from Hiraeth by Mailto

/

about

The sixth track of my sophomore album, Hiraeth.

One of the biggest things I've been getting over during the process of writing this album was portraying emotion. I've only in the past few songs felt really comfortable writing things outside of depressed or euphoric, and writing an angry song was definitely on the bucket list!! I'm really happy with how this one came out, and I hope y'all jam to it as much as I do :)

lyrics

[Chorus]

Just because you have the illusion of,
safety does not mean you're safe to run
Prying eyes and nods all behind closed doors
I think today you may seem to find

Another sense of danger behind the lies
You're gonna gonna gonna not be alright
It seems so obvious
And I find it obvious

[Verse 1]

I don't think you know how I detest you
While you stare outside of your fucking test tube
You are not safe
You are not safe

Bitch you know you are soft
Yeah you know your aim is off, ayy
You never leave your room
Sucks you fell off so soon
Take it from me
I'm your head rent free
This is my year, bitch, get out the way
I gotta say, I'm gettin wins for the gays,
Yeah fuck you dude not today

[Bridge]

Another day, another time, another way to say goodbye (12x)

I always thought
The most beautiful time of day
The sun melts into the river
Now (x2)

[Chorus]

Just because you have the illusion of,
safety does not mean you're safe to run
Prying eyes and nods all behind closed doors
I think today you may seem to find

Another sense of danger behind the lies
You're gonna gonna gonna not be alright
It seems so obvious
And I find it obvious

[Verse]

Everybody wanna be a rebel
'til they take a hit
And get so disheveled
Nah I take a hit and I get up
I'm not gotta fix my makeup

I do not care what you think
I wear my fursuit all mink
You write your shit off rhymezone
I'm thinkin different, no iPhone

[Bridge]

Another day, another time, another way to say goodbye (4x)

Hey, I'm Asher, or Mailto. I make music I guess. I like pretending to be a human on the internet. When I turn off the computer I leave and go be a coyote in the wild. The life.
