deep in the cover of russet and green
i move like my brother, i know i’m not seen
out in the world shine like light through the leaves
then come to the woods to feel clean
i was a stain scrubbed from family lands
they must of known then i’d have blood on my hands
we left to find mother, knew she’d understand
we found the destruction; we ran
nothing from nothing is not how i’ll stay
so i’ll cling to the treasures i find on the way
gold and good people, collect them the same
i’ll know what it means to be safe
the aching is soothed by the wealth we’ve amassed
but old hurts and scarring need cures that will last
i’ll earn a new future to buy out my past
new fortune, new family, hold fast
again i learn safety is not guaranteed
my life for another, my brother to plead
and loosed like an arrow, a burning new need
i take to the sky; i am freed
i know i am charming, i know i am swift
but the trees see right through me, a wound and a gift
i cut out the cancer and choose to forgive
i choose to let go, choose to live
nothing from nothing is not how i’ll stay
i’ll plant a new forest and find my own way
loved and worth loving — i feel them the same
i know what it means to be safe

I discovered this band mere weeks ago through pure chance; someone recommended Fair in a discussion about wholesome songs. And it was; love at first listen. YouTube recommended me Battle Cries next, so I gave that a listen too, and the the energy and the overlapping lyrics made me fall in love anew.
I bought this album and Ruin less than a day later. Everything TAD have made is true art, different from everything else I've heard. Mayana

TTBT has some of my favorite songs written by The Mechs. Iphis is my personal favorite due to its ties with Greek Mythology, but it's definitely an album I have on repeat constantly. yumeinati
