Backstory, Lessons Learned, & How I Grew From This Experience

"The Need to Hide" Backstory

"The Need to Hide" Lyrics


Readjust the color or your lips in the rearview mirror

Tug a vent brush through Final-Netted hair

Stare at a questioning face with a puzzled smile

Why do you find the need to hide?

-CHORUS-

Why do you find the need to hide

Behind your Rosy-Beige foundation?

Why do you find the need to hide

In pearlescent shadows?

Why do you find the need to hide?

Why do you find the need to hide?

Why do you find the need to hide?

Slide Glazed Cinnamon on ten perfect toenails

Thumb through the pages of a Cosmopolitan

Lie crying by the phone still waiting for his call

Why do you find the need to hide?

(chorus)
