I've never been a touchy-feely -
Sang to crowd out my emotions.
But sometimes I forget I'm human
And something in me wants connection.
I want a hug, it's true
No, I don't love you (not that way)
Don't need a hand to hold (nah-uh)
Just a hug to say
You're a friend today
And that life is not so cold.
I find it hard to show true colours -
Prefer to blend in with the view.
But sometimes I forget we're human
And a patchwork's what we do.
I want a hug, it's true
No, I don't love you (not that way)
Don't need a hand to hold (nah-uh)
Just a hug to say
You're a friend today
And that life is not so cold.
Sometimes it's a lonely world and
People come and people go.
Let's agree to stick around
Find a friend in friends we've found.

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
Heavy alt-rock riffage with elements of industrial and tech-metal and a cinematic scope from New Jersey trio Return to Earth. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 22, 2022
