A little 90s alt rock, celebrating Pokemon's favorite sad sack: Mimikyu.

lyrics

--LYRICS--

What would you think if you saw me?
Would you turn away?
Cuz twenty odd years have taught me
That would be a mistake

And what would you say if my story
was unusual?
Cuz none of this was written for me
But I play the role

The smallest knot could pull apart
Unravel what I've built
Around this anxious side of me

The days are long just like the shadow
That I live under and what follows
Is the reminder of that terrible thought

That beneath these rags, behind this smile
I've walked down miles of doubt
And I can't keep it up

I'd shuffle off this tattered cloth
The suffocating quilt
But all my instincts disagree

The smallest spark, the loudest thunder
Could shock my heart and send me wandering
Through the dark where only shadows belong

But beneath these rags, behind this smile
I've walked down miles of doubt
And I can't keep it up

The days are long just like the shadow
That I live under and what follows
Is the reminder this is all that you want

But beneath these rags, behind this smile
I've walked down miles of doubt
And I can't keep it up

The sun goes down, the moon may follow
And I'll be left awake, but hollow
Cuz deep down I know I can't swallow the plot

But beneath these rags, behind this smile
I've walked down miles of doubt
And I can't keep it up
