Aura
Yeah you,
Strut around in your three piece suit,
kicked them down when you knew you could.
And I was dancing in my docs and my black skinny jeans,
and I never really fit in your messed up theme.
I’ve got a pinned up smile and laced up skin,
and a never ending vacuum that my heart sits in.
And I can’t seem to scratch my way out of this paper house,
you built it all on worry all my fears and doubt.
And your aura was a haze of cigarette smoke,
and you were all I lived for till you let me choke.
Set fire to the tight rope wouldn’t let me stop,
falling down.
And your aura was a haze of cigarette smoke,
and you were all I lived for till you let me choke.
Set fire to the tight rope wouldn’t let me stop,
falling down.
Yeah you, pinned me down as I counted tiles,
turned me into a helpless child.
And I never understood the weird ways of the world,
you see everything was in the form of strings and pearls.
I’ve written so many songs you could fill a book on how,
you can destroy me with a single look.
On the way I put you on the highest pedestal,
on the way you always told me how you had to settle.
And your aura was a haze of cigarette smoke,
and you were all I lived for till you let me choke.
Set fire to the tight rope wouldn’t let me stop,
falling down.
And your aura was a haze of cigarette smoke,
and you were all I lived for till you let me choke.
Set fire to the tight rope wouldn’t let me stop,
falling down.
