aurora

I grew up in a small, small town In fact I can still see it now Through the blues and greens and whites and yellows Everything is peaceful, don't wanna go home At twilight, all's a shade of gray I keep my eyes open till the colors decay Then the fairy lights shine bright like hailstones In my dreams, I'm fast asleep in my cradle And the aurora fades Then the aurora fades My arms are growing numb In my memory, all is none But I hear her voice still ringing in my ear She's singing lullabies to quell my fears And the ocean waves play her song They laugh and they chatter, on and on They bring their news to me, they're my seer And they tell me, be sure, nothing goes wrong here Till the aurora fades When the aurora fades I sit and wait, learned from the best I took the truth out of your chest You plucked the feathers from my crest Just to place them on your head I took my leave from all of this You'll write your fables and your myths I will erase my name in it I will erase my name in them You burned my home, you stole my prayers You kept me hungry and it fed You read my journals, took my pen You wrote my story before I can I lie right here, I hear your prayers I lurk in shadows, it's been said I wait for the right time to show my hand You took my life, but so be it (Oh) Till the aurora fades Till the aurora fades
