Aurora - CANDOUR

It was the murmurs of cold that was enough to freeze time

It was the old stones of hope, that pushed me over the line

You used to be the brilliant glow that stained every city skyline

But soon you began to fade away like a regrettable tattoo reminding you of a bad time

It was the murmurs of cold that made the scarlet letters news

You thought yourself a God but you were a silent thief on the loose

Everything is a lie until you say one thing that's true

You plundered every offering like it belonged to you

It was the murmurs of cold that made it so hard to apologize

You were wishing on endless pennies until the waters reached starboard side

Like frozen empathy stuck in a timeless loop

You kept looking for the exit but all you found again was a tainted version of you

It was the murmurs of cold that made the labyrinth realise

That with every turn you made you were beginning to lose sight

Everything you knew about yourself was now dark as night 

But when the sun shone a little it was all ashen white

It was the murmurs of cold that froze your soul till it was numb

Pressed you for secrets you swore you would never let out

And you only get older when you feel too used

Until then you're just useful and everybody loves you

It was the murmurs of cold that made you realize

That when you said you had it figured out it was all just a helpless cry

It was painfully apparent that no one really thought you were cool

They thought you were just lucky and they could do it better than you.
