Aurora

(album: Culling Culture - 2021)

Little one, go lock your bedroom door
I know you shouldn't have too, you never have done before
But like the shadows chase the sunshine away into the night
There's a darkness coming for you that consumes all of your light

Close your eyes
And clear your mind
And pray that the sunrise
Will put all your wrongs to right

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree
But you can grow into the person that you choose to be
Regardless of your past or family
You can achieve your dreams if you just have some self belief

There's darkness right to my core
I can't find who I was before
Aurora ignite my bones
You're not the mistakes you've made
You are the knowledge you've gained
Don't measure your worth in gold
A fortune untold

If I could go back to stop all the pain
I would give my life just to keep you safe
I know it's hard to understand how and why
That those with bad intentions always have the easiest ride
But the heavy hearted just have further to climb
So although it's steep when you reach the peak your troubles will be out of sight

There's darkness right to my core
I can't find who I was before
Aurora ignite my bones
You're not the mistakes you've made
You are the knowledge you've gained
Don't measure your worth in gold
A fortune untold

Close your eyes
And clear your mind
And pray that the sunrise
Will put all your wrongs to right
