Aura

Your favorite color is the color of my aura
are or aren't you going to take me home?
that old religion switch hits and pitches visions my piss and vinegar cannot condone
that I might lose refuge to something so unreal
steals my two eyes off you
I just want to be naked and weightless before I lose it too
Down to the river
under the water
I found a savior down at the bottom
down to the river
under the water
I found a savior down at the bottom
pretty little miss litmus gives kisses on the wrist with a twist of a limp fist
stop, no God, I'm no Lolita
I won't follow the leader
but man I wish I was pretty like that, pretty like that, pretty like that
but I'd never be free like that, free like that, free like that
I sing "Jolene" and crash, bleed and cry, rally and laugh
I go down to the water, to the water,
Down to the river
under the water
I found a savior down at the bottom
down to the river
under the water
and there's freedom in letting go
breathing the toxins out of my lungs
and nearly dying I look above to the vital surface
keeping my eyes on a higher sun
and if you're meant to be with me you'll be
if you see what I see
someday won't we laugh at this
when our fist is one?
until then...
Down to the river
under the water
I found a savior down at the bottom
down to the river
under the water
Your favorite color is the color of my aura aura
