The Character of You
by Shavon
This probably won’t reach your tone
Like the sound of the phone calling E.T. back home
But the size of the wound this story consumed
All the truth in the room — bring me back home!
I ain’t gone crazy, I just don’t think these words are gonna fly
And I ain’t got sympathy to affirm you’re weak when it’s a lie
All of this magic I found in the center of a star
Told myself as I dove way down, “Just remember who you are”
There’s a character of you, and I made it all true
Yeah, look at the power I found
Your words don’t exist, just a spray in the mist
My water can drown your ground
You don’t have power, ‘cause you don’t know
Which box you should choose
You’re an illusion based on another one’s thoughts — and you lose
All of this magic I found in the center of a star
Told myself as I dove way down, “Just remember who you are”
Let Mother tell you now
Can’t you see your world is a lie?
Let the Queen lay you down
And show you just why dreams need to die
This probably won’t reach your tone
‘Cause the sound of my soul is too high
Oh, the bed’s gone cold in a primitive home
Still attached to the sky
All the magic I found, scattered seeds on the ground
Manifested my guitar
When the sun goes down, break free from the sound
And remember who you are
All of this magic I found in the center of a star
Told myself as I dove way down, “Just remember who you are”
Let Mother tell you now
Don’t you see your world is a lie?
Let the Queen lay you down
And show you just how high she can fly
