Pride
Won't you turn away from me,
In case you find you disagree,
With the person I've become since I've wandered on my own.
Oh I wish I'd fall from sight,
From the focus in the light,
To the place where I grew up,
Or somewhere else I may belong.
You step a little bit closer,
Even though I've asked you not to,
You step a little bit closer,
And it suffocates my pride.
This skin cracks like autumn leaves,
On the surface of my street,
That I'm scared of treading on,
In case I walk too far from home.
Education fills my floors/flaws,
I've misread it all before,
There's no easy way to learn,
If I am really in control.
You step a little bit closer,
Even though I've asked you not to,
You step a little bit closer,
And it suffocates my pride.
Each time I figured I was strange,
You looked as if you didn't know.
In spite of everything I've said,
I hoped that you would never go.
I couldn't bring myself into the light,
I muttered "won't you get lost,
I'm hollow in this skin,
Stay with me and you'll recognise this soon enough.
You've got your race to run,
You've got your race to run,
So follow on.
You step a little bit closer,
Even though I've asked you not to,
You step a little bit closer,
And it suffocates my pride.
You step a little bit closer,
Because you've recognised,
That in my isolation,
I'm as cold as I am vain
