Footsteps歌词

作词 : Ben Haddad
作曲 : Ben Haddad
All the cards you held close
To your chin and your nose
Are lying bare for everyone’s eyes
And the king and the queen
They politely redeem you
From your umbilical cord of lies
And you’re wondering what’s left here for you
So you’re walking down the street
And it rolls to your feet
But the turn is so fast and so cruel
And every passerby that comes near
Has your face but in the mirror
You see the countenance of another fool
And you’re wondering what’s left here to do
You may kick it all the way
To say the other side of the block
But it’ll just jet stuck
To your shoe
Where your house used to stand
And your home it once reigned
There are walls staring at void
And the windows are all shattered
And the floor it is covered
With a ceiling too heavy to hold
And the stars above are a-shining so blue
You could run like a child
To her arms open wide
And she would take you in like times before
But you know your heart is sincere
As you will disappear
For you can’t be the man she wished for
And the moment of truth is past due
So she takes off your shoes
As she untangle your noose
Saying here you’re free to do as you’re told
But your footsteps all around
They seem to remind you
That your gateway limbs are stalled
And the pathway is all spread with glue
You’re more clear in real life
Than you are in my head
You’re more near in real life
Than you are in my head
Love you’re more pretty in real life
Than you are in my head
Remember mama you said
Choice is only the privilege of few
Well she wears her flat heels
And a floral dress to kill
Lights a cigarette with the morning light
As you are stuck to her floor
You bag on the door
Let me hide in your shadow night
Let me sink in your footsteps fright
My love let me be your shadow knight
