Aluminum

How in every visible way you shine
as if the stars in your wake align
almost impossible to malign
But just below where you shine you burn
although i know it, i never learn
just goes to show that i can't discern
Aluminum to me
aluminium to some
you can shine like sliver all you want
but you're just aluminum
Illuminating just what you want to show
you'll never rust, but i'll never know
you can't be trusted; i can't let go
Aluminum to me
aluminium to some
you can shine like sliver all you want
but you're just aluminum
Every time you're here i forget
when you leave, you leave only regret
every time you're near i forget
everything
You're so lightweight, how can you survive
recycling moments from other's lives?
you're not as precious as you contrive
Aluminum to me
aluminium to some
you can shine like sliver all you want
but you're just aluminum
