The Life In Me by Manukai

I’ve decided to share my demos on here like I did ages and ages ago!
LYRICS:
As kids we’re like glue,
clasp hands in the mirror, lock eyes in the queue.
The window to a soul and corner to corner,
You’re a room with a view, bordering borders.
I mean, we’re breaking the surface,
And if a child’s purpose in life is to break for beauty’s sake, it’s worth it. That’s what you told me.
Like Adam and Eve, you’ll take paradise from me to prove I had it easy,
And believe me when I say “I don’t rerember everything I try to stay the same, and I don’t.”
Riding through the hood I’m related to,
Tied to arts and riches the window never opened,
Through it was fate and the credits read “hoodwinked”. Hoodwinked.
By my side, next to me.
So close, down six feet under, my heartbeat, under the life in me.
So we’re loud in the playground, quiet in the class.
You lean on my fro and now everyone knows
You’re here with me, in the hallway, on the road
In my uni brow and my full nose.
Here it’s silent, like Cain and Abel.
Remove me from my body and leave me unlabelled. You were family to me… but that’s not enough-
I relearn 500 years of handcuffs from the moment I neglect you.
I want to love and reject you,
I fear and respect you,
But I don’t think I’m equipped to deal with this.
By my side, next to me.
So close, down six feet under, my heartbeat, under the life in me.
By my side, next to me.
So close, down six feet under, my heartbeat, under the life in me.
