I'Ve Lost My Aura

I’ve lost my Aura

Life and soul of the party
We light up the room
Charismatic, charming, engaging
Life’s spirit incarnate   
That’s me and my Aura, folks 
We are untouchable, reigning supreme
Blazing along life’s highway on our Pulsating Light tour

From nowhere, the snap of the straw and an apocalyptic explosion
My personal life’s reactor goes into meltdown

Something has happened
I am ill and I don’t know why
I look in a mirror
I see a face staring back at me
Its eyes are black and face ashen grey
Is this the man that once was me?
Or is it the thing I have become?

I’ve lost my Aura



Face and body, contorted and wrinkled
The strength has gone, spirit and soul have packed their bags
No confidence, focus, energy or desire
My spiritual ambience has had its brightest moments, now the light fades

It only briefly dares to look straight ahead
It despises its own image
Confidence shattered, terrified of engagement
No light anymore, gone, consumed by black nothingness

Aura, I have lost you
Where will I find you? 
What did I do?
Please forgive me
I need you back Aura
Is this divorce?

The reflection fades, and with it, my life with you
Goodbye and thanks for the memories
I hear there is a good gig going on without us, and its playing our tunes
