Behind The Aura

Whenever I'm dressed cool
My parents put up a fight (uh huh uh huh)
And if I’m hotshot mom will cut my hair at night (uh-huh uh-huh)
And in the morning I’m short of my identity (uh-huh uh-huh)
I scream mom and dad why can’t I be who I wanna be? (uh huh uh huh)
To be

I just wanna be myself and I want you to love
Me for who I am
I just wanna be myself and I want you to know
I am my hair

I've had enough
This is my prayer
That I'll die living just as free as my hair
I've had enough
This is my prayer
That I'll die livin' just as free as my hair
I've had enough
I'm not a freak
I just keep fightin' to stay...

I won't break down today
another brick's in my way of shadows
the promises they made
regret themselves and say "this is too hard"

yeah, they say you grow when you don't succeed
but it's hard to breathe when no one believes in me

so let the sound bring me back
sounds have no regrets
and before you know it

I'll take your words and be gone
your words and be gone (2x)
right to the stars and beyond
your words and be gone
I'll take your words and be gone

whenever you're afraid
or someone's far away, never give in
'cause happily we'll reign
when consequences change, believe you can win

yeah, they say you grow when...
