Aluminum

How, in every visible way, you shine
As if the stars in your wake align
Almost impossible to malignBut just below where you shine, you burn
Although I know it, I never learn
Just goes to show that I can't discernAluminum to me, aluminum to some
You can shine like silver all you want
But you're just aluminumIlluminating just what you want to show
You'd never rust, but I'd never know
You can't be trusted, I can't let goAluminum to me, aluminum to some
You can shine like silver all you want
But you're just aluminumEvery time you're here, I forget
When you leave, you leave only regret
Every time you're here, I forget, everythingYou're so lightweight, how can you survive?
Recycling moments from others lives
You're not as precious as you contriveAluminum to me, aluminum to some
You can shine like silver all you want
But you're just aluminum
Yeah, you're just aluminum
