THE DUKE
Walking with an aristocratic audacity
You are coolness royalty
Casually dropping capital vocabulary
Owning the most desirable discography
But you don't have any good people in your life (and are you good?)
But you don't have any love in your life (and can you love?)
​
I am sitting on your bed
Psychedelic art on the shelf
While you're recording your set
And I'm watching you be yourself
​
The hipster glasses on your nose
Cigarette in your mouth's nook
Headphones on, a DJ pose
It's a whole Raoul look
​
The limelight on you seems to be a fixation
There are always moths sticking to your sculpture
You got used to bathing in their admiration
But then each one of the moths turned into a vulture
​
They cut your wings, turned off your light
They devoured your heart and smashed your soul
They fooled your body and ate you alive
Still you just can't, you just can't let them go
You just can't let them go
You just can't let them
​
You are breathing negativity
Your energy is on a low level
Kicking it high synthetically
Still you can't seem to shake off the devil
​
I'm not sure you are even aware
That I am here, dressed all black
Merging with the darkness of your flair
You are lost and your mind is a wrack
​
Emotionally, I'm detached through and through
Never thought I'd ever feel sorry for you
'Cause I used to be one of those moths
But then I made myself turn into a dove
​
They cut your wings, turned off your light
They devoured your heart and smashed your soul
They fooled your body and ate you alive
Glad that I could, that I could let you go, you go, you go
That I could let you go, you go, you go
That I could let you go, you go, you go
That I could let you go, you go, you go
You go ...
