Lyrics: Chris Luse
Music: Chris Luse
Tell me what you see when the lights go dark
Tell me what you see Look tell me
look I'm staring at the ceiling seeing crash on my face
Every line that I read for like a slap in the face of the man
I will be coming to the mass that I may not be able to be by the layers of the past.
Forget it,
I got ghosts in my base.
I'm talking the drum.Every heartbeat,
Heavy like a war, never won.
Every friend turned distant when the glory don't come.
I'm counting every loss like it's more than a sum.
I was raised in the system that would profit my pain.
Turn this struggle to a product,
put a lock on my name.
I'm breaking out the box,
let it right in the flame.
I dont want another darli,
if u cause in my brain.
Tell me what you see when the lights go dark.
Is it you or the fear trying to play that part?
I've been running from myself, now back at the start,
trying to piece it all together from the shattered heart.
Maybe talking like they know me,
through a headlight glance.
Like they never got a soul,
when it's soul for a chance.
I've been dancing with depression in a slow romance.
If they still feel scripted like I don't got a stance.
Momma praying in the kitchen, I can hear every word.
And I got a plan, but it's feeling absurb.
When the silence get loud,
and the vision get blurry.
And your purpose feel distant like an echo when heard.
I've been trying to find peace in the bottle and smoke,
but the high only temporary,
didn't carry the joke.
Now I'm guessing for truth,
every timet that I spoke .
Like I'm building up a bridge,
but it's ready to broke.
Tell me what you see when the lights go dark.
Is it you or the fear trying to play that part?
I've been running from myself. Now back at the start.
Trying to piece it all together from the shattered heart.
Hello,
If I lose my way.
Will I find it again?
Or I'm stuck in a loop with the lies in the sin.
I've been searching for a sign.
But it hide in the wind.
I'm spinning at the sky like where do I begin?
I don't want your applause.
I want truth in my chest.
I want peace in my soul.
I don't care about the rest.
If I fall, let me fall.
When I give my best, not a puppet on the string.
Just to pass your test.
I've been walking through fire with a pin as a shield.
Every verse like a scar that I refuse to conceal.
If they hurt, let it hurt.
That's the only way healed.
I'm just speaking my reality.
This pain is the real.
Yeah
No disguise, no filter, when I'm facing me.
Every flaw, every doubt, that's what shapes me.
If I make it out alive, with my sanity.
Then I guess that's the only win they gave to me.
