The Lights Lyrics

More that I learn

Less that I know and the more I'm confused

Ending up searching for morals and truth

Sitting emotionless, bored of the news

Bored of the news, bored of the constant outpouring of views

Seeming like everybody is an expert in everything, anything got to be true

More that I'm hearing, it's certain I'm deaf and the

Thoughts and my feelings and words are more definite

How can I take all the fear and then deafen it

Death ain't as scary but silence is deafening

Deafening

Seeming like nobody's caring, I

Think of the ways I can build up a legacy

Stare at the lights and I think that they're telling me

Let go - you don't wanna get worked up until the

Next show - you don't wanna get hurt again in the

Red though - you don't wanna be found on the floor

Face down - get up off of the canvas, you need to

Make ground - look at you, you're opening on a

Stage now - look at you, Im hoping that you don't

Fade out - mic's off, all you need to do is

Stay loud - time off, you can take it after

This night - sit tight cause you gotta go and

Rip mics, big fight coming so you better

Climb in the ring, anomalies gonna holler so

Fight em again and box em in, no apologies

Gotta beat the watch, put its back on the ropes

Get the gloves cause it's feeling like it's crunch time

It's a ringwalk, only have it one time

All you gotta do is hit 'em with a punchline

Now the lights are giving me memo's

Sometimes life will give you the elbow

Nights like this? Irrelevant- Hell no

Look em in the eyes, I'm telling em "Fair though

I wanna break the cycle, only want stability

I don't wanna even try for the fame

Looking in the mirror and it's dying away, cause I've

Become the very thing I've been fighting against

I'm fighting again and I don't have a reason for it

People asking what's wrong, say I've been exploring

Ways to meet standards, and deliver the cut

Then I tell myself that I ain't living enough

And why's it every day I think I'm winning for fun

And then I go at everyone who's giving it up

But in reality I'm always switching it up

And now I'm looking in the mirror thinking "hypocrite much"?

Do you wanna get it or what?

Cause in this time you have to try for it

You gotta put everything up and on the line for it

Put the Bible down and go eye for an eye for it

I'll die for it - I'll light up a fire for it

I might go in - I'm live on a mic for it

I fight for it - and maybe I should go and let it be

Looking at the lights and I think they're telling me

More that I learn

Less that I know but the more that I teach

Lessons and things that are larger than me

What's right in front of us hardest to see

And you've been unhinged

Taking an L and you go for revenge

You should just go and work on yourself and don't fake a defence

Doing dollar for dollar don't make any sense

But look what they did to Mahsa - a tragedy

And how can self expression be blasphemy?

Even the sanest don't have their sanity

And maybe inner peace is truly a fantasy

I may be in a piece, but who gonna blast for me?

And people on the streets, like who will attack for me?

And if I'm looking beat, then who would be backing me?

I'm trying to be me - I knew that it's challenging, but

I've been feeling unmatched, I have to be stopped

Fore my ego inflates and bleeds

All I ever wanna do is say my piece but I gotta save my peace

They tell me c'est la vie

I tell em save the beef and turn it into mince meat

Cause every syllable means time is ticking

And all I'm gonna say is if you have a grudge, end it

Cause life's too short, and when all the dust settles, I'll be singing

More that I learn

More that I know and the more I disperse

Less I feel good but I know that it's worth

More than myself and the more that I heard

The more that I hurt, I know that in turn

The more I can tell in a story with words

More that I wrote to record in a verse

I'm all the above and I know what I'm worth
