Cut the Lights Lyrics

Try and walk up the hill, staying still, treadmill

Exertion for real, so tired is how I feel

Never give up but I’m feeling to tall for the ceiling

To big for the hidey hole, small for a villain

No I never had a home in my head, so gone

All alone ‘till I’m dead, no one

2019, fuck a baby now Brenda's got a gun

Nobody give a fuck about nothing on the run

On the cool, on the down low, I see the streets is seedy

Never beat me ‘cause I’m leaving the rest of ‘em being greedy

Being fearless ain’t easy, I know that the vultures see me

On the scene but never leave the house, it’s the bottle, I’m the genie

I’m a medium through the flow, I speak to the spirit

But I’m speaking to myself ‘cause none of ‘em seem to hear it

I sit alone in silence, stress forever grow

Add pressure to the sinus, my guess that it will blow

Cut the lights, yeah, live my life in the dark

Cut the lights, yeah, you can’t lie to the heart

Cut the lights, yeah, keep your gaze at the clock

‘Cause when minutes turn to hours then the days will never stop

I can see the pressure pressing down every second

Death beckons but I’m stepping away from his presence

I wanna live, the words sound so ridiculous

From somebody who lived like this, drown in the abyss

I’m mounted up in this bitch, and riding front of the vanguard

Enemies getting close, catapults hitting the land hard

Metaphor for a guy not quite right, the man scarred

Brain in turmoil, big fires leave the land charred

I wanna do good but often misunderstood

They see the flames in my eyes and always ending up shook

A wise king surveys the board before he switches with the rook

Only after knight and bishop leave the picture, read the book

See the clues, solve the puzzle, all we really lack is time

Mind’s vision getting fuzzy, seems I really have to try

To see the picture clear as day, days go by, the nights fly

Hours eat the minutes then the seconds die

Cut the lights, yeah, live my life in the dark

Cut the lights, yeah, you can’t lie to the heart

Cut the lights, yeah, keep your gaze at the clock

‘Cause when minutes turn to hours then the days will never stop

Cut the lights, yeah, live my life in the dark

Cut the lights, yeah, you can’t lie to the heart

Cut the lights, yeah, keep running ‘till your free

Shut the mind off, eyes shut, until you sleep

Until you sleep, until you sleep, until you sleep, until you sleep
