Light In The Shadows
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Light in the shadows isn't what they make it out to be
You air your regret from your past and future destiny
This world is killing you
It's obviously killing me
Power corrupts abso-fucking-lutely
At the end of ropes with back against the bloody wall
This attitude won't pass
Those chips, they will surely fall
Can't dig your way out through this human flesh
Peel back your eyes, expose what's truly best!
Cause you don't understand
The gravity of the situation
You don't understand
The gravity
The gravity
Don't you cry because it all seems that it's over now
Those who mind don't matter
So it all seems better now
Is it just a game, or are we playing safe?
It's hard to say, my perception isn't what it seems!
I'm selfish
Impatient
Insecure
Often mistaken
Out of control
Dismayed
I'm unsafe
Let's generate!
Light in the shadows isn't what they make it out to be
You air your regret from your past and future destiny
This world is killing you
It's obviously killing me
Power corrupts abso-fucking-lutely
Cause you don't understand
The gravity of the situation
You don't understand
The gravity
The gravity
Sometimes, sometimes it's better to just give up
Sometimes it's better to lose, to lose
Sometimes it's better to just give up, just give up...
Sometimes, it's better to just give up! Just give up!
Cause you don't understand
The gravity of the situation
You don't understand
The gravity
The gravity
I'm selfish
Impatient
Insecure
Often mistaken
Out of control
Dismayed
I'm unsafe
Let's generate!
