Lyrics
Shoot the Lights Out
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.
The story's always better than the truth
So tell me what you wanna see
And i'll give it back to you
I'm not the mystery that you hope to find
But i'm here now and i'm willing
To play the part anyway
But i'm here now and this face tells more
Than i could ever say
This isolation, my addiction
This fear of myself, my only grouse
You think you know just where i'm coming from
But you're lost now in the spotlight
As it shines upon my head
But you're lost now in the fantasy
Of everything i could have been
Shoot the lights out, and you'll see
Shoot the lights out, it's just me
Shoot the lights out, shoot the lights out
Misery divides me from the rest
And the people i don't care about
- think they know the best
Don't try to stop me now
'cause i'm gonna go
But if you tell me that you want me to be
- around, i think i'll stay
But if you bind me, i can promise
I will run with the light of day
Shoot the lights out, and i'd stay
Shoot the lights out, i might leave anyway
And then you'd never know, then you'd never know
- if it's me or my ghost
If it's me or what you want me to be
You won't know, you won't know
'cause i'd let me go
And i'm telling you i don't want me to be
The worst of what i am
And i'm telling you that i'm trying to be
A golden man
Shoot the lights out, and you'll see
Shoot the lights out, it's just me
Shoot the lights out, shoot the lights out
