Flashlights

(D) If this is how I was born its logical it should kill me
I learn from each thing that is done by me and to me
Grew me a set of roots and now I'm flourishing
The suns rays give me courage enough to face a headless darkness
Its body developing as the candle burns the last of its wick
Subtly gathering its wits as a molten puddle
With life comes jackets
With night comes another crack at a new dawn
It's the same old sack of shit with a new song
But hes been practicing on the fresh pages
No matter how hard the mirror tried
It couldn't possibly hope to contain the faceless
I'm into visualizing, individualizing
Living at the tip of the peninsula bitch and the waters rising
I hooked up a defibrillator to each one of my eyelids
In hopes of seeing something new and exciting
But it didn't work
It looks like the powers out
Now were out under the moon
How am I supposed to see my way off this island?
(flashlights)

(N)Everything's illuminated that's what they all said
But I just witnessed a thousand candles snuffed out in the distance
Now the smokes infiltrating the brightest of corridors
They're laughing at the party standing behind them the four horseman
Bringing the four wars in, we've been forewarned
I'm like a prophet that lost my foresight now I'm feeling forlorn
Because everyones ignoring the warning signs of Jonah
Snort another line the marijuana bring it on ya
Now they're deep dish cooking brains like its lasagna
And I don't want to be the one to bring bad news to your mama
They said its darkest right before the dawn
You've got to strain your vocal cords to sing that perfect song
There's a light shining bright within you, I can see it
Quit hiding, peel back your skin illuminate reveal it (yeah)
