Lights Turned Off

We've been totally terrible and entitled we are changing reality to an abstract
It really matters that we are fooling ourselves to accept that critical thinking gets you laughed at
We need to live our lives and finally look inside to find the shame awaiting
You want to just survive rather than be alive so take the path less taken

We've been totally terrible and entitled we are driving society to a bad end
It really matters that we are fooling ourselves to believe our family and friends are really mad men
We need to live our lives and read between the lines to find how far we're straying
You want to just survive rather than take your time and see the games you're playing

We're waiting with the lights turned off
So while were lost
We're tumbling through the void
Ignoring all the warning signs, they're flying by
Our love has been destroyed
And if we decide to be courageous
Someone's waiting to cry foul
By being unintelligent, you become irrelevant
I will always stand my ground, now

I've been putting lines together making certain the words I'm using come off as clever
And every time I rhyme I'm imagining a lever that if I pull I'd endeavor never to let the memory holing prevent me The opportunity to remember
Things like where I'm from and things I'll love forever like sunny and cloudy weather
We're all in this thing together, and whether or not the ember ascends to height of splendor
My skin remains tough as leather and I will never surrender
I've been on the kind of bender to change the current perception, that being a mad dissenter
Is being full of deception, but that is not an acceptable definition to mention I'm trying to open eyes and deny all the misconceptions, and everything I have mentioned has come from a place of passion and actually taking action is better than having fashionable opinions cuz no one wins if the truth is hidden and in the past this was happening and no one actually listens
cuz fiction is not the truth but when used to make people miss, makes all of us who are wishing a part of an evil system

And I refuse to be bullied into submission, I'm fixing the holes I witness and scared of the ones I'm missing
And I refuse to be bullied into submission, I'm fixing the holes I witness and scared of the ones I'm missing
And I refuse to be bullied into submission, I'm fixing the holes I witness and scared of the ones I'm missing
And I refuse to be bullied into submission

We're waiting with the lights turned off
So while were lost
We're tumbling through the void
Ignoring all the warning signs, they're flying by
Our love has been destroyed
And if we decide to be courageous
Someone's waiting to cry foul
By being unintelligent, you become irrelevant
I will always stand my ground
