lyrics

Damn some people lead a good life,
Raised up right,
That spotlight
Shining from up high down on them so bright
But from that height
I can't quite climb
I tried to claim
Got to midnight
And it stayed like
A dark night
So I put up a fight
and said I had to flight
Or flee this destination for another not quite like

"When you gonna go and settle down, you don't know.
how long you gonna stay so all alone, you can't cope"

Fight or flight into this dark night
Bright lights fading from sight
And try all you might but you will not write
Or hype to insight this fire or ignite this
Riot

Damn some people get strung out
On that clout
And act out like they don't need help
Pushing the peoples patience like they need to pout
When really they're treading water they're not Michael Phelps
They need to get some help
They didn't win that race
They're not in first place
Because the goal that they chased
Was just a mild disgrace
They ended up with no mates
When they pushed them all away and

"When you gonna go and settle down, you don't know.
how long you gonna stay so all alone, you can't cope"

Fight or flight into this dark night
Bright lights fading from sight
And try all you might but you will not write
Or hype to insight this fire or ignite this
Riot

That's not your fire to be starting
Or I'm wrong and denying
(peace out)

Bright lights fade into dark nights fade into bright lights
fade into dark nights fade into bright lights fade into dark nights fade into bright lights fade into
Dark nights fade into bright lights
fade into dark night fade into bright lights fade into
Dark nights
Bright lights
Dark nights
