Shut The Lights Off

from Debut EP
I’ll just barely close my eyes
And move forward in time
There’s no god, no souls, no secrets
There’s nothing to find

Nothing left but the shockwaves in my brain
I get high until I can’t feel the pain

When I look outside I see no future
There’s no reason not to stay right here

If I’m gonna just fade away
I just want the feeling to stay
Just let me down easy
If I’m gonna lose all my friends
I wanna feel good til’ the end
Just shut the lights off

I sleep with both eyes wide open
And move forward in time
Everything down there seems smaller
The higher I climb

Nothing left but the fire and the rain
I get high but I still just feel the same

When I close my eyes I see a skyline
City lights scattered in the night like stars

Everything is how it should be
But until the bottles empty
Just let me down easy
I don’t have to feel my heart break
All of it will wash out either way
Just shut the lights off
