Lighten Up

(Album: All Out - 2019)

Caught in the rain
Now I'm wishing that I could say
"Another child killed along the tracks
Was causing my delays"
I'm a speaker on a podium
With my hands both tied and my mouth sewn shut
Ran out of my mind and out of luck

Misspoke and told a lie
Innocence thrown into the fire

Slow down, pick yourself up off the ground
Take a breath and bring yourself back to your feet

Picking fights on the lawn
Bet we had it coming all along
That kid got bit by a rabid dog
Down the road
Lighten up your glow for me
Celestial in the way that we all
Swallow our own hearts
And then explode

Misspoke and told a lie
Innocence thrown into the fire

Slow down, pick yourself up off the ground
Take a breath and bring yourself back to your feet
Spark that match, yeah, tell me are you breathing?
Flame went out but my heart's beating

(The way that we all
The way that we all
The way that we all)

I can't breathe
So I'll let the smoke consume me
Misspoke and told a lie
Innocence thrown into the fire

Slow down, pick yourself up off the ground
Take a breath and bring yourself back to your feet
You're shown how even silence makes a sound
Lighten up in all your self-defeat
Spark that match, yeah, tell me are you breathing?
(Lighten up your glow for me)
Flame went out but my hearts beating
(Celestial in the way that we all)
Spark that match, yeah, tell me, are you breathing?
(Lighten up your glow for me)
Flame went out, but my heart's beating

(The way that we all
The way that we all
The way that we all
The ways that we explode)
The way that we explode
