The Lights

The lights dance around in my mind 'til I can't sleep at night
Then I hide in the dark in the day 'til I can see that light
But I feel them shadow pulling me
They tugging on my soul
And I feel them lights burning me
They're burnin' 'til its cold
But I feel them shadows pulling me
They're tugging on my soul -oul -oul -oul oul
And I feel them lights pulling me
They're telling me to go, oh

The lights dance around in my mind 'til I cant sleep at night
Then I hide in the dark in the day 'til I can see that light
But I feel em shadows pulling me
They tugging on my soul
And I feel them lights burnin' me
They burnin' 'til its cold
But I feel em shadows pulling me
They're tugging on my soul -oul -oul -oul oul
And I feel them lights burnin' me,
They tellling me to go, oh

Late night conversations with a girl
Who I know I can never have, 'cuz she cant fit in my world
They say pressure creates precious thing, like pearls and diamonds
But I've seen dark things come from shinning
So many nights I spent on my feet well I dont feel asleep
Its not that we're afraid of what we can be, but what we will be
I need someones loving hands to reach out and heal me
I watch childhood movies to smile and remind me that I'm still me
'Cuz I fucked up in the real world
So thankful that I have a son and not a lil' girl
Because I dont call home every night
I hear his voice and I breakdown, cry
I see the pictures of him growin' and I hide because I'm on a different road every night
And I'm doing different shows every night
But it beats selling dope every night
Standing infront of crowds who might love it or hate it
Sacrificing time with my son to preform infront of possible racists, tastless crowds where I give it my all
And keep searching 'til love is found
Makeup with they hands, jump around, and then touch the ground

The lights dance around in my mind 'til I cant sleep at night
And I hide in the dark in the day 'til I can see that light
But I feel them shadows pulling me
They tuggin' on my soul
And I feel them lights burnin' me
They burnin til its cold
But I feel them shadows pulling me
They're tugging on my soul -oul -oul -oul oul
And I feel them lights burning me
Ther're telling me to go, oh

Trying to find heaven, I've raised hella
But life is like photography, you need the negatives to develope
So I step back, remind myself and cherish every moment
The highers are that much higher, when the lows are the lowest
And we need those sweet moments to remind us to keep going
Starring down the barrel of a gun isn't the opportune time to blow it
But sometimes we need those moments, sometimes we need those moments
Like god reminding us how small we are in the middle of the ocean
When the waves come crashing, they show you how weak your human control is
You can out a coat on, but you cant stop it rainin' and stowin', but we try
Oh lord knows we try
No matter how many surgeries we have, you still goin to die when its time

The lights dance around in my mind 'til I cant sleep at night
And I hide in the dark in the day 'til I can see that light
But I feel them shadows pulling me
They tuggin' on my soul
And I feel them lights burnin' me
They burnin til its cold
But I feel them shadows pulling me
They're tugging on my soul -oul -oul -oul oul
And I feel them lights burning me
Ther're telling me to go, oh
