Light Goes Out Lyrics

LIGHT GOES OUT

All I wanna say are the only words with any meaning yeah
And I feel that way even though there's some who feel nothing at all
But we're not like that, and you know and you know we got our reasons
We've never been like that cuz there ain't no safety where they sink and so
Don't let 'em shake you up so easy, no
They'll never shake us off so easy, oh
All I wanna say are the only words with any meaning yeah
And I'll be that way till the light goes

So familiar with the abstract, ever out of reach and the pattern of it all
From the colors and the cast-outs to the unknown, I could never turn it off
I kept up with the verses in my head, running right along beside them all day
At some point, well I found myself wondering if I was even running or just
running away.

I wanna live an honest life, wanna make myself right for whatever's gonna come
I see no purpose in avoiding the struggle inside like it isn't going on
Some say that you're probably better off, so ignore it anytime that you can
But how it is we'd be better off for it, really, I don't understand.
I won't ever understand.
