Lighthouse

Tongue tied at some gathering

Please don’t talk to me

with bookshelf ready heavy speak

I can’t compete

And I'm frozen

Frozen

Oohh

Lighthouse, shine out

Show me what’s inside my name

Tell me not to be ashamed

“Come out,” I shout

I'm bleeding out a backdrop I cannot erase

but I don’t want to be ashamed

Of going,

going home

Humbled in your company

I didn’t want to eat

the bitter bud of jealousy

But I fell too weak

too empty,

empty

ooohhh

Lighthouse, shine now

Show me what’s inside my name

Tell me not to be ashamed

“Come out,” I shout

I'm bleeding out a backdrop I cannot erase

but I don’t want to be ashamed

No I don't want to be ashamed

of going, going home
