Lights Out

Did you ever really choose your name?

Who told you what to think?

Taught you to play the game?

Domesticated from the very first breath

Told how to matter…follow the pattern

Everyday we’re slipping

Eyes wide we agree

To never stop pretending

To live in a fantasy

When the lights go off

And the voices stop

You’re a dreamer

It’s all clearer

With the lights out

Live everyday under a forced court order

Paying for your mistakes, don’t ever hesitate

Always pretending that it all makes sense

Told how to matter…follow the pattern

Everyday we’re slipping

Eyes wide we agree

To never stop pretending

To live in a fantasy

When the lights go off

And the voices stop

You’re a dreamer

It’s all clearer

With the lights out

When the lights go off

And the voices stop

You’re a dreamer

It’s all clearer

With the lights out

Believe what you want, believe what you see

Go against your reality and you’ll see

It’s clearer with the lights out

It’s clearer with the lights out

When the lights go off

And the voices stop

You’re a dreamer

It’s all clearer

With the lights out

When the lights go off

And the voices stop

You’re a dreamer

It’s all clearer

With the lights out
