Kill the Light

[Verse 1]
In the light
Another time
Another life that could be mine
A story made - to fit the part
The image of the man
You thought must live inside the art

[Pre-Chorus]
Drew your blood to draw the line
You were crossing back and forth in rhyme
You never even thought to shut your mouth
Cut your flesh to fit the scar
Tell the lie of who you are
But you never were that hard to figure out

[Chorus]
Kill the light - in your eyes
Was there nothing to be said
That would not make you want to die?
Kill the light, bring the dark
You punished them for loving you
And told them it was art

[Verse 2]
It’s a lie to say they want you
To always tell the truth
No one cares what you’ve been through
They didn’t want you
They only came to…

[Chorus]
...Kill the light - in your eyes
Was there nothing you could say
When they were longing for a lie?
Kill the light, bring the dark
You punished them for loving you
And promised it was art

[Bridge 1]
They needed you to be
Better than them
Better than anyone could be
But you were human
Damn your heart

[Bridge 2]
Who can say why?
Or what reasons drove you?
You always said that you would live and die for art
(Die for art)

[Chorus]
Kill the light - in your eyes
Was there nothing to be said
That would not make you want to die?
Kill the light, bring the dark
You punished them for loving you
And told them it was art

[Outro]
(Die for art, die for art)
(Die for art, die for art)
Die for art, die for art
Die for art, die for art
