Lighten Up Lyrics

Caught in the rain, now I'm wishing that I could say
"Another child killed along the tracks was causing my delays"
I'm a speaker on a podium with my hands both tied and my mouth sewn shut
Ran out of my mind and out of luck

Misspoke and told a lie, innocence thrown into the fire

Slow down, pick yourself up off the ground
Take a breath and bring yourself back to your feet

Picking fights on the lawn, bet we had it coming all along
That kid got bit by a rabid dog down the road
Lighten up your glow for me, celestial in the way that we all
Swallow our own hearts and then explode

Misspoke and told a lie, innocence thrown into the fire

Slow down, pick yourself up off the ground
Take a breath and bring yourself back to your feet
Spark that match, yeah, tell me, are you breathing?
Flame went out, but my heart's beating


I can't breathe, so I'll let the smoke consume me
Misspoke and told a lie, innocence thrown into the fire

Slow down, pick yourself up off the ground
Take a breath and bring yourself back to your feet
You've shown how even silence makes a sound
Lighten up in all your self-defeat
Spark that match, yeah, tell me, are you breathing?
(Lighten up your glow for me)
Flame went out, but my heart's beating
(Celestial in the way that we all)
Spark that match, yeah, tell me, are you breathing?
(Lighten up your glow for me)
Flame went out, but my heart's beating

The way that we'll explode
The way that we'll explode
The way that we'll explode
