Lights - Omar Rodríguez-López

I had a way then

Losing it all on my own

I had a heart then

But the queen has been overthrown

And I’m not sleeping now

The dark is too hard to beat

And I’m not keeping up

The strength I need to push me

You show the lights that stop me turn to stone

You shine them when I’m alone

And so I tell myself that I’ll be strong

And dreaming when they’re gone

'Cause they’re calling, calling, calling me home

Calling, calling, calling home

You show the lights that stop me turn to stone

You shine them when I’m alone

Noises, I play within my head

Touch my own skin

And hope they’ll still be there

And I think back to when

My brother and my sister slept

In another place

The only time I feel safe

You show the lights that stop me turn to stone

You shine them when I’m alone

And so I tell myself that I’ll be strong

And dreaming when they’re gone

'Cause they’re calling, calling, calling me home

Calling, calling, calling home

You show the lights that stop me turn to stone

You shine them when I’m alone

(Lights, lights, lights, lights, lights, lights)

You show the lights that stop me turn to stone

You shine them when I’m alone

And so I tell myself that I’ll be strong

Dreaming when they’re gone

'Cause they’re calling, calling, calling me home

Calling, calling, calling home

You show the lights that stop me turn to stone

You shine them when I’m alone

Home, home

(lights, lights, lights)

Home, home

(lights, lights, lights)
