Lights Out Lyrics by Benjamin Poss

Brainwashed

2017

[Verse 1]
Just a kid with a dream
On the edge of destiny
The space you're floating in between
Your ribs could rise eternally

[Pre Chorus]
Surface, what have you done?
Why is being you never enough?

[Chorus]
You only love yourself when the lights are out
Cause there's no-one there to hear you cry
You only love yourself when the lights are out
Why can't you love yourself? You wanna be someone else

[Verse 1]
Hearts quickly turn to stone
In a world in love with their telephone
Hold your head in constant pain
Numb what's left of your brain

[Pre Chorus]
Surface, what have you done?
Why is being you never enough?

[Chorus]
You only love yourself when the lights are out
Cause there's no-one there to hear you cry
You only love yourself when the lights are out
Why can't you love yourself? You wanna be someone else

[Refrain]
Turn the lights out. Turn the lights out
You only love you when the lights out
Turn the lights out. Turn the lights out
No I don't wanna turn the lights out
Turn the lights out. Turn the lights out
You only love you when the lights out
Turn the lights out. Turn the lights out

[Chorus]
You only love yourself when the lights are out
Cause there's no-one there to hear you cry
You only love yourself when the lights are out
Why can't you love yourself? You wanna be someone else
