A Spotlight Lyrics by Hotel Books

Equivalency II: Everything We Left Out

2019

[Verse 1]
Trouble comes when you find anything that you think justify revenge
Trouble comes when you find anything that you think justify revenge
Don't let your anger lend itself to violence
'Cause I know that there's a difference
Between being good or weak at heart
So start to love instead
There's a difference between being asleep and being dead
And you have value, even if you don't have intent
In a spotlight, it's not you, it's not your value, I promise
A spotlight, it's not you, it's not your value, I promise
A spotlight, it's not you, it's not your value, I promise
So love instead
[Verse 2]
Sometimes it feels like we all have weapons but we don't have any targets to fire at
So we put our pain behind a mask, wait for a shallow enemy and then we quickly fire back
I've learned that if you feel like the world doesn't care about your feelings, the feelings of others should still matter to you
I've learned scolding is not a substitute for change
Anyone could come back home
At least I believe it's true
[Verse 3]
I'll never make it home
Unless you let me leave
I'm always here to try
'Cause I know I still believe
I've learned the interconnectivity between people through technology means that we all pay for the sins of a small percentile of idiots who realize their souls are poor
And as I move on through the ways and phases of things I've made, I hope you understand
It's not about taking from others, it's about allowing your heart to experience more
I've realized that what other people think of me is none of my business
And chasing the right verse to sing when I felt pain became a vortex of artistic compromise
And I'm worn out, comprised of my ability to let go of my own mislessons
And I'm telling you, chasing a fading flame is no way to live
[Outro]
A spotlight, it's not you, it's not your value, I promise
A spotlight, it's not you, it's not your value, I promise
A spotlight, it's not you, it's not your value, I promise
So love instead
A spotlight, it's not you, it's not your value, I promise
A spotlight, it's not you, it's not your value, I promise
A spotlight, it's not you, it's not your value, I promise
So love instead
