Brighten Lyrics by Jerry Cantrell

Brighten

2021

[Verse 1]
Solemn drifter
You have your days
And all these wonders
Never took your pain away

[Pre-Chorus]
Magnifiers turn your
Sunshine to hell
Time you leave this place
You know, oh, so well

[Chorus]
Brighten
Brighten

[Verse 2]
Better angels
But you don't pray
Push back on the darkness
In which you damn well like to play

[Pre-Chorus]
Now you find yourself
In the same boat again
Going out alone on this ocean
Not "if," but "when"

[Chorus]
Brighten
Brighten

[Bridge]
Only reap what you sow
Only reap what you sow

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
All your love has not
Gone to waste
Shine like starlight
Leading home from thе edge of space

[Pre-Chorus]
Magnifiеrs turn your
Sunshine to hell
Time you leave this place
You know, oh, so well

[Chorus]
Brighten
Brighten

[Bridge]
Only reap what you sow
Only reap what you sow

[Refrain]
Yeah...

[Bridge]
Only reap what you sow
Only reap what you sow

[Chorus]
Brighten
Brighten
