Brighter Me Lyrics by Kai Straw

Illuminarium

2019

[Verse 1]
This is all trouble, she says
You're  looking like a double of you, she says
Like  those eyes looking at me are some other color, she says
Like why you drink so much
I love you but crying to sleep so much, I'm done with it
I  looked her in the eye
And  I said you can't get this from kissing your wife

[Chorus]
See life is a dream now
I  feel peaceful
I feel freedom otherwise I can't reach
This ain't a glass, it's a type of key
To where they keep the brighter me

[Verse 2]
It's  like I got a monster, I says
It gets quiet when I chug a mug of lager, I says
And let me tell you it's a bit a hell living with him around, I says
So why I drink so much
I'll tell you, my mind's a hive of bees
They're yelling that I got no worth in my life
Like somehow I'm best with worms in my eyes

[Chorus]
See life is a dream now
I feel peaceful
I feel freedom otherwise I can't reach
This ain't a glass, it's a type of key
To where they keep the brighter me
