Light Up Lyrics by Rachel Rose Mitchell

Shadow Puppets

2015

[Verse 1]
I used to understand you
No, that's misleading, I still do
You've always been so proud of
The hurricane that follows you
[Pre-Chorus]
And you're demanding, outstanding
You're high above the rest
And you love to let everybody know
You're the Queen Bee and we'll see
You're nothing but the best
And you never let it go
[Chorus]
It's never been in question
Whether you have got direction
But you need to stay grounded
It's for everyone's protection
You're laughing at this dance
But you don't understand the circumstance
I'm running out of reasons
To give you another chance
[Post-Chorus]
So light up
[Verse 2]
It's all about the pretense
It's all about the imaginary
It's all about the showmanship
So when you lose out, you walk free
[Verse 3]
You're drowning in the ocean
You won't let anybody hear you shout
You know that if they heard you
They might just try to help you out
[Pre-Chorus]
And you're outstanding, demanding
That everybody sees
You're the greatest liar still at large
And you're destructive, conductive
To electricity
And you charge
[Chorus]
It's never been in question
Whether you have got direction
But you need to stay grounded
It's for everyone's protection
You're laughing at this dance
But you don't understand the circumstance
I'm running out of reasons
To give you another chance
[Bridge]
So light up your darkened thoughts now
Look back upon all you've wrought now
Light up your darkened dreaming
Ignore the ghosts, ignore their screaming
Light up your poisonous plans
Your fate is out of your hands
Yesterday won't come back to you
So try to think things through
[Chorus]
It's never been in question
Whether you have got direction
But you need to stay grounded
It's for everyone's protection
You're laughing at this dance
But you don't understand the circumstance
I'm running out of reasons
To give you another chance
It's never been in question
Whether you have got direction
But you need to stay grounded
It's for everyone's protection
You're laughing at this dance
But you don't understand the circumstance
I'm running out of reasons
To give you another chance
[Post-Chorus]
So light up your darkened thoughts now
Look back upon all you've wrought now
Light up your darkened dreaming
Ignore the ghosts, ignore their screaming
Light up your poisonous plans
Your fate is out of your hands
Yesterday won't come back to you
So try to think things through
[Outro]
And light up
