Lightbulb Lyrics

There is a lightbulb in my apartment

That promised me for fifteen years

That it would cast my fading shadow

But I know it's gonna outlive me you see

I face reality

Thirty-five and I we don't agree

If this is happening to you

Sing out of spite

They ruined my chances

Of having a life that

Rivals the hours spent

In a daydream

Now it is hopeless

Time less than worthless

Hang high your head

The end it is coming

And as it turns out, when I crumbled

I was built on such unsteady ground

All the pillars that I leaned on

Were thin as paper though they looked like stone

The sun is failing me

The linings aren't as silver as they seem

We live in apathy together

And sing out of spite

They ruined my chances

Of having a life that

Rivals the hours spent

In a daydream

Now it is hopeless

Time less than worthless

Hang high your head

The end it is coming

The tree your coffin will come from

Is solemnly waiting to die

Is that like you?

To wait for anything

I promise there is no other way

Be a light, for today

There is a lightbulb in my apartment

I did my best for fifteen years

To give you someone to cast a shadow

But silhouettes deceive the ones like me

Make it permanent

Life is longer lived in agony

If this is happening to you

Sing out of spite

They ruined my chances

Of having a life that

Rivals the hours spent

In a daydream

Now it is hopeless

Time less than worthless

Hang high your head

The end it is coming

They ruined my chances

Of having a life that

Rivals the hours spent

In a daydream

Now it is hopeless

Time less than worthless

Hang high your head

The end it is coming
