lyrics

Skyline’s alive on a friday night
and I split like a diamond fractures the light
tonight we’re going deep inside
the city rips doubt aside
stumble in my step and blurry eyes
and I feel for a minute like I’m alive
to taste this dance
I will take more than just your hand

And all the songs in the club sound
larger than life with the bass up loud
dulls the pain
takes me away

glorious, today’s the day
we’ll set a fire to loneliness
and burn our way to faith
on a day just like today
we’ll mend all of our broken hearts
bring justice to the betrayed

Turnt right it’s Saturday night
the room’s aglow with the scatter of light
from your starry eyes, you’re alluring
turn you on, turn the music up
and we get down
take it to the bed, take back what I said
I’m better now
it’s just my heavy heart that weighs me down
like yours weighs you down

and all the songs on the radio
they’re all tired and played out so
play me out

Glorious, today’s the day
we’ll find our way to happiness
let meaning guide the way
on a day just like today
we’ll set aside our differences
and start a brand new way

but then morning comes
and it comes with an anvil’s weight
getting up is a trudge
need a shovel to clear my grave
and I know how I felt when I thought
there was hope for my fate
but now that I’m awake
I just don’t feel the same
drank enough to saturate this old town
yeah, I won’t go lightly to the background

told myself that I’d just sleep it off
but I just can’t seem to ever sleep enough
to feel like there’s a reason to be here
I paid attention but still don’t know
everyone’s got their theory for wellbeing
but none have helped
talked to all the doctors
and they can’t tell
took their pills and I’m still down
I’m down
talk to all my friends and they’re all well
and they say fix that frown
‘cause that’s what’s got you down
