I don't want a life with the lights around me
I don’t want a life with the lights around me
I don't want a life with the lights around me
I don't want a life with the lights around me

Why can’t I say goodbye?
Tears in eyes look like diamonds
Empty form and crooked sound
You were a bird
What are you now?

Fill my open mouth with feathers
Everyone I knows got a different heaven
Glowing jack-o-lantern light
Open up my skull
Take out all the insides

I don't want a life with the lights around me
I don't want a life with the lights around me
I don't want a life with the lights around me
I don't want a life with the lights around me

Why can't I just move on?
Stuck in place by the weight of a sad song
Concrete legs, iron arms
Its all too soon, it took so long
Let the tears become an ocean
Say your name into every empty room
Seashells woven in your hair
Fill up my lungs with summer air


I don't want a life with the lights around me
I don't want a life with the lights around me
I don’t want a life with the lights around me
I don’t want a life with the lights around me
I don't want a life with the lights around me
I don’t want a life with the lights around me
I don't want a life with the lights around me
I don't want a life with the lights around me

Why can't I feel a thing?
I live life from under glass again
Saturday was gone too soon
The world kept crawling towards the moon

Minneapolis slept through sirens
Blackbirds in the dead eyed pre-dawn light
Waiting for the ice to fade
Hold tight, live life hindsight
Don’t change
