[Verse 1]
They tell us we can be whatever we want to be
But astronauts don't even go to the moon now
A thousand people with one chance on an open sea
We learn from mistakes, why we shutting the schools down?
Crowded spaces with no place left for no sympathy
Tried to fit in but didn't fit in the symmetry
Yes I know, the truth is bittersweet
We're just instruments in an administry symphony

[Pre-Chorus]
But when the lights go off, life goes on
And when the lights go off, life goes on
And when the lights go off, life goes on

[Chorus]
When the lights go off, life goes on
When the lights go off, life goes on

[Verse 2]
Woke up this morning like the day before yesterday
That one percent still owns like half of the planet
I turn the radio own and hear the same records play
Is there really, really nothing left to say?
Crowded spaces but all these faces resemble me
Every smile is a silence I know the better me
Yes I know, yes I know
I gave it everything, maybe it wasn't meant to be
[Pre-Chorus]
But when the lights go off, life goes on
And when the lights go off, life goes on
And when the lights go off, life goes on

[Chorus]
When the lights go off, life goes on
When the lights go

[Bridge]
You can catch me on the Redline
Catching headlines, in my Nike's
I'm a Kenyan, I move at light speed
It's a jungle, but we don't sightsee
I'm livin' life like there's no one like me

I feel them racist remarks on me
It's meant to break us apart slowly
But this is straight from the heart so, we
Ain't afraid of the dark no, see

[Outro]
It all changes, yeah
No more strangers, yeah
