Voices and people in highways
I hear a song in the darkest sounds
Trapped on the radio,
I played every time that I'm going down
Momma saying, "Oh, my Lord, tell me, boy,
what have you done?"
They ask me what I'm waiting for
The night has only just begun
Oh, when you turned your back on me
I made that my history
The more I learn the less I bleed
'Til the lights go out, I'll sing
I want to go, I want to go hide
Where the stars are as close as the sky
'Til the lights go out on me
'Til I write my symphony
Dark is a light when I'm sideways
I took the knives and I've made my crown
They say keep it for the radio for times sake
I'm so proud of breaking it down
Momma saying, "Oh, my Lord, tell me, boy,
what have you done?"
They ask me what I'm waiting for
The night has only just begun
Oh, when you turned your back on me
I made that my history
The more I learn the less I bleed
'Til the lights go out, I'll sing
I want to go, I want to go hide
Where the stars are as close as the sky
'Til the lights go out on me
'Til I write my symphony
I want to go, I want to go hide
I want to go, I want to go hide
'Til the lights go out on me
'Til I write my symphony
I took all your judgement, look at what I made
I made music from the silence
I made symphonies from pain
Since a child, I was born for this
Ain't nothing you could say
This for all my generation
From the one they cast away, ay
I took all your judgement
Look at what I made
I made music from the silence
I made symphonies from pain
Since a child, I was born for this
Ain't nothing you could say
This for all my generation
From the one they cast away
Oh, when you turned your back on me
I made that my history
The more I learn the less I bleed
'Til the lights go out, I'll sing
I want to go, I want to go hide
Where the stars are as close as the sky
'Til the lights go out on me
'Til I write my symphony
