[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
