[Verse 1]

Bright

They called him bright

That meant good

That meant right

[Verse 2]

Proud

He made them proud

He had two friends

And they stood out

[Chorus]

And people noticed

The people came to them

And they told them

They could be brighter

[Verse 3]

Spark

His teacher lit a spark

The world was big

The world was dark

[Chorus]

But he could light it

And keep his people safe

They taught him good

They taught him right

What's right?

[Verse 4]

Lies

They fed him lies

He felt betrayed

So he cut tiеs

[Chorus]

They were his family

Hе burned them all the same

Then he broke

And lost his mind, his friends, his name

[Bridge]

Eleven years as a pit of ash

Waiting to blow away in the wind

A washed-up wunderkind

Circuits blown to smoking pieces

Tried to leave him there

I tried to be someone different here

But no matter the mud that dries on my face

It's cleaner than my insides

You treat me like I'm special

Someone gifted, someone good

Someone worthy, someone right

I was bright

Now I'm torn to smoking pieces

No, don't get too close

Don't you know that fire burns?

[Verse 5]

Good

You called me good

I'll try to live

You said I could

[Verse 6]

Right

I'll make this right

You make me brave

I'll make us bright

[Chorus]

When people notice

We'll bring the fire to them

And we'll show them

What makes us brighter
