Lighten Up - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Caught in the rain, now I'm wishing that I could say

"Another child killed along the tracks was causing my delays"

I'm a speaker on a podium with my hands both tied and my mouth sewn shut

Ran out of my mind and out of luck

Misspoke and told a lie, innocence thrown into the fire

Slow down, pick yourself up off the ground

Take a breath and bring yourself back to your feet

Picking fights on the lawn, bet we had it coming all along

That kid got bit by a rabid dog down the road

Lighten up your glow for me, celestial in the way that we all

Swallow our own hearts and then explode

Misspoke and told a lie, innocence thrown into the fire

Slow down, pick yourself up off the ground

Take a breath and bring yourself back to your feet

Spark that match, yeah, tell me, are you breathing?

Flame went out, but my heart's beating

I can't breathe, so I'll let the smoke consume me

Misspoke and told a lie, innocence thrown into the fire

Slow down, pick yourself up off the ground

Take a breath and bring yourself back to your feet

You've shown how even silence makes a sound

Lighten up in all your self-defeat

Spark that match, yeah, tell me, are you breathing?

(Lighten up your glow for me)

Flame went out, but my heart's beating

(Celestial in the way that we all)

Spark that match, yeah, tell me, are you breathing?

(Lighten up your glow for me)

Flame went out, but my heart's beating

The way that we'll explode
