[Verse 1]

I used to understand you

No, that's misleading, I still do

You've always been so proud of

The hurricane that follows you

[Pre-Chorus]

And you're demanding, outstanding

You're high above the rest

And you love to let everybody know

You're the Queen Bee and we'll see

You're nothing but the best

And you never let it go

[Chorus]

It's never been in question

Whether you have got direction

But you need to stay grounded

It's for everyone's protection

You're laughing at this dance

But you don't understand the circumstance

I'm running out of reasons

To give you another chance

[Post-Chorus]

So light up

[Verse 2]

It's all about the pretense

It's all about the imaginary

It's all about the showmanship

So when you lose out, you walk free

[Verse 3]

You're drowning in the ocean

You won't let anybody hear you shout

You know that if they heard you

They might just try to help you out

[Pre-Chorus]

And you're outstanding, demanding

That everybody sees

You're the greatest liar still at large

And you're destructive, conductive

To electricity

And you charge

[Chorus]

It's never been in question

Whether you have got direction

But you need to stay grounded

It's for everyone's protection

You're laughing at this dance

But you don't understand the circumstance

I'm running out of reasons

To give you another chance

[Bridge]

So light up your darkened thoughts now

Look back upon all you've wrought now

Light up your darkened dreaming

Ignore the ghosts, ignore their screaming

Light up your poisonous plans

Your fate is out of your hands

Yesterday won't come back to you

So try to think things through

[Chorus]

It's never been in question

Whether you have got direction

But you need to stay grounded

It's for everyone's protection

You're laughing at this dance

But you don't understand the circumstance

I'm running out of reasons

To give you another chance

It's never been in question

Whether you have got direction

But you need to stay grounded

It's for everyone's protection

You're laughing at this dance

But you don't understand the circumstance

I'm running out of reasons

To give you another chance

[Post-Chorus]

So light up your darkened thoughts now

Look back upon all you've wrought now

Light up your darkened dreaming

Ignore the ghosts, ignore their screaming

Light up your poisonous plans

Your fate is out of your hands

Yesterday won't come back to you

So try to think things through

[Outro]

And light up
