They say the twenties are the best years of your life

But I seem to be spending mine missing sunsets

'Cause I'm busy on my phone observing everyone else

How I compare and obsess

Just me my phone and these walls

And I've been sober for some months

But I can feel the demons waiting on my downfall

Since I'm so ugly and irrelevant

I've been losing friends as if I'm tryna get rid of them

I Googled why I'm still desperate for validation and sedatives huh

Callin' men who don't give a about me

Then when my mother called I pretend I'm busy

I'm tryna end up anywhere except from where I been

Curtains closed bed bound amphetamines

Mmm and this devil on my shoulder man I'm tryna to shake him off

My ex is on my timeline it's as if he's showing off

My self-esteem is facetune and ring lights

My ego is conquering new heights

I think I need some think I need some

Do you need some do you need some

Don't we all need we all need some

Da-da-da da-da-da there'll be light

I think I need some

I lied I don't think I know I need some

I need some light some sweet sunshine

To feel alright please let there be light

I see a sad little sinner in the mirror

The devil works hard like my liver

I don't wanna be alive but I don't wanna die

A fistful of pills you're a nobody

Yeah uh-uh yeah uh uh-uh yeah

Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah uh uh-uh

Let there be light

Yeah uh-uh yeah uh uh-uh yeah

Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

Bang-bang that's depression at the door again

You know he'll beat the door down till you let him in the room

Since you are already acquainted you skip the foreplay

He grips you at the neck as you prepare to be screwed

You try to muster a flare to tell somebody you're sinking

But anxiety is an index finger pressed to your lips

A whiskey bottle it whispers since you're already bitter

A cocktail fit for a quitter come here and give me a kiss

I see a sad little sinner in the mirror

The devil works hard like my liver

I don't wanna be alive but I don't wanna die

A fistful of pills and rivers in my eyes

I've got nothin' left to lose dear God in the sky

Hear my cry hear my cry

When it's too dark to see

Let there be light let there be light

Let there be light

Yeah uh-uh yeah uh yeah-yeah yeah

Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah uh uh-uh

Let there be light

Yeah uh-uh yeah uh yeah-yeah yeah

Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

Yes I edit my pictures to make my waist look slimmer

And make my a*s look bigger so that

I'm someone you aspire to

Let me in your algorithm please

I know I'll only be important

If I'm someone you would like follow share and subscribe to

If you're thirsty like me

Mix some pity with some self hate

Stir it up then add twelve ounces of rosé

That's how I make the glass half-empty and drink it down

Beneath the curse words and the insecurities

Here lies a sorry little soul

And she doesn't even know what to pray for

Still just a heart broke

But I traded the back of the nightclub

I did for the bathroom floor

I wish I could call my ex

He would know just what to say

He don't say nothing at all now

Brings a tear to my eye

The only thing I rely on him to do is stay declining my calls now

I see a sad little sinner in the mirror

The devil works hard like my liver

I don't wanna be alive but I don't wanna die

A fistful of pills and rivers in my eyes

I've got nothin' left to lose dear God in the sky

Hear my cry hear my cry

When it's too dark to see let there be light

Let there be light let there be light

Little girls that have no self-esteem

A little boy without a father tries to find him in the streets

A girl I used to walk to school with

Took her life now rest in peace rest in peace

Fake democracy killing overseas

Killing ourselves suicide

Government lies discrimination

Hating ourselves

Why hope why keep going why try why

Genesis one verse three I'll dry my eyes

The only thing which darkness cannot coexist is the light

I see a sad little sinner in the mirror

The devil works hard like my liver

I don't wanna be alive but I don't wanna die

A fistful of pills and rivers in my eyes

I've got nothin' left to lose dear God in the sky

Hear my cry would you hear my cry

When it's too dark to see let there be light

Let there be light let there be light

Yeah

No no no

I want that light oh ayy

Let there be light

Oh let there be oh

Oh let there be oh

Oh that light

See I want that light in my house oh let there be light

I want that light in my car oh let there be light

I want that light in my pain oh let there be light

I want that light when it's dark dark da-dark

Oh no let there be oh let there be

Oh li-light

No no no no no no let there let there be light

For all the fathers and the teachers working hard in the night

For all the builders and the cleaners I pray let there be light

Oh for all the farmers and the chefs and the train-drivers yes

The nurses and the doctors God bless the NHs

Let the pay rise let the pay rise up

Let there be li-li-li-light

For all those overworked and underpaid and dreams of somewhere out of sight

Let there be light

Single mother all alone she's all alone

The baby's cryin'

And she's cryin' tears too to her sister on the phone

Bring her comfort bring her peace

I pray lord please yeah yeah

Da-da-doo da-doo da-doo da-doo doo-doo-doo doo-doo-doo

Now that's what I'm talking about
