Genesis

They say the twenties are the best years of your life
And I seem to be spending mine missing sunsets
'Cause I'm so 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 tryin' to get rid of them
I googled why I'm still desperat? for validation and sedatives, huh
Call a man who don't give a fuck about m?
Then when my mother called I pretend I'm busy
I'm tryna end up anywhere except from where I been
Cutting clothes, bed bound, amphetamines, mm
This devil on my shoulder, man, I'm tryin' to shake him off
My ex is on my timeline as if he's showing off
My self esteem is Facetuned 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 some? (We all need some)
Light (Let there be light)
Da-da-da, da-da-da (There'll be light)
I think I need some (Think I need some)
I lied, I don't think I
Know I need some
I need some light (Some sweet sunlight)
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 fist full 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 until you let him in the room
Since you're are already acquainted, you skip the foreplay
He grips you in the neck 'cause you're prepared to be screwed
You try to must 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 better"
I can't tell fit for a quid, "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 fist full of pills and rivers in my eyes
I've 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, let there be
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 (Uh, uh-uh)

Yes, I edit my pictures to make my waist look slimmer
And make my ass 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 (Like me)
Mix some pity with some self hate
Stir it up and add twelve ounces of rosé
This is how I'll make the glass half empty and drain it down

With clothe's wide and the insecurity is here
That's the story that was sold
And she doesn't even know what to pray for
Still just a heart broke bitch
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 fist full of pills and rivers in my eyes
I've 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, let there be
Let there be light

Little girls that have no self-steem (Yeah, yeah)
A little boy without a father tries to find 'em in the streets (Yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah)
You're gonna to walk to school (Yeah, yeah)
He took her life, now rest in peace (Rest in peace)
Fake democracy, killing 'em for seats (Yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah)
Killing ourselves, suicide (Yeah, yeah)
Government lies, discrimination
Hating ourselves (Yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah)
Why, oh, why keep going? Why try? (Why?)
Genesis one, verse three, I'll dry my eyes (Yeah, yeah)
The only thing which darkness cannot co-exist in is the light

I see a sad little sinner in the mirror
The devil works hard (Oh) like my liver
I don't wanna be alive, but I don't wanna die
A fist full of pills and rivers in my eyes
I've 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, let there be
Let there be light

Yeah, oh, no, no
I want that light, oh
I want that light, oh
Oh, let there be
I want 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, no, no (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, let there be (Oh, let there be)
Oh, li-light
No, no, no, no, no, no, let there be light

For all the fathers and the teachers (Working hard at night)
For all the builders and the cleaners (I pray, "Let there be light")
For all the farmers and the chefs and the train drivers, yes
The nurses and the doctors, God bless the NHS
Let their pay rise (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Let their pay rise up
Let there be light, light, light
For all those overworked and underpaid and dreams of somewhere out of sight
Let there be light
Single mother, no, no-no (She's all alone)
The baby's cryin'
And she's cryin' tears too9, to her sister on the phone
Bring her comfort (Bring her comfort), bring her peace (Bring her comfort)
I pray you 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)
Oh, let there be
Lord, let there be
Don't we all need a little?

See, I want that light in my house, I do (Oh, let there be light)
I want that light in my car (Oh, let there be light)
I want that light in my dreams, yeah, doo-de
Oh, baby, light all the darkness
Light up the darkness, Lord (Oh, let there be light)
Let there be light, Lord

Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do
Ooh, hey
