Jern Eye - Lights Out lyrics
rate meIt’s like even in the dark
I see a light when the energy spark
Young men afraid to love, raised by their single moms
I was raised by my pops and taught to stay calm
Even if I seem different and chose to listen
Time heals the pain while we search for what’s missing
Disrespect the women and afraid of commitment
In the age of the light they still call the women “bitches”
As if I was a gentleman, you would think I’m timid
That’s the same poison when they’re selling you this image
A generation lost in translation
She don’t have to love me the same to be amazing
I scroll through her messages from when we first met
I smile ‘cause we were fresh, how I remember it best
That feeling in my chest when every answer was “yes”
Thank you for the moment, lights out until the next
I was never into writing poetry
Started in the fall, I might finish with my eulogy
Let it all go, it’s the irony of mastery
Humble myself, don’t you like it when I say “actually”?
Actually those the kind of moments that felt
Fuck me up in the head, she couldn’t be herself
Told her I’ll never judge, none of that’s budged
I even like her moves, it’s my miniature crush
Used to Skype me in the AM just to hear what I’m saying
And now we barely speak as if we’re not relating
I can’t front and say none of that hurts
Started feeling like a punk if I didn’t value my worth, man
I guess there’s a death for every birth
But all of this is infinite, especially with her
Folks have a fear of loss, a fear of doubt
And I don’t fear shit, even when the lights out, it’s love
