Jern Eye - Lights Out lyrics

rate me

It’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
