Lost In the Light - Bahamas

Beg for mercy, but we know That my every prayer was born to fail Whatever it takes Whatever it costs This can't be the life that I've lost Forever lost in the fire It burns as far as the eye can see One chance, my only desire I won't be bound to misery I'm losing the battle, but we know That it was over when the war began Whatever it takes Whatever it costs I will claim the life that I've lost (Until my dying day) Forever lost in the fire It burns as far as the eye can see One chance, my only desire I won't be bound to misery This I swear On all that's holy I'll die for life And it consumes me I'll die for life Follow me down I'll die for life Follow me One chance, my only desire Forever lost in the fire It burns as far as the eye can see One chance, my only desire I won't be bound to misery I'll die for life Follow me down I'll die for life Follow me

I'm lost in the light I pray for the night To take me, to take me to After so many words Still nothing's heard I don't know what we should do If someone can see me now, let them see you Let them see you See you through All the hard things we've all gotta do 'Cause this life is long So you wouldn't be wrong Bein' free here with me on my own It was my greatest thrill But we just stood still You let me hold your hand 'til I had my fill Even countin' sheep Don't help me sleep I just toss and turn right there beside you Someone could help me now, they'd help you too. Let them see you See you through All the hard things we've all gotta do 'Cause this life is long So you wouldn't be wrong Bein' free here with me on my own

Yeah, yo You were that foundation Never gonna be another one, no I followed, so taken So conditioned, I could never let go Then sorrow, then sickness Then the shock when you flip it on me So hollow, so vicious So afraid, I couldn't let myself see That I could never be held Back or up, no, I hold myself Check the rep, yep, you know mine well Forget the rest, let them know my hell There and back, yet my soul ain't sell Kept respect up, the best they fell Let the rest be the tale they tell That I was there, saying In these promises broken, deep below Each word gets lost in the echo So, one last lie I can see through This time, I finally let you go, go, go Test my will, test my heart Let me tell you how the odds gonna stack up Y'all go hard, I go smart How's that working out for y'all in the back, huh? I've seen that, frustration Been crossed and lost and told no And I've come back, unshaken Let down and lived and let go So, you can let it be known I don't hold back, I hold my own I can't be mapped, I can't be cloned I can't C-flat, it ain't my tone I can't fall back, I came too far Hold myself up and love my scars Let the bells ring wherever they are 'Cause I was there, saying In these promises broken, deep below Each word gets lost in the echo So, one last lie I can see through This time, I finally let you go No, you can tell 'em all now I don't back up, I don't back down I don't fold up, and I don't bow I don't roll over, don't know how I don't care where the enemies are Can't be stopped, all I know, go hard Won't forget how I got this far For every time, saying In these promises broken, deep below Each word gets lost in the echo So, one last lie I can see through This time, I finally let you go (Go), go, (Go) Go (Go), go (Go), go (Go), go (Go), go (Go)

One, two, three Why are you hanging on so tight To the rope that I'm hanging from? Off this island, this was an escape plan (this was an escape plan) Carefully timed it, so let me go And dive into the waves below Who tends the orchards? Who fixes up the gables? Emotional torture from the head of your high table Who fetches the water from the rocky mountain spring? And walk back down again to feel your words and their sharp sting And I'm getting fucking tired The capillaries in my eyes are bursting If our love died, would that be the worst thing? For somebody I thought was my saviour You sure make me do a whole lot of labour The calloused skin on my hands is cracking If our love ended, would that be a bad thing? And the silence haunts our bed chamber You make me do too much labour You make me do too much labour Apologies from my tongue, and never yours Busy lapping from flowing cup and stabbing with your fork I know you're a smart man (I know you're a smart man), and weaponise The false incompetence, it's dominance under a guise If we had a daughter, I'd watch and could not save her The emotional torture, from the head of your high table She'd do what you taught her, she'd meet the same cruel fate So now I've gotta run, so I can undo this mistake At least I've gotta try The capillaries in my eyes are bursting If our love died, would that be the worst thing? For somebody I thought was my saviour You sure make me do a whole lot of labour The calloused skin on my hands is cracking If our love ends, would that be a bad thing? And the silence haunts our bed chamber You make me do too much labour All day, every day, therapist, mother, maid Nymph then a virgin, nurse then a servant Just an appendage, live to attend him So that he never lifts a finger 24-7, baby machine So he can live out his picket fence dreams It's not an act of love if you make her You make me do too much labour All day, every day, therapist, mother, maid Nymph then virgin, nurse and a servant Just an appendage, live to attend him So that he never lifts a finger 24-7, baby machine So he can live out his picket fence dreams It's not an act of love if you make her You make me do too much labour All day, every day, therapist, mother, maid (The capillaries in my eyes are bursting) Nymph then virgin, nurse and a servant (If our love died, would that be the worst thing?) Just an appendage, live to attend him (For somebody I thought was my saviour) So that he never lifts a finger (You sure make me do a whole lot of labour) 24-7, baby machine (The calloused skin on my hands is crackin') So he can live out his picket fence dreams (If our love ends, would that be a bad thing?) It's not an act of love if you make her (And the silence haunts our bed chamber) You make me do too much labour
